This IMO is the real danger of "negative" writers like bayless and moronatti, that constanyly bash players and teams , with out real justification many times,.. they repeat it enough, it starts gaining traction, and its a shame

I wish I lived up in Chicago sometimes because I never get to read the bullshit that is written in the papers up there. I know about Jay Mariotti only from his appearences on ESPN. It's a sad travesty that reporters in a player's hometown can prevent that player's entry into the HOF, if that indeed is true.
