Jay's column today has me speechless, so I'm going to let Tom at "Foul Balls" (a quality Chicago sports blog) do the heavy lifting for me. The blog can be found here.

Jay Mariotti is a Jackass Note to Jay Mariotti: get the fuck over it. You constantly rip on Ozzie Guillen, Hawk Harrelson, and the White Sox for perpetuating their fued with you, yet you're the one who never fucking shuts up about it. Last week, you actually had the nerve to write an entire column blaming Hawk Harrelson for costing Freddy Garcia a perfect game because he mentioned it on the air. Aren't you that same jackass who has routinely made fun of Cubs fans over the years for believing in silly curses and other superstitions? Well, aren't you? So I guess I'm the idiot for being shocked you would write such stupid, pointless drivel contradicting everything else you've ever said. I mean, you've made an entire career out of it. It's what you do, Jay. Then today I see this in your column: "This won't be found in any Elias Sports Bureau statistical package, but on June 20, the night Ozzie Guillen called me ''a [bleeping]fag,'' the Sox were 45-25. Since then, they are a sloppy 39-41 and looking like they intend to uphold a lame franchise tradition: No back-to-back postseason appearances." That's right. Jay Mariotti just took credit for the Sox not winning the division this year. It's not because the pitching staff has an ERA a full run higher this season than last, it's because Ozzie Guillen dared to insult the greatest writer, nay human!!, that this world has ever known. Mr. Jay Mariotti. No wonder people read blogs these days.
