RICK REILLY SUGGESTS NIPPLE CLAMPS FOR TEENAGERS
Tommy Kilborn thinks it’s time for change.Rick Reilly doesn’t like us, and that’s fine. Rick Reilly makes 3 mil a year for writing an 800 word column once a week, usually some good-natured but dated pablum about golf, golf, his troubles playing golf, and how awesome it is to be writing an 800 word column about golf for a living. In America, we call this separating fools from their money, and we’re all for it. There’s no one less relevant to his universe than a golf-hating college football blogger, and there’s no one less relevant to our world than a guy who makes jokes about the Queen Mother and writes about golf. We’ve never read him with any regularity, and we’re sure the same is true the other way around.
Nevertheless, you tromp on college football’s sod, and the ears prick up a bit. From today’s “Life of Reilly:”
The thing about college football coaches is this: They lie just slightly more than your average Fallujah real estate agent.
We’re not even sure what that means. Reilly hates Arabs? There’s one columnist not voting for Barack Hussein Suicidebomberallahabad Obama this fall! Hey-o, topical humor! Plus, everyone knows the real estate market in Iraq is booming, right? It’s a great time to buy.
But affairs do not take a turn to the perverse until the next sentence. Prepare yourselves. Your sex drive will be killed for eight to ten days at this thought:
But now with my new invention—TruthClamps™—you can find out exactly what these coaches mean. TruthClamps™ take out the guesswork!
Simply take the two six-inch, orange TruthClamps™, attach them to the nipples of your school’s football coach and turn on the readout machine. Imagine, finally getting the straight story from these guys!
Notre Dame fans, you should be covered in your own vomit at this moment. Column proceeds, filled with light, wooden banter about how corrupt college athletics is exponential blahs etcetera, but then we’re back to even more disturbing nipple twisting at the end:
TruthClamps™ can be yours for just $99.95. Also work great on teenagers, husbands and members of Congress!
That’s ridiculously expensive for a pair of nipple clamps: basics seem to be around 15 bucks at most. (Check a few out here if you’re not at work, or you seriously don’t give a shit and want to look anwyay.) Hell, you can go femme/dom bananas for for 30 bucks and get vibrating nipple clamps if you’re just gonzo on this whole “nipple torture to induce truth” gambit.
Second: Rick Reilly suggests you twist teenagers nipples. Here, in the marasmus stage of professional sportswriting, let it be shown that when the fine city of beat-reporter to unremovable columnist burnt to the ground, some of the citizens of that fine city responded by going crazy and deciding that nipple torture was teh way to go. And thank god, because that picture and all this talk of nipple-twisting is GETTING US HOTT! [/vomitsonselfagain]
P.S. Excerpting this column at Reilly’s rates means each of you owes us $38. This shit doesn’t come cheap.

That 5.0 Guy says:
See, Reilly is actually a huge real estate mogul. He sees Iraq as investment property, but those damn ay-rabs keeping mucking up his bidness. Now, if you’ll excuse him, he has a stripper to schmuse on the 9th green.
Really, though, he’s just harshing the mellow and schtick of Frank DeFord & Dr. Z. At least they are old, OLD guys. Reilly is like your buddy’s middle aged dad trying to be cool.

Reilly reminds of an old man in a bar… Perusing the place for a younger woman, someone at least 20 years younger. He’s got kids, an ex-wife, “problems” in a certain area and more emotional baggage than you can imagine.

I used to like some of his columns, when one out of every four was a feel good/bad story about some poor kid from bumfuck with little donny disease. For the last few years it seems all he can do is make tacky ass analogies. I read this column last night (I have a free ESPN The Magazine subsciption thanks to the nice fella who used to live in the apartment I just moved into) and was dumbstruck. Quite literally I was struck by how fucking dumb it was.
With each passing day I become more and more convinced that everyone who has a working association with ESPN is a fucking douchebag.

I do like golf, and still hate Reilly. He ruined what was otherwise a fantastic broadcast of the Americans kicking some Euro-trash, whiny bitches in the Ryder Cup.

Reilly has also convinced that for that $3 mil a year, ESPN allow him on TV, where he basically appears as a less interesting and less funny version of Nick Bakay, if that were possible.
Separating fools from their money: it’s the American way!

Someone should clue #13 in on the LSU pressbox story. Their depiction was eerily accurate.
The thing about RR is that with the development of the Internet and the 500MM other avenues to read about sports, he can be ignored.
There was a time in the not so distant past that we all had subscriptions to Sports Illustrated, and there were always those weeks when you blew through the magazine, and you had a couple of days to kill before the following week’s edition arrived…
and you had to hit the john.
Thankfully, RR is gone from my periodicals.
Slice of life pieces where the writer just wants to tell you about his life experiences, like a bad Randy Newman song, suck donkey balls.

JV says:
Reilly is a smug jerk. He interviewed ARod at Arod’s house and told ESPN that there was “something fake about the guy.” I’m not an ARod fan nor am I even a baseball fan…but what kind of prick would accept an invitation to a player’s house, then call him fake on ESPN? This was when everyone was piling on ARod a couple years ago, and it just seemed petty, prissy, and juvenile. I don’t get Reilly’s fame…He’s a so-so writer, his jokes are bad, and his column isn’t interesting. There is more creativity in one page of EDSBS than in a year’s worth of SI Reilly columns.
