I don't usually read Mariotti, but yesterday I spent some time riding the "L" train so I bought a Sun-Times. Mariotti's article blasted Reinsdorf's handling of the Skiles negotiations and for being an arrogant, inflexible tyrant...sort of Darth Vader in an Armani suit.

With the stunning turnaround in the Skiles situation, I just had to read him today.

The man is a comic genius.

Today, Reinsdorf is a wimp. Not "The Chairman," but "The Pushover."

Yesterday, Skiles was the Bulls' savior and without him the team was irrevocably doomed to return to the abyss of the early post-dynasty years. Today, Skiles is a "con man" and Mariotti questions Skiles qualifications by writing, "Reinsdorf budged for Skiles, who has yet to win a playoff series? Shocking."

One thing ya gotta say for Mariotti - he's often wrong, but never in doubt.

Very funny stuff.
