He obviously doesn't have anything to write about. The 11W follow up is on point.

Rick Reilly really is a joke. I haven't liked an article of his in awhile and this one was flatout gay

There was some definite humor in there.
I liked the comment about black shoes not making teams look slower, bowl games do.

There is really no point in reading anything Reilly writes. I can't even watch his stupid shit when he is on TV.

Its a little of both. Some humor, but mostly just typical Reilly.

How does this guy have a job? That was pathetic in all aspects. Sports journalism and attempted humor.

Speaks more to the state of writing than to any great talent on his part IMO.

Yeah that's it. I didn't find this article particularly entertaining either. But apparently the guy does something right because not only does he have a job, apparently he is recognized as one of the best. I don't really know anything else about him so maybe all of the accomplished journalists here are right.

My thought exactly, it's been years since I've seen an article by him. I didn't like his schtick when he wrote the back page for SI.

I thought it was pretty funny. You people are just too uptight and defensive about the Big Ten. He took some of our quirks as a conference and pointed them out in an arguably humorous way. I had no problem with it.
The Eleven Warriors response was funnier though.

No one gives a shit about what you have to say. A quark? You are an idiot.

I didn't exactly have belly laughs on his article but I did grin a little. Reilly did hit the nail on the head a few times.krambman;837305 wrote:I thought it was pretty funny.

C'mon Buckeye and Big 10 fans lighten up a bit. Keep in mind that Nebraska at least thinks bolting from the Big 12 to the Big 10 (12?) was a GOOD thing. lol

I didn't find the article that offensive, but it wasn't that funny either. (I'll admit I might have grinned once or twice, but overall it was pretty meh.)

I think it was for them, because they were getting the shaft from Texas.

Agreed. But it did come off a bit venomous in some spots.
