[NU Sports] Mariotti web site

[Joe Thiegs]

No, Ozzie bought "jaythe[something you can get in trouble for calling
someone].com".  :) Honestly, I had heard snippets about a Guillen-Mariotti
feud over the past few days but never heard what started it.  I did a little
research today and found out.  Two interesting points I noticed from the
blog entries (deadspin.com and jaythejoke.com):

1)  It seems that most of the public hatred is being directed at Mariotti,
when he was the target of Ozzie's outburst.  People don't seem to be as
riled up about what Ozzie said as I might expect.

2)  Here's an excerpt from a Phil Arvia column in the Daily Southtown:

"In the span of 102 seconds, Guillen leveled 25 words one generally cannot
read in a family newspaper at the Sun-Times' Jay Mariotti.

For those scoring at home, there were 14 variations of the f-word, five
s-words, three a-words, a b-word, a G.D. and the straw that broke the
camel's back, a three-letter reference either to Mariotti's sexuality or
British slang for a cigarette."

Is no one complaining about the other 24 vulgarities?

Because the White Sox are the natural enemies of both my AL team (the Twins)
and my NL team (the Cubs), of course it follows that they are my least
favorite team and I root hard for them to lose all of the time--the single
exception being in last season's World Series, in which I wanted them to
uphold the honor of the AL Central--and Guillen as manager makes it that
much easier.  FWIW, one of my four-year-old son's favorite playmates
(probably his favorite) is the four-year-old son of one of our best NU
friends (my wife's former apartment-mate and sorority sister) and her
husband.  Both parents grew up in a town southwest of Chicago, and live in
that vicinity now, so unfortunately we only get to see them a couple of
times a year.  They came to visit us for a long weekend last month, and my
son's friend showed up wearing *gasp* a White Sox cap.  I still let my son
play with him, though, and allowed their family to stay at our home anyway,
despite some personal discomfort (he did take the hat off inside the house).
Just to let you know how magnanimous I can be.  ;)

Did Ozzie Guillen buy the domain name?
