Rick Reilly wishes he could succeed as well as Bill Simmons has as a writer, despite all facts showing that he is a milquetoast Sunday columnist better suited to a weekly article raising a marginal topic to the surface.

Instead, he went out during the last half-decade of his career attempting to throw elbows in the hot take atmosphere, eventually resulting in his infamous misquote of his own father-in-law. However this is not the only terrible thing he put to word processor: he Tut-tutted at Kap for not wanting to meet his birth-mother, derailed a post-game show to (incorrectly) demand first-on-twitter credit for reporting on an injury, THE MOST SMUG LILY-WHITE ARTICLE ON ATHLETE TATTOOS OF ALL TIME, made a completely self-involved, born-on-third speech to the last pure journalism class from his alma mater, misquoted MLK in order to huff his own self-righteousness over the post-Osama assassination celebrations.

The other guy is a minor idiot writing small screeds to be read by lower forms of life. Reilly is someone who demanded a gigantic contract from ESPN to move from his back-of-SI article space. And instead of acting as a counter-balance to the Bill Simmons machine, he instead floundered like a fish flopping on a dry lake bed. Reilly had much more volume to speak with, but ultimately had nothing positive to add.

edit:

Further: He was paid $17 million to leave SI, and part of that was a hosting gig of a show that died immediately, a schmaltzy work of athletes back in their hometowns, a stupid book about stupid sports written in a you're-stupid-for-buying this tone, and ultimately retiring with an archive full of stories he already wrote last decade.

He deserves this to be closer than it is. Plus Reilly was once decent. Mushnick has double, triple and quadruple downed on being a smug racist shitbag.

This is the thing....

Looking at the numbers, I think we are the best team remaining in the whole NCAA tournament. ULL is the closest, followed by Virginia. If we can let our nuts hang and take care of business tomorrow, we will be the odds on favorite to take home a mother ****ing National Championship. **** those other teams. Virginia is decent, but they have a weak rear end offense that would succumb to our scrotum diameters. That's a fact. Get by ULL, and this bitch is a cakewalk and I hope to hang out with a bunch of you mother****ers in Omaha because it will be a lot of fun. Rawdawgin a ton of randos, if you know what I mean. In the middle of Nebrasksa? Meh. But 6+ is still a fun night.

I'm far past hammered, but this poo poo is due to happen. If the mother ****in' cock suyckin' pansy rear end Mississippyi State lilly rear end baseball team barely loses to the Cajuns, we are going to destroy their assess off of principal alone. Get that. That poo poo is written in the books. Biblical. So let it be written, so let it be done and all that horseshit. We don't have time for prima donna flippin and poo poo. State is a chokejob and dosn't matter. John Cohen can suck on these balls because he likes pink ponies and lipstick. He can star in 27 dresses and be a bridesmaid all the times he wants. He's a pansy and pansies are pansies. They don't deserve to win. Couldn't happen to a better bunch. My Little Pony your rear end to Starkville Elementary you pansy rear end ****. Your kids will probably go to Delta State they will be so retarted from the Starkville public school systems. Shoulda stayed in Kentucky, ****.

Preston Mother ****in Overbey doesnt give a poo poo about your beard, you Louisiana ****. Your sister might be impressed, but Preston Mother ****in Overbey is not, you poo poo head. Go eat a cock. Hang another mother ****ing curve ball and he will show your rear end how to count to 345, you illiterate ****. OH, you want to be called UL? We will more than gladly help you on your way to becoming the University of the absolute worst mother****ing Losers. Cement that poo poo in stone. And stick a catherter in it. You pussies. Shave that poo poo while you're at it. You look like a Mississippi State fan during freshman yyear during his first formal when he gets his sherry popped. Plus 1 for the night, negative 999999 for the rest of your life you ugly rear end mongoloid. 

Fingers in the air, mother****ers. WAMFOM cements itself in history from this point forward. Fly your flags and your middle fingers high. Bianco doesn't give a **** and this poo poo is in the bag. Comma, period, exclamation point hashtag lick my balls .”

That is how you be awful, 12th Man
