Goodbye, FJM

This little piece of news has been out in the blogs over the last few days, but I couldn't find a tie-in to post about it here...like that's ever stopped me. But, through The Daily Drink and a pointer to Deadspin, I've found one.

Fire Joe Morgan, an hilarious blog, is ending it's run.

Deadspin did a best of FJM post and this little gem fits in with that letter we received at Rattler World HQ. The original source material is a post called 12 Minutes of Hell with Colin Cowherd

Let's play a nerd-game, Colin. Which is to say, let's "think" with our "brains." What if Horace Grant retired, and then didn't make it into the HOF, and then revealed, in a tell-all book and several appearances on like "I'm a Celebrity, Get me Out of Here!" and the like, that he, Horace, was a huge meth dealer in the NBA for 17 years and that the NBA has a massive meth problem. I just don't think that he would be inducted into the Basketball HOF. CC has two arguments — Canseco is famous so he should be in, and anyone who dominates or is "relevant" should be in. Ironically, he then says "infamous is infamous," which only serves to remind us that what Canseco is, in fact, in retrospect, is "infamous." Which is why his "fame" is not exactly what the HOF is looking for in terms of permanent membership.

Go read that whole post at FJM to get the full flavor.
