Quickshots: Wonder What Mariotti Would Write About This

  • The high and mighty have fallen as America's self proclaimed moral authority Jay Mariotti gets busted for hitting a woman .  Jay is sure to lose his gig at ESPN because of this. He'll obviously check into anger management, issue a contrite apology and hope people will forgive him.  If you are going to preach the way Jay does, you have to keep your nose clean.  He didn't and now he will pay the price as he wallows in obscurity. Congrats, Jay.  Everywhere you go, the Now Gang will be right on your ass.  
  • Jay isn't the only celebrity in a bit of hot water   Kids, I can't emphasize this enough.  If you want to be a celebrity you need one of two things: Some common sense or a really good legal and PR team.. (Can't Stop The Bleeding)
  • Here's an interesting thought about the great Jim Thome controversy.   If he had signed with the Red Sox and the White Sox would have played against him only seven times a year, would we even be having this conversation?  No, we would not. (Tremendous Upside Potential)
  • How 'bout them Bears.  Between dropped balls and a porous offensive line and no depth in the second half, they were beaten by Oakland last night .  If they can't beat Oakland, imagine how much fun the Vikings and Packers will have with them.  It looks like the Lovie Smith Farewell Tour may be over by October.
  • The NFL Network has agreed to join more cable systems .  The deal was brokered through the National Cable Television Cooperative.  Unfortunately for me, Time Warner isn't a member so I will continue not to be able to watch the wizardry that is Rich Eisen.
  • Proof again that in a weak economy, NASCAR is in trouble 
  •  Rick Morrissey jumps on the "Ozzie needs to zip it" bandwagon , a popular evergreen topic of writers and bloggers on a slow news days. 
  • The most interesting thing you will read about Hawk Harrelson today .  BTW, Matt Vasgersian, shame on you for the sideswipe last night on MLB.  Making fun of Hawk and Big Hurt was a little unprofessional.  Especially since Hurt has no clue what he's doing.
