[NU Sports] Moron-etty quits the Sun Times

[Jonathan Hodges]

Even though he threw newspapers under the bus and claimed that everything
new is on the web, I sincerely doubt those are the only motivations behind
his resignation.  I would bet that he has a gig as either a national level
columnist, or, more likely, a sports radio host lined up already.  Remember
that WSCR lost their premier host, North, earlier in the year.  And he will
apparently keep his spot on ESPN's Around the Horn.  I also wouldn't be
surprised if the feud against his fellow S-T sports journalists earlier in
the year had something to do with this departure.  I imagine that it will
make more sense shortly, although S-T readers may have a little more upbeat
start to their mornings now.
