If you don’t read the Sun-Times<\/em> regularly, you might not have heard that sports columnist, frequent headline and White Sox arch-rival Jay Mariotti has gone “24\/7″ with his new blog<\/a> over at Sun-Times.com. While Hawk and DJ have (allegedly) been at this<\/a> some time – one wonders if the frequent posting was even Hawkeroo’s idea, let alone his work, let alone how to handle the Sox’ broadcasts being divided up among three different TV stations – it’ll be interesting to see if the two will let their long-running and highly entertaining feud spill over into the digital arena.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting there’s also a good chance that adopting the additional format was probably not Mariotti’s idea, either. The Sun-Times News Group has been walking a fine line between adopting new technologies and gee-whiz gimmickry for some time to some degree of success, and if a slow slimming\/phasing out of the print edition is really underway this seems like a logical step.
\nKeep in mind this is also the same Mariotti who said on the February 8, 2007 airing of ESPN’s “Around the Horn” that blogging in and of itself was a medium for unfounded and excessively negative ideas spewed forth by uninformed “vampires” chained to their computers.<\/p>\n

For sake of comparison, here are the last three items credited to each of Hawk and Mariotti:<\/p>\n
