Media Approval Ratings: Jay Mariotti

Of all the Jay Mariotti moments we've chronicled around these parts, our favorite was when he complained to Wikipedia about all those negative words about his page. He is a very sensitive boy. More »

Jay Mariotti Remains A Very Delicate Boy

You might remember back when Jay Mariotti, deeply hurt by critical remarks on Wikipedia, asking the site to take down those mean, mean words. You might have thought he had grown a thicker skin since then. You'd be wrong. More »

Jay Mariotti Is Moved (Again)

One of our all-time favorite Deadspin posts was pointing out the ridiculous platitudes shelled out by sports columns in the days after September 11. (We were not immune from this ourselves.) One of those columnists was Jay Mariotti, whose signature schtick doesn't lend itself well to tragedy. Fortunately, he can just recycle what he did before. More »

Jay Mariotti really does like him some Mark Cuban, doesn't he? [Jay The Joke]

Jay Mariotti reads sports blogs! Well, sort of. He reads a sports blog. That "AOL.com one." Baby steps, Jay. [Z89 Blog]

Jay Mariotti will give you a wakeup call, Cubs fans. It's your lucky day. [Chicago Sun-Times]

Hey, Jay: You're A Blogger Now

We, the sports fan, are lost amidst the sea of scandalous sports news. We need someone to guide us ... and not just four times a week either! We need immediate, dashed off, from-the-hip, poorly thought out reactionary prattle on the double. And we need it five times a day. Where, friends, do we look in this time of crisis? More »

September 11: Perspectives From Bayless, Mariotti And Paige

It's the six-year anniversary of September 11 today, and we're not gonna make a huge thing about it, because everyone should grieve / remember in their own personal way. To commemorate the occasion, though, we thought it might be fun to step in the way back machine and see how three of our great political minds reacted to the situation in print at the time: Woody Paige, Jay Mariotti and Skip Bayless. Come with us. More »

Jay Mariotti Is Devoted To The Art Of Prose

So the other night, in a dark cold lonely room, Jay Mariotti sat alone, doing a little math. He realized that he was required to deliver a certain number of columns by the end of April and, lo, he had already put together the requisite amount. Therefore, even though the next three months include the NCAA tournament, the NFL Draft, the Masters and Opening Day ... Jay's gonna take the next few months off. More »

Jay Mariotti Can't Figure Out Why Everyone's So NEGATIVE

We enjoyed the countless emails we received yesterday informing us that "Around The Horn" host Tony Reali — an affable fellow whom we imagine being ultra intense about rec league softball, for some reason — yelled out "don't take my Deadspin away from me" at the end of the program yesterday. (Shockingly, we didn't watch the show. Really!) But we actually enjoyed more Jay Mariotti's rant that led to the comment. Basically, Mariotti was saying that athletes blogging from the Olympic Village next year is a terrible thing because, apparently, the mere act of blogging will turn them into vampires out to suck the soul of an unsuspecting populace.

Jay Mariotti Was On To Lovie Smith From The Beginning

We haven't made fun of Jay Mariotti for a while, so it's probably time. Good to shake off the rust sometimes. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Jay Mariotti Vs. Harold Reynolds

sportshuman.jpgWe return to the SHOTY Tournament, with the final two quarterfinal matchups, today and Thursday. Of all the Elite Eight matchups, we think this might end up the closest. (The first two have been runaways, though you can still vote.) First, a reminder of the bracket. More »

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Jay Mariotti Vs. Darren Daulton

sportshuman.jpgAfter nearly a week off, the Deadspin SHOTY Tournament kicks back up today — just three more first-round matchups left — with a guy who seemingly shows up every week around these parts, if just to make himself more famous, against a former Philadelphia hero who has only made Deadspin once, but in a rather glorious way.

Jay Mariotti Might Be Somewhat Sensitive To Criticism

We have a lot of respect for the folks at Wikipedia. It's an immeasurably valuable resource that we use every single day. And we can't imagine it's easy dealing with what's certainly their biggest headache: People logging onto their site just to post random crap and mess with the entries. You know, message board trolls, bored teenagers ... and oh yeah, Jay Mariotti! More »

You Need Jay Mariotti On That Wall

mariottiisbackbaby.jpgYou see, the thing is, folks, Jay Mariotti is not a puffy blowhard who screams schtick into a camera and then types full-throated, half-conceptualized ripjob columns as fast as possible while complaining that Ozzie Guillen mock raped him in the shower (or something) ... that's all just an anti-Mariotti campaign to distract you from the TRUTH, man!
