Let your hair down, sit back and relax because the NFL season starts tonight when two teams who really don’t care for one another square off in Pittsburgh.  The Steelers and Titans renew old acquiantances and quench a football thirst that cannot be satiated by early season college football mercy killings involving any assortment of [...]

A Below Average Photo Essay: Skins Pats Exhibition Edition

August 29th, 2009 · 3 Comments

On a sloppily stormy night in our Nation’s Capital (well, technically Landover, Maryland) FOTP operatives infiltrated the epicenter of American Culture. If you can’t make cotillion class a parking lot outside an NFL game will do just fine.
