In late August they’ll hold the “Running of the Scribes”, where 250 pound bull dykes with tattoos and piercings shove rolled up newspapers up the asses of naked hacks like Robinson and Reilly. Plan your vacation around it.

Yeah. I’m sure after 9 years she’ll come around.
Hey, if I give you her e-mail address could you try and talk her into it? No matter how mean I am to her, she just thinks I’m joking.

What really enrages them is getting slapped with a rolled up copy of the PFT Season Preview Mag. For some reason they comprehend it as a much greater indignity to their pride. Allegedly a bull slapped with the PFT mag in Pampalona was still mowing down pedestrians on the Champs Elysee three days later.

I know where he’s coming from.
Whenever we go on a ferris wheel, I rock the cart. My wife gets all mad and is like “This is already dangerous enough! You don’t have to make it slightly more dangerous!” and I’m all “You knew what you were signing on for when you bought the three tickets required for entry onto this ride.”
So really it’s the same situation if you think about it.

Reilly’s always been a smug, self-absorbed asshole. Too bad his sorry ass didn’t get gored.

Reilly’s a hack..like so many other sports “writers”
I don’t understand how these guys get the egos they get, the jobs they have is a joke.. you’re covering games and grown children. Yes, I love sports, but these idiots have the egos of the players for some reason..The only reason they have any rep is due to the access to players, teams, and personel they gained when newspapers were still relevant and the internet didn’t exist..
It has nothing to do with their actual wrting ability
(see Peter King, Mitch Albom, Mike Lupica, Phil Mushnick, Vescey, Mariotti – who’s apparently a sociopath in real life)
The boys over at Deadspin justifiably take Reilly and others to task on a routine basis..
Bloggerss (Deadspin, The Big Lead, KSK, DC Sports Blog, PFT) seem to realize that sport is not to be taken too seriously.

“Do some research before you endanger other people’s lives”. “Reckless & terrible” …He said with a straight face…. they run with the bulls and your worried about safety?…They use the newspaper as a distraction?…Wonder what the bulls like better, the funny pages or the sports section?

Rick Reilly is a pompous jerk. His stuff has steadily gotten more and more crappy over the last several years. I wish he’d just go away…
