Under that rubric, Fire Joe Morgan is a gold-shitting kajillionaire of success.

Fire Joe Morgan: The Exit Interview
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."

Fire Joe Morgan Takes a Bow
It's a dark day in the sports blogosphere as one of its most hilarious, intelligent and entertaining participants is logging off for good.

There are plenty of fitting tributes online today and we'll have an interview with the crew Monday as soon as their done reorienting themselves to a world without Movable Type.

InteractiveGangbang.com Is Surprisingly Esoteric
Thanks to one generous blog reader those looking for some personalized pornography will now be redirected to Fire Joe Morgan. And why would the anonymous party do such a thing? Why to mock Buzz Bissinger of course. More » -

One Of Our Favorite Sports Bloggers Is ... Mose Schrute?!
As some of you might know by now, the gents at Fire Joe Morgan came out of the anonymous blogging closet yesterday and revealed themselves to be: Ken Tremendous (Michael Schur), Junior (Alan Yang), and dak (Dave King).

How FJM Ended Up In SI
If you're one of those people left who regularly reads Sports Illustrated, you might have noticed an unusual byline in the "Scorecard" section this week: Ken Tremendous. That's a fake name, representing an anonymous blog. One of the best, actually: The great Fire Joe Morgan. How did this happen? More » -

Gotcha!
We have been giggling all morning at Marlins third baseman Mike Lowell's successful execution of the hidden-ball trick last night; it's our favorite play in sports. We're hardly alone either. The great archivists at Retrosheet has a collection of all the great hidden-ball tricks of the past. And leave it to the malcontents at Fire Joe Morgan to point out that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was nailed by the hidden ball trick three times. More » -
