http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=141101&src=152 is the article

 

http://www.firejoemorgan.com/2008/02/painting-by-numbers.html is the FJM piece

 

They are more or less ripping on Theriot's quote more than Bruce's writing.

Well, when you have to write an article on Theriot...is there really any other direction you could possibly take with the article aside from "Theriot is extremely mediocre"? Doing that won't grant you many more player interviews. In fact, I think Bruce did write "Theriot is extremely mediocre" in the nicest possible way. FJM could have picked something a little better to nit-pick than this one. Don't let em get ya down Bruce!

Not a chance I'll let 'em get to me. I simply went to Theriot and told him what the numbers said and asked for his response. People don't see the interview process, but I hit him with stuff he didn't like. And unlike some of those people who like to analyze other people's work, my name goes on what I do. And I show up to face the people I write about.

This is like being torn between two parents. Can I just say that I love you both and hope you won't make me play favorites? Or is this coming to come up during the divorce proceedings?

Wish I could tell you but I'm dealing with a phantom writer over there. When he or she puts his or her name on what he or she "analyzes," I'll have a better idea.

To be fair to Ken Tremendous, he did come out and reveal who he and the rest of their writers are about two weeks ago, even if he doesn't put his real name on every article like he should. Ken's shtick can only work on the internets right now, and he knows it.

 

"Ken Tremendous (Michael Schur), Junior (Alan Yang), and dak (Dave King) are all TV writers. We live in Los Angeles, in places other than our mothers' basements.

Mose Schrute is Michael Schur who is one of the top writers for The Office.

I had to google that to see who the heck that was. I've only seen the first two seasons of The Office, so I didn't know. But yes, the internets say you are also correct.

Not a phantom writer. He's a writer and co-producer of NBC's The Office. He also used to write for Saturday Night Live.

hate to be the one to break this to you, but, despite the documentary feel of the show, the office isn't real.

[brint]

And despite the documentary feel of the show, the show doesn't feel like a documentary.

Didnt know any of that until today. Didn't see it until it was linked here. Don't really have a problem with it, but one still should put one's name on what one writes _ all the time.

So, it's okay for you to use a screen name for internet ramblings that hundreds of people read because your name is easily out there, but it's not okay for Michael Schur to use a screen name for internet ramblings that hundreds of people read, even though his name is easily out there?
