Power and the Money, Money and the Power

There was an episode of "The Office" last year where Michael informed Jan that no one at the Scranton office was disgruntled, but to the contrary, everyone was extremely "gruntled".

Well, as has been written about here and here, it seems that William "LaBill" Simmons, a.ka. The Sports Guy, is less than, shall we say, "gruntled", with the World-Wide Leader in sports at the current moment.

As improbable as it seems, he is apparently writing for the moment at...wait for it, wait for it, wait....this site. Yes, that's correct. The most famous blogger/internet-centric sportswriter this side of Grantland Rice is using a Blogger-platform to, in the words of Whitman,"Sound his barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world."

This, my friends, is why I am fascinated by the internet. The playing field has completely been leveled. I have the same method of communicating with the masses as one of the most well-compensated/promoted/connected sportswriters of the current era. Someone could stumble from the Sports Guy Unplugged to Osler's Razor to No Genuine Issue of Material Fact to the Jig and Twig without even knowing which was written by the law professor, which was written by the student, and which was written by a de facto internet mogul.
