Mike Tunison made a minor blogosphere — and mainstream media — storm last year when the Washington Post fired him after he posted a photo which revealed his real identity on his infamous NFL blog, Kissing Suzy Kolber. (His posts there, and on other sites, had been written under a pseudonym.) Seemingly unfazed — maybe even liberated — Tunison’s since taken KSK to new, often hilarious, occasionally offensive, and surprisingly insightful heights. He’s also just published his first book, The Football Fan’s Manifesto, which is part rallying cry, part vicious skewering of the real America’s game, professional football. In the Manifesto, no one is safe: not the slimeball owners (cough cough), not baseball fans, not even your beloved star running back. From birth to death, it’s a detailed guide to becoming an insane, unbalanced, possibly even sociopathic football fan.

Tunison took some time to answer DCist’s questions about the book, the Redskins chances this year and on into eternity, and what to watch for this season. Oh, and he also thinks Norv Turner’s going to win the Super Bowl.

First off, can you just talk about what inspired you to write the book, to kind of put all the blog rants and opinions into one, hand-held collection?

That’s part of it. There are several themes that have been addressed in passing on ours and other blogs, so it was good to get them together to help form a cohesive fan’s viewpoint. But then there are a lot of little nuances that I was able to touch on that you probably wouldn’t really be able to on a blog unless something happened in the league to bring them to the fore.

Yeah, I noticed you really come after the ownership and leadership of the league. As a guy who grew up deifying the Redskins from afar, I didn’t actually get to a home game until I was in college. And my first couple trips to games were great, but as time has gone on, and as I’ve started to spend my own money, it’s become less and less appealing. So my question is two fold — 1) is FedEx the worst experience in the league? and 2) how did we get to this point where the fan matters very little in these decisions?

I haven’t been to every venue in the league, so I can’t say with absolute authority that it’s the worst, but it’s quickly gaining the reputation of being one of the worst live experiences in the NFL, and I’d say FedEx has done a lot to deserve that reputation. I’d say it’s hard to compare others with Snyder, because he’s one of the most business driven and fan-unfriendly owners in the league, not that the other owners are exactly populists either, because they aren’t. Unfortunate, it’s a sad upshoot to the NFL being the king of sports in the U.S. — the owners understand that demand in so high for their product (at least outside Jacksonville), that the risk of alienating fans isn’t that much of a deal for them, unfortunately.
