The Jay Mariotti breakup

By Geoff Dougherty | Aug 28, 12:44 PM

Breaking up is hard to do. Especially when one of you is a blowhard sports columnist and the other is a flailing newspaper.

But the Sun-Times amazed me the other day by covering the departure of its biggest star with a three-line news brief.

Oprah's pedicures get more coverage than this.

Meanwhile, the Trib manages to provide full coverage, but tops it with a headline that mispells 'columnist.'

Some days are better than other in the news biz, I guess.
