CBS' Gregg Doyel Really, Really Hates Jay Mariotti

Saturday, August 21, 2010
Posted By admin 10:06 PM

The big news in the sports world right now is that ESPN ATH panelist and AOL Fanhouse columnist Jay Mariotti was arrested on Friday night. Mariotti was charged with a felony resulting from a domestic dispute, according to the LA Times.

Tauntr will get to the oft-maligned Mariotti on Monday, for sure, though domestic violence is nothing to joke about. For now, though, I wanted to share CBS Sports' columnist Gregg Doyel's reaction to the news. Doyel, like many in the sports media industry, loathes Mariotti. As a result, he went on an epic anti-Mariotti rant on Twitter this afternoon. Honestly, he went a bit nuts. Even Mariotti's longtime nemesis, Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, is unlikely to come anywhere close to that level of hatred.

Just wow.

Quick screen shot:

Doyel's full Twitter ranting, via Mac copy and paste job:

    If Jay'd been working, he'd have the alibi of all those people who saw him in locker room, interviewing players. Oh, right. Never mind    about 4 hours ago via TweetDeck

    Only a coward hits a woman. So you can't possibly believe Mariotti would hit a woman unless you believe he's a coward. Oh, wait ...    about 4 hours ago via TweetDeck
