I like that he'll work through through to the end. He created a market, then oversaturated it a little... but I respect the guy.
always liked him best on radio, rather than tv or print.
Cheers, thanks.
Damn, shame. I've always found internet message board jealousy funny. But some people take it seriously, and feel like taking a shot at somebody puts them over in some way. Too bad, kids fail to realize that having grownups in the circle - even ones you may disagree with -...
The unfortunate truth is that style speaks in vagaries. A writer may use alliteration because to him it sounds better, and when words strung together sound better they tend to resonate with the reader. Alliteration is just one form or function - one way for an individual writer to make his...
If it took you this long to finally be disappointed in Rick Reilly....... then you got a much longer ride out of him than a lot of us did....

How much college basketball do you watch? It appears very little. Clearly I was referencing him talking about his playing career - which will be the pitch. Playing dumb to benefit your argument is unbecoming. 2muchcoffee man is well versed and has followed zeke through his professional...
But my thing is this - Who cares? College and the NBA are VASTLY different animals. In college - Recruiting is king. Once you are at the TALENT level of the best teams, then coaching is a big factor; but with superior talent, and sub-par coaching you can still be a very good team.
Isiah...

Personally, i'm over steroids.
Wow....
