    I have to disagree because I didn't find this column to be bad at all. In fact, it would have fit right in with the columns he was writing 10-12 years ago at SI, when most people thought he was fantastic. I think this is a case of a certain perception about a writer gaining such momentum that it doesn't change no matter what he does. Reilly's written so many clunkers lately that we're predisposed to thinking everything he writes is bad. It's a humor column and maybe his brand isn't everyone's cup of tea, but this is exactly the kind of column that made him a star.

    Reilly, not long before the move to ESPN: http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1106884/index.htm

    Says Corey, who was taught how to shoot by his father, "I think we all believed he would try to kill us all one day. I'd kind of been preparing to shoot my father for a while."

    One of the most chilling quotes I've ever read.
    Also, one of Reilly's best columns.

    Wow, Pope. Anger? Depression? Way too much idol worship.
