2009 SHOTY Nominee: Jay Mariotti

It is this reporter's opinion that if you say "Roger Ebert can kiss my ass," you are a bad person. It's just my philosophy.

JAY MARIOTTI Began life as a blogger. Told Roger Ebert to kiss his ass. Projected. Pretended he wasn't a blogger. Wooed the ladies. Auto-summarized. Tossed from bar. Napped. Lurked.
