Fire Joe Morgan
Fire Joe Morgan was a sports journalism criticism blog which focused primarily on baseball. It was updated regularly from 2005 through 2008. Although sports commentator Joe Morgan was often criticized, the site did not target him exclusively, but rather criticized anything the writers considered to be ignorant journalism as a whole. The blog's slogan was "Where Bad Sports Journalism Comes to Die." The blog usually used a format known as fisking.
The website officially announced its discontinuation in November 2008. Although the website is no longer updated, its archives are still available at (firejoemorgan.com ). The blog had what was to be a one-day reprise on September 16, 2009, when Deadspin invited the authors to guest post.〔("The FJM Reunion" ) Deadspin.com〕 The authors guest posted again on Deadspin on September 22, 2010.
== Background ==
The website was founded by a group of friends in April 2005. Its sole purpose, according to Michael Schur, one of the founders, was to "make each other laugh."〔("The Relatively Short Goodbye" ) Firejoemorgan.com〕 The website championed the statistical analysis of baseball in the tradition of Bill James, often using sabermetrics to support its arguments. Sports writers who published works misstating the concepts of the book ''Moneyball'' were a common target.〔("I've Had It With People Who've Had It With 'Moneyball'" ) Firejoemorgan.com〕 The blog quickly grew in popularity, and was featured in an SI.com piece within its first year of existence.〔("Website takes its shots at Joe Morgan" ) Sports Illustrated (2005-10-21)〕 The site's authors initially kept their identities hidden using the pseudonyms Ken Tremendous, Junior, and Dak, but in February 2008 revealed themselves to be TV writers Michael Schur, Alan Yang, and Dave King respectively.〔("About Us" ) Firejoemorgan.com〕 The three met as staff members of the Harvard Lampoon and Schur and Yang both write for the television show ''Parks and Recreation''. As of season 4, King also works for ''Parks and Recreation''.〔()〕〔()〕 King is also a writer for Comedy Central's ''Workaholics''.〔()〕
