The Oh Reilly FactorRick Reilly, columnist extraordinaire for Sports Illustrated has been spewing his thoughts of and surrounding sports for years. His commentaries are informative, insightful, and sometimes hysterical (see here and here).
Reilly's style is usually humorous, poking fun at the absurdities of athletes, coaches, and almost anyone involved in sports at any level. Reilly does have a serious side, and has written on many subjects, from "small town" heroes to his own personal life.
