Mayo, ZIdane and more Chicago media foolishness

Chicago sportswriters can't stop writing about sportswriters. I'm not familiar with the Chicago Sun Times' Joe Cowley, but he sure comes off like an Ozzie Guillen apologist ripping Kansas City's Joe Posnanski, who said Guillen was foolish for taking Mark Redman as his token Royal.

In it Cowley writes:
"But making it open season on White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen to try to make a name for yourself is getting a little tired -- kind of like all the girls walking around with Chihuahuas in their arms and saying, "That's hot.'' "

Posnanski doesn't need to make a name for himself. He's far more respected and well known than Cowley. That crack from a guy making a weak Paris Hilton reference?

Of course the only target the Chicago media prefers to Guillen is each other. So Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune fires a shot back at Cowley.

The LA Daily News' Kevin Modesti is worried about the OJ Mayo era at USC.
