NQTC has a sort of love for Jay Mariotti.  And by love I mean we hate the guy.  There is no bigger douchebag in all of sports media (I guess that’s arguable, but as a Chicagoan Jay pretty much takes the cake).  We make a special effort to cover anything that mocks Mariotti, as you may have noticed from our regular posts glorifying comments that degrade him on his AOL Fanhouse column.  In fact, it’s not a secret that Jay isn’t well-loved by most of the world.  In general I would say that most people would probably punch him in the face if they were given the chance.  I know I definitely would. 

Well Chicagoans, I have some good news: You can punch him in the face!  Or at least heckle him in person from behind some sort of thick protective glass.  That’s right, last week our old pal Jay started taping his Around The Horn segments from ESPNZone in River North:

This week, the controversial sportswriter began taping his daily ATH segements from ESPNZone in River North. Fans (he’s gotta have a couple, right?) and hecklers can check out Mariotti at work each weekday starting at noon. At least ESPN has enough sense to keep him locked safely behind glass.

Noon, huh?  If I race out of work and head over to River North, I can tell him how shitty a human being he is and still make it back to school in time for class.  I hope to see you all there.

I don’t see how this can end well.
