Inspired by the forced retirement of Sports Illustrated "Hair and Space" Man, Mr. Steve Rushin. Or as we lovingly refer to him: Size 12.
Here's to you, Size 12. From a fan. Size 14/15.
"Forced"? Think "Logan's Run." Only balder.
Now go do that thing you do...

I loved most of your selections, and admire the eclectic choices -- from Johnette Howard's The Rivals to Frank Rich.
I'm a sports fan and wondered what happened to Steve Rushin? Is he really leaving SI?
