Saying the White Sox brass should fire Ozzie Guillen for the nth time is completely redundant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-21204330617956436102008-06-10T18:36:00.000-04:002008-06-10T18:36:00.000-04:00I actually like Mariotti's writing and his contrib...I actually like Mariotti's writing and his contributions to Around the Horn. I'll give him credit in that he has the guts to actually rip players and managers. Too many media members kiss up to the athletes and coaches and it's unfair that Mariotti is getting ripped for this Guillen incident. Regardless of this, Mariotti is a good journalist and I enjoy his work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-56434341592030421562008-06-10T17:08:00.000-04:002008-06-10T17:08:00.000-04:00Rick Telander could kick Jay's ass from both a jou...Rick Telander could kick Jay's ass from both a journalistic standpoint as well as physically, though that is not saying much.
