Morning Tweet: Mose Schrute knows his World Cup soccer (and mathematical ratios)

Many of you might be confused concerning the reference to Mose Schrute in the above title, but if you did a little digging, it would become readily apparent. But since I’m a nice guy, I’ll do the leg work for you: Ken Tremendous is the pseudonym for Michael Schur who is best known in the blogosphere for his work on the groundbreaking sports media critiquing site, Fire Joe Morgan. And if that wasn’t enough, Schur is also well-known around comedy circles as a brilliant writer of several episodes of The Office, in which he also portrayed Dwight Schrute’s less-than-civilized cousin, Mose. Schur has moved on to develop the very entertaining and continuously improving Parks & Recreation, so here is at least one example where someone who worked on a sports blogged actually accomplished something with his life.

Simple as that.
“Yeah, I have a question. Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?”

ABOUT LAST NIGHT…
What you missed while missed while craving a Snickers and saying “Great googly moogly” after misspelling city’s name on their water tower…
* Graeme McDowell? Who? Sure the golfer from Northern Ireland is currently in the lead, but Philly Dog is lurking, ready to make a charge.
* Rebounding after a shaky first round, the ageless one, Tom Watson, fired a 71 on Friday for a seven-over after two rounds, not great, but good enough to make the cut.
* Worst. Idea. Ever. At today’s Marlins game at Sun Life Stadium, vuvuzelas will be handed out to the first 15,000 fans. Jeepers creepers.
* The Onion Headline of the Day: South African Vuvuzela Philharmonic Angered By Soccer Games Breaking Out During Concerts
