    lol - well if the guy is BBWAA then i guess he is a professional.
    hard to believe !

    i didnt see any advertising on the page so i did presume that it was just some bonehead interested in self-glorification. The writing style could be compared to a cross between ring around the rosey and naked lunch.

    actually , regardless of the BBWAA thing , i still feel that sentiment to be true.

    its kinda like the way AOL presents the "news".
    more often then not the intent is to generate "responses"
    and is designed to illicit reaction. not to inform , not to provoke thought.
    merely to provoke.

    That's one thing about FJM. They rarely, if ever, go after non-professional writers, like your average blogger. I can't recall any time where they critiqued something written by an amateur. They only critique professional sportswriters.

    No. The guys at FJM are professional writers, but they aren't professional sportswriters. They write for television (Ken Tremendous is one of the writers for The Office, and has appeared in a couple episodes).

    As far as I know, no.
