has the unconfirmed scoop this morning that erstwhile Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti—who declared he needed to get out of the biz because newspapers were dying—will start at the Chicago Tribune on September 1. In case you were wondering, since he left the Sun-Times, Mariotti has been playing over at FanHouse and hollering to no end. Literally, there is no end in sight, and no end could possibly justify the means.
So now he might be coming to the Trib, which for the first time would put me on his side. By which I mean: Die newspapers, die.

Scum-Slimes was way ahead just for getting rid of QT, but this could make it a whole new ballgame.
