“I love the preseason. Give me more!” –Mike Tomlin, Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers Far be it for me to disagree with the youngest Head Coach to ever win a Super Bowl. The NFL Preseason is unfairly maligned. It’s a great system that eases both the players and the fans into what is by [...]
. a favorite argument by Joe Rusin Joe Says: The column below feels the most pertinent, since FaN is taking a vacation itself. The best part of the FaN vacation will definitely be when it’s back, though. From July 28, 2010 As summer passes its midpoint, many of us have been engaging in ritual summer [...]
. a blogumn by Joe Rusin Seriously. Stop. Every where I go this summer, when the conversation turns to the subject of movies, people always are whining, “There’s just nothing to see.

I say bullied because Americans by and large really don’t care about the sport of soccer. In fact, we care so [...]
. another substitute blogumn by Joe Rusin FIERCELY ANTICIPATING Nothing I’ve got nothing. Last week Ryan Dixon used his one phone call from a Georgia Correctional Facility to ring me up. He asked me to 1) bail him out and 2) cover his Fierce Anticipation column again. I refused the first (who’s got the time [...]
. a substitute blogumn by Joe Rusin This is not Ryan Dixon. Ryan is currently on a mysterious hiatus, perhaps dealing with a lawsuit filed by the recently defamed Fitzgibbon family (or recovering from a particularly nasty case of “Fitz germs”). Fear not, for he will doubtlessly return to these margins shortly. Until then (or [...]
