	Deadspin, Sports News without Access, Favor, or Discretion
		Rushin's columns are famous for finding the delectable hilarity of the similarity of the word "Johannesburger" to the world "Roethlisberger." Rushin has single-handedly brought back the pun to American sportswriting, and for that, uh...
		Rushin also proves that the best way to win a national sportswriter of the year award is never actually have an opinion, but be a big fan of jokes about Viagra and sand traps.
		Rushin's column is usually pretty skimpy, but this week's appears to be an homage to Jay Leno.

	Saint Charles Dart League: News 6/12/01 - SCDL Mentioned in Dartoid Article
		It's just that his attempt to make the point, as he put it, that "a dart is not merely rocket-shaped; it can be a rocket and generate escape velocity to break away from the gravitational pull of poverty," was pretty much lost in his obsession with the association between our sport and drinking.
		To support this claim Rushin slips in a 30-year old quote from Cliff Lazerenko, the gist of which is that for a world class darter to perform at their peak without a drink in their hand is as unlikely as expecting "Mark Spitz to set world records in two feet of water."
		The answer sheds even more light on how unfair Rushin and Sports Illustrated were to Andy Fordham, among so many others, in the feature "Beers and Shots." St. Bartholomew's is the London hospital in which Fordham's newly-born daughter was cared for when she suffered from a heart condition at birth.

		This is not to suggest that Rushin, 37, is the slug of the pairing.
		Lobo drank her soda in relative peace, but was soon seated next to Rushin at a booth near the front of the restaurant, on display for the entire Farmington Valley.
		Rushin remembered a time in church when a man shook Lobo's hand and said, "You need to get tougher on the boards." Then there was the time when they were in a restaurant and a woman approached after seeing Lobo pick up the check.

	Jeff Gordon Online Editorial- Early Spring 1999
		Rushin's columns in Sports Illustrated, like his book, are usually filled with tongue in cheek humor.
		Rushin's column was about pointing out humor; nothing more and nothing less.
		However, because Rushin's work was not familiar to a segment of race fans, the rush to condemn him was on.

	The College Hill Independent
		I CONSIDER STEVE RUSHIN'S recent Sports Illustrated article, “I Believe in B-ball,” to be the most inspiring manifesto about basketball, perhaps the most inspiring piece of sports writing ever written.
		Call me a sentimentalist, but Rushin gets it: the way your heart and brain nearly burst out of your body during a fast break, the unexplainable feeling in the pit of your stomach—you can only call it love—that forms when your team hits the game-winning free throw in overtime.
		Rushin writes that stepping onto the court is like “entering a house of worship.” The Pitz is that house of worship, these women are the gods that play there, and they are about to burn it down with play that we should believe in.

	Sports: New deal, new site for NASCAR
		Two years ago, Sports Illustrated writer Steve Rushin wrote a column about NASCAR that, understandably, wasn't taken too kindly by the sport and its fans.
		Rushin called racing fans "tattooed, shirtless, sewer-mouthed drunks and their husbands," and said TBS racing analyst Buddy Baker sounded like "Strom Thurmond, shot full of novocaine, while eating saltine crackers, during larynx surgery."
		Crashes won't be buried, driver complaints won't be silenced, and even blasphemy such as Rushin's anti-racing sentiments could show up on the site.

		The writing of Steve Rushin—who became a senior writer for Sports Illustrated at age 25, and currently writes the weekly "Air and Space" column for SI— is as well-crafted as you're likely to find anywhere in American journalism.
		In his witty travelogue Road Swing: One Fan's Journey into the Soul of American Sports, Rushin describes a dying television as "a Zenith at its nadir," and compares a golf course in the Pennsylvania hills to "a green silk tie across a rumpled bedspread." I interviewed him recently by phone.

		In the title piece, Rushin goes on a golf tour of Scandinavia, where he played at a course on which golfers cross an international border four times during a single round.
		As cars climb 235 feet up the first hill, he writes, "the angle of ascent leaves the rider in roughly the same position - and disposition - as a dental patient." Among his other subjects are hot dog-eating contests ("a man-bites-dog story") and his wife, professional basketball player Rebecca Lobo.

	Oscar Beat by Steve Pond - The Envelope
		In the current issue of Sports Illustrated, columnist Steve Rushin nicely dismantles the billion figure as it applies to the Super Bowl.
		Rushin wasn't shocked: "Seldom is truth more routinely inverted," he wrote, "than in the days leading up to the game, when a player can get an award for 'high moral character' and solicit a prostitute on the same night â” and choreographed halftime nudity is somberly attributed to a 'wardrobe malfunction.'"
		Back on the Oscars' turf, the one billion figure hasn't been used officially since the late 1990s, when ABC and the academy quietly decided to drop it in favor of vaguely talking about hundreds of millions.
