About the Submitter

Manny Stiles
Sports is my crack. ArmchairGM is my pipe.

Awesome Jay Mariotti has been FIRED!
(Submitted June 17, 2008)
Just kidding!

He's so good they would NEVER fire him! In fact, they gave him a new contract extension!!!

Second City extends it's dominance in Sucktitude!!!

Some people find great joy in this news AND dislike the guy all at the same time! (me)

2011 will be his 20th year in Chicago.

I think this is wonderful news for all who love and enjoy watching a bunch of idiots get into a tizzy over an innocuous turds words.

it tickles me when I think that there are people in the world dedicating their lives to getting this guy fired while he just keeps getting more and more popular!!!

Perhaps if the morons trying to get him fired weren't so busy getting banned from quality sites such as this one, their subpar efforts wouldn't be such a total waste of time...

But then again... morons do what morons do!

... I can tell them how "successful" their efforts have been?

Actually, I blame THEM for making him more popular!

I never even listened to him or read anything he wrote until THEY introduced me to him.

They didn't call him at 3:15 in the morning to tell him, did they? ;-)

Meanwhile, the "Sucktard" has reacted by visciously attacking Billy Ray Cyrus by copy and pasting his own quotes then slipping in 6 whole words directed as a "cheap shot" at Roger Clemens!

Wow, they are so "scathing" and all I want to know is HOW DO THEY COME UP with such breathtaking creativity?!?!?!

Billy Ray, Rocket... Hi-La-Ri-Ous...

I must've accidentally broke my calendar because it says it's June...

Yeah, it's a damn wonder why Mariotti is still employed with such a powerful force demanding his firing...

It must be "Pedophiles Month" at JTJ... (again).

How much more obsessed can F&F get?? Eeeek.

Posting pictures of the Cyruses is as creative as they've been in... well, ever!

I'm still waiting for the South Park rendition. So I can ignore that one too.

I honestly don't know how Mariotti and the rest of the Around the Horn clowns keep their jobs. 95% of the writers who go on that show are horrible writers (Bill Plaschke I'm looking at you) and make fools of themselves on a regular basis on ESPN. I think it's best just to ignore them. How ATH stays on the air, I have no idea, but as long as I don't turn on ESPN at 5, the show doesn't exist to me.

I don't pay that much attention to Horn, Farney. I wait for PTI or tape it and watch it later.

He keeps getting fired at JTJ but he makes more money and gets longer contracts in the N.F.W. (Non-F. World)...

ATH needs to get more well-rounded sports writers on the show, instead of niche guys like Cowlishaw who like JUST hockey and racing. Or... they could always just let Mariotti and Paige go at like, like a 2nd-rate PTI.

Even PTI's starting to bother me. Kornheiser knows absolutely nothing about sports outside of big name players and if I hear another thing about Idol I'm going light myself on fire in protest. It's getting to the point where I'm almost glad when le Batard is there instead of Kornheiser. And that's just sad.

Now that the Finals are over, isn't it time for another useless "tournament of pointlessness"?

Who's Now Now?

What's Next After That?

Unneccessary Hypeness?
