Rick Reilly done writing ESPN column July 1

He claims it's his idea.

“I’ve been writing sports for a living, non-stop, since I was 20,” said Reilly, 56. “I figured out recently that I’ve published over two million words, all on sports. I’m ready to try something new.”
The number is actually 1,750,000 if you don't count the repeats.

 

So the number of platforms on which he completely sucks is down to three? I count TV, radio and Twitter.

 

Wrong sport. Only sport he cares about is pro basketball. Put him on the NBA coverage and it might be worth watching.

Ya, maybe not.

 

The same guy who thinks Berman is still good.

 

Reilly’s newest book (his 11th) — a collection of his best ESPN work — is due out May 13.

I wonder if it's going to be longer than "Famous Jewish Sports Legends."

 

My question was going to be how could you tell?

 

These guys keep getting extended, keep getting jobs, keep getting raises.
They're as fireproof as it gets.
Just like the do-nothing columnist in the days of yore at the paper.

 

I just don't think ESPN really knew what to do with him.

 

Maybe let him try to write a 30 for 30.

 

What werew they suppose to do with him?

He's mailing it in, has been for years.
