Reilly-Patrick I -- This Time, It's Insignificant.

If Patrick gets Reilly's spot, it'll be a sign that SI has really gone off the rails.

 

Does Bill Scheft still do a column for SI?

 

Sadly, no.

 

jgmacg,

Did you really think that Scheft column was good?

 

I don't think I'd call it a column, really, and it was never a good fit for the magazine, but yes, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it because it was different, and because it required a certain amount of mental dexterity on my part to follow the associations and leaps in comic logic it made. I liked it because it was the same as listening to a really good comic doing material that was way too hip for the room, and that only the band understood.

 

Would the ghost be transparent and thus given credit such as "Joe Blow contributed to this column" or would they go full-blown Jayson Blair on us?

 

might not....

He's awful on TV.

 

I've witnessed Reilly stumble through TV work.

I haven't seen proof that Patrick isn't an excellent writer... have you?

 

I haven't seen proof that he's a writer at all.

 

Me either.
