hiney birds in the news

News item: "The buzz in the press boxes is that Mr. Mariotti is going to work at the Chicago Tribune in some capacity. Since Tribune officials are declining to comment on the matter, you know something is in the works."

Corms was wrong - he is missed

"We wish Jay well and will miss him — not personally, of course — but in the sense of noticing he is no longer here, at least for a few days."
-- Chicago Scum-Slimes editor Michael Cooke

I look forward to Hawk and DJ's gloating farewell tribute

Jay Mariotti, the opinionated and polarizing sports "columnist" for the Chicago Sun-Times, has resigned after 17 years with the "paper," he told the Tribune on Tuesday night.

Just back from Beijing, where he "covered" the Olympics, Mariotti said in a phone interview that he decided to quit after it became clear while in China that sports journalism had become "entirely a Web site business. There were not many newspapers there." He added that most of the journalists covering the Games were "there writing for Web sites." (Waaaaaaaaaaah... Ed.)

Mariotti, whose public battles with fellow staffers, team owners, managers, coaches and rival columnists are legendary, didn't disclose any specific plans except to say he will continue doing his regular stint on ESPN's "Around the Horn."

He said he "is talking with a lot of Web sites" and added that the future of his business "sadly is not in newspapers."
