This Day in LSB History

by Adam J. Morris on Oct 20, 2009 2:30 PM CDT

On this day two years ago, we discussed Rick Reilly leaving SI for ESPN.

And unfortunately, he took with him to ESPN all the annoying qualities that made him such a useless writer his last few years at SI, with his column basically turning into "Bart's People."

Burns: [sniffles] Excellent.

I had a paper route when I was a kid. I was supposed to go to 2,000 houses. Or two dumpsters.

Reilly attempted to single-handedly ruin Hambone’s Derby in Yankee Stadium?

No...

What do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze? Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit?

remember when

rick “morals and responsibility” allegedly allowed his underage kid to throw a party with underage drinking in his home…and a sexual assault took place?

if this weren’t serious i’d write “good times”
