When he quit the Sun-Times, you would not believe the way the other writers (not just sportswriters, just writers) piled on the guy in the newspaper. While there is bound to be some bad blood when a guy quits, the palpable disdain for him was incredible. IIRC one writer recounted a time where Jay threatened him with violence over some column. When a person's co-workers of several years are chomping at the bit to publicly ridicule him, that says a lot about the type of person he is IMO.
