Little Man, Gigantic Exaggeration Of His Abilities

Ken Tremendous — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 15:45:58 EDT

When Deadspin asked us to write these articles, we went back and forth a few times on the date, and eventually settled on Sept. 22. I'd like to believe that somehow, that's because we knew, or perhaps sensed, that this article was going to be published on Sept. 20. More »

A sports blog's success is usually measured by page views or unique visitors — these odd, mysterious numbers that merely serve as advertiser bait, but are woefully inaccurate in revealing overall quality. The true measure of a successful sports blog, like most other creative endeavors done for the right reasons, is the devotion of its audience. Under that rubric, Fire Joe Morgan is a gold-shitting kajillionaire of success. More »

Fire Joe Morgan: The Exit Interview

Will Leitch — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:30:16 EST

Like many of you, my heart sank last week when I learned that Fire Joe Morgan announced they were hanging up their purple spikes after, as they put it, "21 years, and almost 40 million posts." Fire Joe Morgan was one of the reasons I got into this blogging game — and what a game it is! — and I'm sure I'm far from alone. While your tributes keep filing in, I'm proud to have had the opportunity to sit down with the FJM crew last week and talk to them about their "decision." More »
