LOL at Mariotti


Recommended Posts

He actually had a decent column yesterday. It seems he's always been in love with Farve.

 

I read the whole story in the papers last week. Here's the highlights:

1-Mariotti claimed great ratings. Station manager said they were OK.

Essentially anything was better than Rome's syndicated national show.

They will replace Mariotti's show with locals.

 

2-Mariotti always left 45 min & finished the show with a taping he made earlier. This was to accomodate Around the Horn. This pissed just about everybody off at both the local & national levels.

 

3-The station mgr is convinced that a full live local broadcast will beat Mariotti's ratings. They are eager to get started.

Mac, Jurko, and Harry talked about King Douche a little today. Basically when Assface left management told them not to talk about it (That day it was Harry with Mac and Jurko's brothers).

 

Today they talked about it a little, seems like they were probably told to watch what they say. You can tell Mac is very happy he's gone, basically said he was in San Diego when he heard the news and had a celebratory drink. Then Mac took some more time to rip on Kornheiser (sp?). Those two hate each other, and Mac can't let it go.

I didnt take his comment exactly like that. I took it more like he was so indifferant that Jay was gone that he just kept on doin what he was doin. But both interpertation have the smae meaning behind it, he could care less that Jay is gone.

Why does Mac hate Kornheiser, I guess I missed that.

Would someone mind giving me a quick summary of what happened with Mariotti?  3 sentences or less will do just fine  :)

 

 

Mgmt said to tone down smack talk on Sox and Bulls.

He said, I'm not changing for anybody because I have principles.

Mgmt laughs, says, you suck and moves on.

I believe ESPN 1000 later said they never told him anything.

Basically the guy who hired him left and he had no supporters at the station.

But I don't care the end result makes me happy, hopefully sun-times will follow suit!

I wonder if he is trying to get a full time at ESPN like Woody Paige did?
