Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist resigns
August 27, 2008 10:38 AM

CHICAGO
Longtime Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist Jay Mariotti has resigned "to pursue other opportunities," the paper says.



Mariotti joined the Sun-Times in 1991 and has been a regular panelist on ESPN, the Sun-Times said in a post Tuesday evening on its Web site in which it called for Chicago Sports fans' take on his departure. Hundreds have responded.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Mariotti, whom it called "controversial," says he quit because the future of sports journalism "sadly is not in newspapers" but online.

Mariotti made headlines in 2006 when Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen launched a profanity-laced tirade against him before a game against St. Louis. Guillen later apologized.
