March 11, 201511 yr The odds of my clicking that link are about as good as Jay getting hired back at the Sun Times.
March 11, 201511 yr The odds of me clicking that link are on par with the odds of me watching the Oprah Network while eating a Papa John's pizza and drinking Budweiser.

March 11, 201511 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 10:55 AM) Sooooooo you are saying there is a chance... Only in the sense that my wife might leave the TV on OWN when she turns it off and I accidentally see it when I turn it back on.

It also says at one point he thought he was the one that got Obama elected. You cannot make this stuff up. I saw this and thought about what would happen if I had simply posted his name, no other information, in the Chicago Sports Media thread. Too late now but I'll think about it the next time he goes off the radar for a while.
March 14, 201511 yr I hope he has cured his personal demons. Early in his career he was a really solid writer. He seemed to have several personal issues and he self destructed.

It also says at one point he thought he was the one that got Obama elected. You cannot make this stuff up. The whole article is very tongue in cheek. In a befitting kind of way the sfist.com article you linked is really biased against Jay. I met Obama when he was a junior state senator in Illinois and I was a Chicago sports columnist. I also might be one reason why he has his current job. At one point, he faced a daunting race against a Republican challenger named Mike Ditka. No one is more popular in those parts than Da Coach, but one day, knowing how sleazy politics can be (particularly in that state), I wrote a column urging Ditka to reconsider based on lies and embellishments that might be spread about his private life. Days later, Ditka bowed out. Instead of losing and fading away, Obama won. So blame me for President Sports Geek. Read more at http://www.sportstalkflorida.com/barack-et...7WbG03j2MEYb.99
March 17, 201511 yr Author If anyone wants to read some comedy, here is Eric Zorn's Marriotti Year in Review article from 2005. Jay appears to be all over the place. Of course he knows all, and when he is ultimately wrong and can't spin that, he uses the "nobody thought they could win" so it's OK he was totally wrong in what he was writing route. http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_colum...ariottis_y.html
