* Jay Mariotti out at Chicago Sun-Times

August 28, 2008

Mariotti, an “the opinionated and polarizing sports columnist” who frequently made White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen the target of his antipathy, has resigned from the Sun-Times. In a city with a strong sports journalism tradition, Mariotti was regarded as one of the leading columnists and certainly the most provocative. With a style that relied on […]
