Sun Times sinks to a new low

No wonder why he Sun Times is going bankrupt with the crappy columnists they hire, Slezak, Marriotti and Telander they all suck.

Guillen was dead on when he called marriotti a   f  a g  (how long till CBS deletes this post?) Slezak is a raging bi tch who simply likes to rant, and im fairly confident Telander and Couch are AT LEAST 83% retarded.

sorry let me try that again....

The occasional fresh story or perspective would also be nice.

I understand You want to bash anybody that says a negative about your team, But I only ask reporters to report the news and not create the news. I also ask that players are accountable for their actions and not given a free ride because they are a supposed to be professional men and not little boys. I say this about my Cubbies as well as all the other players in MLB as well as other sports.

Reporters don't report news they are looking to create hype to sell papers or build ratings. Their job is to report it?  The Sox Players took a chance and it got reported. I am probably more irked at Ozzy language and the Cubs celebration on the anniversary of Lee Elia tirade more than the Blowup Doll thing. Baseball in a Billion dollar corporation that gets a free ticket to violate the FCC, numerous harrasment laws and the only excuse is boys will be boys?

The players and management  are paid as professionals and should act as professionals.  The players continually put themselves above the law and the same excuse is used over and over. The players eventually think that they literally can get away with anything. Then, when a reporter does report the incident, fans support the player better than they would their own family. I also realize that the majority of players are professionals and promote themselves as role models. It is not like the Sox players don't do good, it is just that like the Tank Johnsons, Sammy Sosas, it is just that whenever they do something good, it seems like something bad is about to be found out.. I also usually give the benefit of doubt, like with Cedric Benson.

The truth of the matter is it happened and the same reporters who will say a football player should not go out on a boat over the weekend with a few friends and have a few beers, is the same to say boys will be boys. .  All these guys are Professional men not boys.  The Sox were wrong, Yes. The reporters reported the incident Yes. Should it have been front page, NO. Did the players think about taking it down or did they treat it like a sexist joke first? The media usually protects these highly paid professionals so often, that everything about athletes is about excuses. When it gets out, fans say it isn't so because they don't believe it. Then you have the same media, when they don't like the player or his abilities to blame the player by piling on like Jay Moron-etti saying the player should not put himself in an awkward position after a player is arrested? Of Course he has opinionated many times the Bears should Dump Cedric. My opinion is the Bears should keep him (his rights at least)  thru the trial, and make a professional decision by the outcome and his performance.

By the way, way to go to the Sox players going pink for Mothers Day. It is about time positive news was reported on the players. And Yes I did watch the final innings of Gavin's gem. Came close, and Swisher never gave up trying.

"Reporters don't report news they are looking to create hype to sell papers or build ratings. Their job is to report it?  The Sox Players took a chance and it got reported."

Yes, it got reported. A blurb in both the Trib and Suntimes. Then Slezak writes her piece, which is opinion, not fact, and it blows up the incident. And again...SHE WAS NOT THERE! NO WOMEN WERE!

"Baseball in a Billion dollar corporation that gets a free ticket to violate the FCC, numerous harrasment laws and the only excuse is boys will be boys? "

The players/coaches aren't violating the FCC because they are not the one's on the radio/TV. It is the media who is covering them hoping to get a juicy nugget so they can broadcast it. And who did they harrass that was in the clubhouse, please give me the womans name.

"The players continually put themselves above the law and the same excuse is used over and over. The players eventually think that they literally can get away with anything."

You are clearly lumping all pro atheletes together and equating Benson wrestling with cops and getting arrested to someone putting a blowup doll in their own private space. We are talking about the Blow up doll incident and how the media blew this out of proportion.

 Then, when a reporter does report the incident, fans support the player better than they would their own family. I also realize that the majority of players are professionals and promote themselves as role models."

I have to disagree, players do not promote themselves as role models. The media does, and most of them understand this. But a small % can not handle it and do stupid stuff.

This was nothing more than a hypocricy and horrible journalism by the Suntimes. Why don't you look at the Suntimes sports section and see if you can pick out the Hypocricy between the front page story and the sports section. Better yet, Mike Downey has already done that:

With that thought process in mind, the Twins television analyst and legendary hurler spoke up on behalf of the White Sox during an interview Wednesday on ESPN 1000's Waddle and Silvy radio show in Chicago, with hosts Tom Waddle and Marc Sil
