It's an impossible cycle! Even this comment contributes to his fame!! Jay wins yet again!!!

you mean he actually likes Woody Paige?

You really don't need words for Jays page, just the photo above speaks volumes.

Fuck that guy.

So Ozzie Guillen ACTUALLY raped him in the shower?

I read about the creatio of wikipedia yesterday in that Thomas Friedman book "The World is Flat." Apparently wikipedia takes people's entries that are extreme to the left and right and figures out the neutral territory.

Unfortunatley for Jay, there is nobody that likes him enough to counter the negativity.

But it's not a popularity contest, right Jay?

"random Article" on wikipedia distracts me from doing actual work almost as much as Deadspin does.

The healthiest thing we can do is just ignore Jay and pretend he doesn't exist.

Just like we do with the squid.

"And if we had to do without an article about this guy for a year or more, it is no big loss. "

And if we had to do without an article BY the guy for a year or more, it is a big win.

hell 2 da naw,
TSY

I wonder what a Geno Mariotti wikipedia entry would look like.......

This whole post is just an excuse to run that picture again...

Take a look at Rick Telander's entry.

Or, since someone will no doubt edit it out:

Rick Telander is a hack sports columnist with the Chicago Sun-Times and occasional contributor to Sports Illustrated.

Why am I not surprised. I mean with all the free time Jay has by not actually doing his job, can we really be surprised that this is how he spends his day?

Will, I'd be expecting a very long email tonight that states the obvious and uses quotes pieced together from a variety of other stories.

Looks like some Fudgems melted on Mariotti's head in that pic.

Holy Shit, that's hilarious. Maybe Jay took to writing Wikipedia entries for all his friends during his "vacation."

You do not come into Wikipedia talking trash!

Jimbo Wales? That can't be his real name. He must have gotten that from the Ron Mexico alias generator.

Rick Telander is a hack sports columnist with the Chicago Sun-Times and occasional contributor to Sports Illustrated.

I'd bet $20 that Mariotti wrote that entry.

That picture gives me night terrors.

Except, you know, Jay....all that stuff about you is true.

Is this Wikipedia an "underground" internet site? Jay may be finished on ESPN.

I think the mere fact that Jay Mariotti has a wikipedia entry should be proof that judgement day will soon be upon us.

and I am willing to be $50 that the douchetard created the page himself then vandalized the page. Just so he would have people talk about him again so he can keep becoming more famous. What an ass.

You know it is a little known fact that jay "douchefucker" mariotti used to be a member of the village people

They got rid of him the way the beatles dismissed Clarence

Because no one has said it yet - fucktard.

Mariotti was just on Outside the Lines and I swear to god he was wearing green eye shadow

Judging from the photo, Mariotti apparently has to return some videotapes. Then a lunch date with Cliff Huxtable at the Four Seasons. The one downtown.

For some reason I can just see Mitch Albom, hand comforting Jay over a non-fat double-shot latte

God, Jay, you're so fucking famous. How do I deal with it??

Just shut up you disgusting little smurf. I hope I see you in a bar one day.

It's actually "J. Mariotti" and the "J" stands for "Jerkwheat." Whenever I watch Around the Horn I feel dumberer.

I googled Jay Mariotti on the internets, and at least three of the top 10 results were for Jay is a Joke.

Will Mariotti now send a strongly worded letter to Google asking them to rejigger their search engine?

Mariotti was just on Outside the Lines and I swear to god he was wearing green eye shadow

Large, everybody knows that green eye shadows makes the brown in your eyes pop!

Clicking on the Jay Mariotti tag provides just as many punchlines, if not more, than clicking on the Miami Hurricanes tag (thought the Buzzsaw probably take the cake).

SOY latte, Sheepblog. Soy latte.

(Great, now I want an orange mocha frappucino and have WHAM! in my head. Damn you, Marriotty!)

"How do I know this?

I'm Jay's father."

I love that he thought this was an effective punchline. As if someone would read all those thoughts about the nature of sports journalism and home-city objectivity and say to themselves, "This guy is wise. How could he possibly know so much?"

And then the answer comes: "How do I know this? I'm Jay's father."

Hair: Absolutely gorgeous
Face: Rock creature from The Neverending Story

nice eye makeup on mariotti right now on Around the Horn

Jay Mariotti's dad is a butler?

Metschick, is that still true when you apply said eye shadow with a paint brush, Dee Snider style?

I'm glad i couldn't read when Mariotti AND Paige were at the Denver Post, Woody is bad enough now that he's back.

Which would you all rather have?

1. Hanta virus

or

2. Lunch with Mariotti?

Discuss.

Blackaces:
Can I choose Door #3: HELL 2 DA NAW!!

Blackes,

Regarding Point 2: a) who's paying for the lunch, and b) do I have Stat Boy's mute button?

Blackaces- so I can give an informed answer, does Hanta kill you quickly or slowly?

Blackaces

Blackaces:

Unfortunately, #2 leads to #1. So choose #1

They got rid of him the way the beatles dismissed Clarence

"Hey Paul, let's get rid of Clarence and steal all his good ideas."

I love that Jay the Joke comes from, in part, the son of Chicago radio legend Steve Dahl (probably most famous outside of the city for being one of those behind the infamous Disco Demolition Night). Steve's never shied away from making fun of someone either.

is that still true when you apply said eye shadow with a paint brush, Dee Snider style?

No. He doesn't know how to apply his makeup. But this just proves that not all gays are stylish.

Telander and Maryotti were fighting in the PB? (press box)Gotta take the elevator up to the PB and teach the kids, no one comes into the PB and pushes Mary around. HELL 2 DA NAW!

Do you know why California has AIDS and Chicago has Jay Mariotti?

California had first choice.

Ozzie Guillen reviewed Mariotti's wikipedia entry and called it "a piece of shit." He also questioned the website's sexuality.

Hantavirus, aka Korean hemorrhagic fever, has an incubation period of 2-4 weeks, so...

All this talk about one crappy writer with a Wikipedia entry got me thinking...Does Skip Bayless have a Wikipedia entry? He does, and I am amazed the "Critcism" section is that short. Also, who knew his brother is a well-known chef?

Bart: Who is that muppet made out of leather?
Marge: Its Skip Bayless

Harold Reynolds just got thrown out of a Chicago night club for grinding against Mariotti while the latter was engaged in a rousing game of pin-ball. Mariotti, who thought it was one his female "newspaper" groupies, apologized later saying, "Had I known it was Harold behind me, I would have made for the John!"

Jay Mariotti is who we thought he was! Jay Mariotti is who we thought he was!

sweet jesus I will never get used to that picture.

His name is Jimbo Wales? That is fantastic.
It's amazing to me that ESPN hires assholes like Mariotti, Wilbon and Bayless. All they do is yell and bitch. And make uncontentious remarks, while yelling, so they sound contentious.
Douchebags.
I hate ESPN.
