* Sam Smith vs. Jay Mariotti:
There was a huge outrage at the time, though mostly from people who didn’t read the book. Jay Mariotti from the Sun-Times got hysterical about it at the time and wrote a bunch of columns about how it would ruin the Bulls. He, too, apparently didn’t read it for quite as while as he had a bunch of stuff in there that wasn’t. It tells you a lot about the media we don’t like to admit. Then the Boston Globe, which was a respected, profitable paper, had a columnist pick up from Mariotti’s comments about things in the book which weren’t and condemned me for writing it. I’m trying to tell everyone the stuff wasn’t in there and I never wrote it.
