Rick Reilly.quote:...Doesn't matter. The 81-year-old Washington Redskins name is falling, and everybody better get out of the way. For the majority of Native Americans who don't care, we'll care for them. For the Native Americans who haven't asked for help, we're glad to give it to them.

And Craig Calcaterra just posted this on Twitter:quote:Rick Reilly makes $3.4 million a year. For that they get no one reading him other than hate-reads + local talk radio-level insight.

I like how the embedded image in the article managed to mock itself:  quote:Headdresses are traditionally worn on important occasions by Native Americans who have worked to earn each feather.

Bleacher Report hired the New York Times' Knicks writer: http://deadspin.com/bleacher-report-poaches-howard-beck-from-the-times-1343855547 I know the Times sees sports differently, but that's still an impressive hire.

Literally any other picture of events unfolding at a Washington game would have been better (well, worse for us).

Part of the reason Bleacher Report got bought by Turner Sports is using it to populate a lot of the content on NBA.com, guessing those moves are related to that goal.

NYT sports section has never been anything special either, so this isn't that great of a victory, but gathering the other three with this one is pretty good for them. Any mention on if these guys are going to travel with the teams still?

Why does ESPN pay Rick Reilly $3.4 million when Grantland's "#hotsportstakes" guy does the same job for 1/50th the cost?

It didn't have the same recognition as Reilly, but that Padres blog on SBNation celebrating the injury of some kid who decided to go to college rather than sign with the Padres was pretty awful.

Simmons vs Reilly would be ugly. They're both tools, but Simmons is not held back by his corporate masters nearly as much and can go anywhere he wants with criticism.
