Ozzie's gone Fall out from the news yesterday Cowley in studio at 10 Laurence with his thoughts I'm almost certain that Burbank Steve will be calling in with some sort of nonsense Also, Chico is going to be on in a bit to preview Bears/Bovifs Finally, here's a contribution from Doug - EP on the MacSpiegs FB page this morning (sung to the tune of 12 days of X-Mas in Tony Montana voice): Doug wrote: ...2005 Four games under Three F Bombs Two Division Titles And a Plane Ticket to Miami Better than anything Mac could write |

Mac will remember Ozzie more for the last 2 years rather than the World Series. PTFB. |

Ozzie is 'remembered' NOW for the last 2 years more than anything. Its a fresh wound. When its all said and done, the last 2 years will be mentioned, but his legacy will be helping to bring a World Series to Chicago for the first time in almost 200 baseball seasons (between the Sox and Cubs). |

One of them probably has it up right now. |

I'd hope so, but I don't believe that. |

Thanks, Matt, for confirming the true reason why sports writers/yackers continued to pimp Ozzie nonsense as though it was entertaining for 8 years: pure laziness. |

With Cowley up next, do we get another radio fight or will it be calm. |

Not really, Cowley did say he hoped people thought of him more than that, did put the blame on Kenny during it, saying with Ozzie that he tells the truth and this is what you would expect from him and you wouldn't expect any of this from Kenny and that's why Kenny is wrong. The only person that Cowley got mad with was a caller you called him a disgrace to the business and went back to the Magglio Ordonez stuff, Rodney I think his name was. |

Cowley wrote today that he thought Ozzie was honest. I was thinking that was a better way of phrasing it than writing that he told the truth. Saying what you think has nothing to do with speaking truth. |

Cowley is a disgrace to the business, though. His lamprey-like attachment to Ozzie shows that his primary commitment as a journalist is not to his paper, his audience, or the truth, but to his self-preservation as a worker at a dying newspaper in a dying newspaper business. It should be plain as day to anyone that his sickening one-sidedness is an attempt to parlay his writing career into a ghostwriting gig or some kind of public relations job for when the Sun-Times ship sinks. That's all I think when I read his verbal handjobs. |

The paper should fire his dumb ass. |

That's all I think when I read his verbal handjobs. I don't know that THAT'S a crime. Lots of guys in the past few years have been positioning themselves for radio/permanent "(team) expert" gigs. I'm not sure how well newspapers' attempts at becoming subscription-based web sites are going to work. That being said, Cowley was a part of the Ozzie media team, in much the same way as his son's Twitter accounts were. |

Of course other newspapermen are setting themselves up for other gigs. I can't blame them. But is it ever so transparent with others as it is with Cowley? Jay Mariotti is another person who was at all times angling for work outside the Sun-Times, but I never got the same impression of craven ingratiation from a Mariotti column. |
