Mariotti mucks up defense

Even when the Chicago Sun Times' Jay Mariotti is doing the chivalrous thing in defending the sexist jabs at Erin Andrews of ESPN, it comes off as impolite and unnecessarily mean.

Gentlemen just don't do this sort of thing.

I'm just not a big fan of calling out your colleagues in a public forum. In fact, I'm not a fan of it at all. I didn't like it when Jason Whitlock did it to Scoop Jackson and I certainly don't like it now.
