Seriously, deadspin has the opportunity here to invent a new word in the english language. The next time you want to use the same offensive slang word that got Ozzie in so much trouble, instead use the word "Mariotti". This has Leather potential. What a Flaming Mariotti.

I know that one day Veronica and I are gonna to get married on top of a mountain, and there's going to be flutes playing and trombones and flowers and garlands of fresh herbs. And we will dance till the sun rises! And then our children will form a family band! And we will tour the countryside and you won't be invited!

Ok, I dislike Mariotti as much as the next guy, and while I believe he should've handled it way differently, I'm glad Ozzie's getting dragged through the mess that he created. Of course, I'm a Cubs fan. Anyhoo, here's how I would've handled it: "That Guillen chose to attack me in a way that is offensive and derogatory to a significant percentage of the population shows that he is a person that is prone to mistakes, as we all are. That he refuses to acknowledge that he made a mistake in the first place tells you much more about the type of person he is." End of story, leave it at that.

I'm confused. Marriotti's father is a butler? Will be be starring in 'Remains of the Jay' after Ozzie, The Big Hurt, Crazy Carl and "Massive Headwound" Aaron get finished with him? This whole thing is so ... childish? Oh, yeah, that's right. This is baseball we're talking about. Makes perfect sense now.

Wow, worst piece of "journalism" I have ever been privy to. Marriotti has always been an asshat, but this beyond-pathetic display is taking it to a new level. I don't know how a journalist gets credentials, but however it is done, please take this windbags away.

There's no other way to explain this other than the fact that Mariotti is indeed a closet homosexual. I think you guys are reading this all wrong. He's not telling the "Ozzie pretended to have sex with me" story out of disgust, but out of disappointment.

Red Sox Chick — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 11:15:44 EDT

How does Mariotti NOT get that no one gives a rat's hairy ass that Ozzie said those things about HIM? Anyone who takes issue with what Ozzie said, ONLY takes issue with the fact that he chose the words he did...not at who he lobbed those words toward. Mariotti must have gone to the Dan Shaughnessy school of "Make the story about yourself".

gravy, no that's the problem, he continues to insert himself into this non-story. he's using this incident as an outlet for his years of tension with the sox organization. or maybe he just has fred smoot's dildo shoved so far up his ass he can't help himself. that's all

Mariotti has mentioned them, but not nearly as angrily as he has done in his columns. Also, surprisingly, when Stat Douche brought the issue up, everyone else on that show rushed to Mariotti's side. It was disgusting. And yeah, working through Jay's column today was wince-inducing at every turn. "He was - how do I put this? - pretending to have sex with me." (paraphrased) C'mon Jay...you liked it. Maybe just a little bit, huh?

does mariotti know that he's not supposed to make himself the story? would it be so wrong if he took a trip to the bahamas for a week so we wouldn't have to read his crap or see his pained visage on espn?

I am proud to say I watched Around the Horn expressly to see how they treated Ozzie-gate. Marioti recuse himself? Not a chance. And I believe it was Kevin Blackistone who suggested Ozzie should appologize to the great Mariotti.

Mr. Soul — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 10:32:58 EDT

I treat all Chicago franchises with the same brush. When a team wins, I tell you why, which might explain the scads of recent columns commending Guillen for his baseball leadership, general manager Ken Williams for his aggressive trades and Reinsdorf for his $100 million payroll. When a team doesn't win, I might write why Dusty Baker should be fired, why Jerry Angelo is a hit-and-miss football executive and why the Blackhawks have fallen farther than any franchise in sports. That's what a columnist does.- Jay Marioti, Sun Times, June 22, 2006 First, a journalist's job is to report stories- Jay's Daddy, Pittsburgh Tribune Review, June 25, 2006 Nowhere in these job descriptions does it say anything about making yourself THE story.

This is my favorite part: "It's certainly not about fear. It's about dignity, couth, professionalism and a refusal to lower myself to laws made by jockdom." Mariotti, we want you on that wall, we need you on that wall. By the way, someone used his thesaraus! Although, "couth" may be a little over the top you unbelievable dousche. couth adj. Marked by or possessing a high degree of sophistication; refined: "Many picnics manage without this sophistication, but we like to be couth and feel that the delicacies of gracious living enhance the chances" (John Gould).

Mariotti's protests would be more convincing if he hadn't written this column while on the float promoting "Bat Up Your Butt Sideways" flavor Altoids at this weekend's Gay Pride Parade in NYC. The image of Mariotti in a yellow thong, pumping his fist to "Dancing Queen", will haunt me more than the one episode of "Quite Frankly" I happened to see.
