Chicago Sun-Times Blasts Jay Mariotti Upon His Departure

The Sun-Times Sure Seems To Miss Mariotti
8/28/08
As most of you know, longtime hated sports columnist Jay Mariotti resigned from the Chicago Sun-Times yesterday. Some people were wondering how the paper would react. Well, today you have your answer.
They can barely contain their glee, by which I mean they can't contain it at all.
According to Deadspin, Pete Gaines (the current ombudsman at Jalopnik) sent an email yesterday to Sun-Times Editor In Chief Michael Cooke:
Sir:
I wish to inform you that due to recent developments on the Jay Mariotti front, I will now read your newspaper. In fact, I picked one up on the way to work this morning. Not a half-bad rag, I must say. Bully on you.
Regards,
Pete Gaines
Here was Cooke's response.
Every cloud has silver lining .. and this one is golden.
THANK YOU !
As you can see, the Sun-Times didn't even keep Gaines' email quiet. Instead, they announced it to the world - with a picture of Gaines, to boot - on the front page.Normally, I'd say this isn't very classy. But since this involved Mariotti, it's hilarious beyond belief.
Bully on you indeed, Sun-Times.
