In Which We Might Be Getting To Jay

As the tide turns, so does Jay’s support for the Bears.  One week they look shaky and he’s out on a limb.  Two weeks later they dominate and he’s their front-running supporter, extolling the virtues of Urlacher (possibly because he is frightened after Urlacher recently said Mariotti was the one non-football player he’d like to “hit").  We’re all used to that.  When a Chicago sports team is succeeding, Jay is their number one fan.  When they aren’t, Jay has a convoluted idea about what needs to change.

What changed today was that in a column in which Jay rambled on and on about his love of Urlacher, he actually admitted that he regrets bashing the linebacker for his life off the field.

These days, Urlacher is caught up in legal dramas, but while his image took a hit in this column and elsewhere last year, his performances are center stage again.

Okay, so it’s not exactly an admission of any wrongdoing, but it is self-aware, something that I don’t believe has been seen to date in one of Mariotti’s columns.  This is the first time since we started this site that Jay has even hinted that he might, in fact, regret something that he wrote.

We all know what this means.  Jay is too egomaniacal not to read this blog, and now we’re really starting to get to him.

In which we learn Little Man’s true priorities-

“On opening night at the new Soldier Field, who could forget Miss Paris in her No. 54 jersey, waiting in line with sportswriters for a press-level bathroom because toilets were overflowing in the other bathroom?”

We learn today that the job Little Man REALLY wants is that of two-bit gossip columnist. Seriously- other than Little Man, who has thought about Paris Hilton and Brian Urlacher in light of yesterday’s performance by Urlacher and the entire team? One person.

While everyone else basked in the cool glowing light of a near slaughter-rule game, Jay was painting his nails and dreaming of how twiterpated he was when Paris Hilton (!) cam to town.

I guess when a “columnist” doesn’t bother to write anything substantive about the game, doesn’t bother to interview a single person from the Bears organization, and merely watches the game at home, his topics to write about are commensurately diminished.

Jay- I hear they’re hiring at Us Weekly. Your discussions of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are far more appropriate there.

Cubs2578, i couldnt agree more on your Paris Hilton assessment.  Everytime Mariotti writes an Urlacher column, whether it be a negative or positive column, he mentions Paris Hilton.  Honestly, who even cares about that anymore?  What was that, 3 years ago now?  Maybe Mariotti can slip a Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt reference in there as well?  Or he can talk about how the 2003 Cubs blew it because of Bartman(that would be the 11 milionth time from Mariotti).  It is pathetically sad that this guy has no connection with the fans of the teams he attempts to rip with some sort of “insider” and fan-based perspective. 

But this blog is getting to him.  I have no doubts about that.  Although i have to disagree with Pat’s assumption that Mariotti was displaying some sort of regret at ripping on Urlacher.  He never regretted anything. 

These days, Urlacher is caught up in legal dramas, but while his image took a hit in this column and elsewhere last year, his performances are center stage again.

He mentions that Urlachers image took a hit, but he makes no attempt to apologize for villifying Urlacher for his personal business(Who the hell decided that Urlachers child custody battle was something that the public needed to know?  That is just evil).  Mariotti just mentions that his performances are in center stage. 

Wake up, Robert Bonner.

LOL, I just had to do that.

Jay trying to make nice? Doubtful.

In a week that saw him go from calling it a “tainted World Series”, to demanding that the world series be played in warm weather cities, to him giving Larussa a hand job, Jay was at a loss for anything negative to write about. And we all know, that’s how this man exisits. Now the Bears have to go and play a great game and screw things up even more for tiny.

He did give us this gem…

“in this reactionary sports town of ours”

Point #1 - Pot this is kettle, Kettle this is pot. If anyone is reactionary in Chicago, it would be tiny. This guy lives to write in a reactive state of mind and to cause as many reactions as possible.

Point #2 - Does Jay really think he shares in any of the wins or losses like the fans do? “Ours” should never be written by this hack. As much as he may like thinking that Chicago is his home, the people of Chicago would never lay claim to this piece of shit.

Go Bears!

I couldn’t help myself- this is the first thing that popped into my head when I read this from Tinky’s column- god, I love this movie.

Sports journalism is a form of journalism that reports on sports topics and events.

A gossip columnist is someone who writes a gossip column in a newspaper or magazine, especially a gossip magazine, that prints gossip stories, spreading news of a personal, private nature, and/or rumors and lies, usually about show business, the motion picture, theater, and television industries, celebrities, movie stars, superstars, people of politics, sports, and of wealth and society.

Some gossip columnists broadcast segments on radio and television.

Which definition better describes Tinky?- he might make history as the first sports gossip columnist.

This junk is nothing but professional jealousy, a feeling in some NFL locker rooms that Urlacher is too commercialized by a league that aches to market the ferocity—and whiteness—of a seek-and-destroy, video-game attacker doing his work in the city of linebackers in a ‘’Madden ‘07’’ world.

There are those damn - - again.

And us lowly Internet creatures can only imagine the horror and hateful discrimination for being a Caucasian-American.

Somebody call David Duke.

C’mon guys, gals and those undecided. The league wants to market “whiteness”? Does that mean that they no longer want fans with natural tans? What the hell is this fuck head talking about? Calling this fool a loon is an insult to stupid birds the world over.

I’m certainly not defending Mariotti and his gossip column reporting style, but jeez...did anyone see the front page of the Sun-Times yesterday?  Why was Tyna Robertson front-page news?  Maybe if the Sun-Times wasn’t such a second rate rag, they could get better reports that report, dare I say...REAL NEWS!!!!

But I didn’t have sex with her...that seems to be prerequisite to her lawsuits, so I’m safe.

You never know, she is known to change tactics.

Afterall, how does she go from lord of the whatever to Brian Urlacher?

Again, proof that we are all getting to Tinky

is ignore all silly polls and ‘’overrated’’ hogwash about Brian Urlacher - perhaps, as silly as Tyrone’s polls have been? Perhaps, Tinky has checked out the F***tard poll?

is too commercialized by a league that aches to market the ferocity—and whiteness—of a seek-and-destroy Great “dash work"- again, I say, dash away Tinky. Plus, what the fuck is he talking about regarding the “whiteness” issue? Is Tinky dare saying that the league is racist?

If the target himself can dismiss the bashing with an annoyed shrug, shouldn’t we? - who is “we”? Ego-centric mother fucker. 

‘’Watch the field,’’ Urlacher the Linebacker said by his locker after making one of the most athletic,- “Urlacher the Linebacker”? Common, what happened to “Brian the One night in Paris Urlacher”?  Plus, Tinky, don’t try to sound like you were there.

Even in the grunt-and-spit domain of pro football - Tyrone- this is by far the most homo-sexual phrase yet- so, Tinky spit’s instead of swallows. I wonder what he’s thinking about when he writes his gossip columns?

know he once had a little fun with Paris Hilton in Las Vegas, where what happened obviously didn’t stay in Vegas.- feels like “jealousy writing” to me- perhaps, deep down Tinky really wishes he could have been Paris?

and it reminded us that Ben Wallace may have competition as the most physical rebounder in town - no comment needed

On opening night at the new Soldier Field, who could forget Miss Paris in her No. 54 jersey, waiting in line with sportswriters for a press-level bathroom because toilets were overflowing in the other bathroom? These days, Urlacher is caught up in legal dramas, but while his image took a hit in this column and elsewhere last year, his performances are center stage again. Seriously, you have to be a total loon to use the o-word.- gossip, gossip, gossip, “o....o....o"- he seriosly didn’t write this thinking he could get away with it? This is a serious cry for help- he’s begging to come out of the closet- he wants the world to know-

But with Donovan McNabb in regression, maybe Urlacher’s candidacy will have legs if you believe my theory that he’s the dominant force of the league’s most intimidating unit “my theory"- Tinky should copyright this “theory” of his. I’m sure he’s the only one who thinks that the bears have the best defensive line.

He’s too much a team guy to ever pump himself - another great homo phraise- Urlacher doesn’t need to “pump” himself- Tinky, you already have your kneepads on, reading to “spit” away-

The better idea is to savor an awesome start and realize there are no apparent worries—running game, check; Cedric Benson’s ego, check; Grossman’s poise, check—before the litmus tests arrive in New York and New England.-
Confused here- so, now the Bears have no worries? What will the all mighty Tinky write about-
Second, is he accussing the Bears organization of being on drugs? And again, dash away mother fucker, dash away.

As for the 3,835 no-shows on a beautiful fall day - which seat where you in again Tinky?

So, today we have three top contenders for the homo phraise of the day- I know Tyrone has a poll up so you can add
1. Spit or swallow?
2. “O...o....o”
3. Urlacher pumping himself

"The thing we must do, in this reactionary sports town of ours . . . If the target himself can dismiss the bashing with an annoyed shrug, shouldn’t we?”

Jamel mentioned this in his point 3 but I think it bears repeating.  Who does this DB think he is persuming to speak for anybody other than himself, Bonner and a few other fellow F***tard?  We can form our own opinions, thank you.

Since today’s column has been picked apart nicely by other posters, I, unlike Jay, will not repeat anything more than has been written.

I agree.

If F***tard and His minions only hear from one or two posters, it gets chalked up as much ado about nothing.

But if dozens (hundreds?) bitch about His columns* (even if the points are similar), then it holds more water.

Rip away, and don’t forget to sign that damn petition. (we’ve already got over 50 signatures, that’s already more than the 34 or whatever that F***tard is wailing about in his column on Urlacher.)

This is typical Little Man. He is setting up a straw man, whom he can then knock down. His argument- “other people” want Urlacher to succeed because he’s white. I myself am not like “them”; I am not a racist.

Thank god we have Little Man to save our souls.

The dissing started a couple of years ago, when the Sporting News lapped up some much-needed attention and declared him the league’s most overrated player.

Hey Pittsburgh white boy, don’t be talking like no brother now, got it?

Big Star  on  10/30  at  12:01 PM
 

i dont read his columns anymore so Im not exactly qualified to shred it. In fact when I still lived there I switched to the Cubune(Im a Sox fan mind you) because his garbage made my blood boil. I read the sports section online and see his headline, then i read you guys. The level of journalism is much higher here. Well, some of it is anyway. Sometimes I go back and check his waste of newsprint out afterwards, but not very often.
Urlacher definitely belongs in the MVP conversation though.
And Colston is probably in the lead, but Mark Anderson is absolutely a contender for rookie of the year.
Dolphins next week. Can they derail the Bears push for perfection yet again? Id put them on the list for possible Ls with the Giants, Rams, Patriots, and even Green Bay to close the year out. Favre at Soldier Field to end his career is scary. If you dont think so, youre new to the bandwagon.
GO BEARS

Jamel, you are a hypocrite.

You previously ripped on Tyrone for spewing forth 3 page comments, and yet you did the exact same thing today, going on a paragraph-by-paragraph dissection.  You stole it all, damn you.

I wanted to rip on Jay’s “whiteness” comment near the beginning of his column, but you had to already talk about it.  You are a true bastard.

But seriously, Jay is racist.  He always has to insert the race card.  He’s basically saying the the Hype-Machine is on overdrive because Urlacher’s white.  So you’re saying there was no crazy Hype-Machine for Donovan McNabb?  T.O.?  You stupid idiot.

Again, thanks Jamel, you transexual.
