Couch Slouch vs. Life of Reilly

    Compare Norman Chad's riotous Michael Vick column today with Rick Reilly's phone-it-in ESPN Mag Michael Vick piece. I give Reilly credit for being smart enough to leaf through Vick's bankruptcy stuff for material, but Chad gives you so much more entertaining bang for your buck.

    I e-mailed Chad last month to tell him how much I like his column, and he wrote me back that he'd love for me to move into his guest room if he weren't living there already.

    Love this line:

    "These prison guards are more bulked up than Ed Hochuli."

    I've tried getting a question in "Ask the Slouch", no luck yet but he always responds.

    Another good line: "Nobody beats me at bid whist, but what am I going to do with all these cigarettes?"

    I wrote to him years ago about a soccer bashing column he wrote. I think his response was a few hundred words. Crazy.
