It's not a hatchet job. Schur tears apart a crappy rant Mitch Albom wrote about fantasy baseball in Parade Magazine where Albom pretty much writes "Fantasy baseball bad. Computers! Mother's basement! Fantasy fans hate real baseball." The hack is Albom, who makes crap up in his sports columns. Unless, of course, you're unaware of that Michigan State Final Four column from 2005. Albom heard in advance that MSU alum Mateen Cleaves was taking time out of his NBA schedule to watch. So, Albom wrote his Sunday game summary of Cleaves heartwarming visit on Friday night so he could sit back and watch the game on Saturday. Albom is liar. He makes stuff up. That's not journalism.

Finally, I'll take the writing of Schur, co-creator of Parks and Recreation, the best comedy on television, any day over Mitch Albom's pablum. And for more great Michael Schur writing, I'd recommend his (sadly retired) baseball blog Fire Joe Morgan: http://www.firejoemorgan.com/
