well Jay Marotti (SP) said he was at the game last night and said that if LSU played USC we would get beaten by 14 or more points. Woody Paige, the woman, and Kellerman all said that LSU was the National champions because that was the way the BCS was set up, and all the rules is rules crap we heard for a month. Marroti(sp) and Andalae(sp) from the Los Angles times all said USC was better than LSU and real national champions.
Mariotti His articles in the Sun-Times have been infuriating. He is so enamored with Saban - it's quite a crush. His article today (www.suntimes.com) is disgusting, saying that Saban should come coach where he can play in a "man's game," i.e. for the Bears. He also makes some disparaging comments about Louisiana. He was begging Angelo to hire Saban, thinking it would take 5-6 million to get him out of this state. Just the picture in the Sun-Times of him with that jerk-faced smirk is enough to make me want to smack him.
Here's the article's link: http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay05.html Desperate man, very desperate.
here's my reply to Mariotti You'll have to follow the link above to understand exactly why I said what I said in this e-mail to Jay Mariotti, but after you've read his column you'll understand: "It's your life. If you're such a dago wop that you want to live in that frozen wasteland where baseball players can't win a title, where Polish sausage is considered a delicacy, where city hall is run by a bunch of crooks, and where people are so illiterate that they can't count how many teams are in the football conference their teams are a member of, then go ahead. But all of us in Louisiana, including Nick Saban, know where life is good and we wouldn't have ONE THING you have in Chicago. If Nick Saban ever goes to the pros, it won't be in Chicago. He and his wife like the weather here too well. Miami or Atlanta or Arizona maybe. If they ever get a different owner, the Saints. But you've torn your city's drawers with us down here. "By the way, before you brand me as a Louisiana cretin--I have undergrad and professional degrees from Ivy League schools and I've lived all over the country. This is where I chose to settle. "Money isn't everything. Maybe someday someone will teach you that. Until then, I feel very very sorry for you. Lay off our coach. You can have Pete Carroll."
