    I'm with some other people. The guy's writing really didn't do it for me. His style usually seems to be all over the map.

    Hey, those are fine names, although I don't see any Fenians in the backgrounds of either Mom or Dad.

    One thing I'm hearing is that he walked away rather than be reassigned to SI.com. Don't have confirmation, though.

    It's one thing to criticize a writer, there's nothing wrong with that. My problem is that a lot of people here rip EVERY popular writer. When you just sit back and pick apart the most popular writers in your own profession, it looks more like jealousy.

    I have a problem with making fun of his kids, actually. No need for that.

    Everybody on here could learn something about storytelling from American Idol. As for the talent... now that Jennifer Hudson's been nominated for an Oscar, it's just not the best analogy anymore...

    Well, then who's Simon Cowell? Mariotti, maybe?

    I think the popularity of "Friends" is more an indicator of falling standards.
