About Rusi »

I used to work in sports radio. Although, I have left sports radio, and radio in general behind, I love sports.

That is a picture of Luis Sojo for those keeping score. Not me.

Why is it there? Does it really matter?

I live in paradise and am a new attorney. Whoopee.

Hey Rusi—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our College Football page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

Oh man, now we have 3 or 4 documented attorneys on here -- so much of people thinking of B|R as being respectable.

Congrats on passing the bar -- there is only one word I would use to describe it: mindf**k.

Yeah, yeah, I know -- vulgar. I'm a lawyer, what did you expect?

Thanks, Rusi. I may be against the idea of the University of Georgia succeeding against Florida in athletics, but I have nothing but respect for the institution and its graduates.

Hey Rusi -

As one of the other guys who created and runs Bleacher Report, I wanted to let you know that we've all read your article on plagiarism and appreciate the feedback. It's something we're all talking about internally and hope to find a solution that can better serve both victims of plagiarism and those that are falsely accused. I do happen to agree with you that, as far as we've come, Bleacher Report has a long way to go and can only do so with the combined efforts of writers like you who strive to make the site better through both writing great work and giving constructive feedback when necessary.

Thanks again,
Dave

Hey Rusi,

I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Rusi!

Truth hurts sometimes Rusi. Ohio St. fans need to get off their high horse and take a sip from the cup of reality.

And on Pitt, I grew up a Pitt fan and I covered a few of their games this season...even got to check out the team over the summer. Bias aside, I've never seen a back that looked less like a freshman before he even stepped on the field than McCoy. Built and had that swagger before he was making a name for himself. Moreno is a good back, no doubt, but Shady was a true freshman...he won't be sneaking up on anyone this year, so they need to have a QB in place this season for sure if they want to crack the top 25 and stay there.

Either way, like I said....enjoyed the list, a bit different (thank God) and you aren't a Big 10 drone...also a big plus.

Peace
