Always have liked Reilly's columns, and actually didn't renew my SI subscription when he left. His "best of" book is an excellent read.

I'm not renewing my SI subscription, Reilly leaving is one of the main reasons.

Good book review.

"How his education at Oregon State consisted of attending one class for one week. 'I didn't want people to know how smart I was,' he confesses. "

we have 2 guys who didn't meet NCAA academic standards and this azzclown took one class for one week. And you know this isn't that uncommon. Really, though, and it's for the best and I'm glad, but they seem to really care that our two guys aren't pursuing their degree seriously.

Yeah, he just said that this week (breast cancer awareness week) he is going to wear pink shoes, gloves, mouthpiece, etc in hopes that the NFL fines him ...... he plans on matching the amount of the NFL's fine with a donation to a breast cancer charity ........ what an a** hole!

I kept thinking Reilly was doing a spoof. No one could possibly put crap like that in an autobiography. This has to be satire.

Evidently, these are actual quotes from the book.

Flabergasting.

As far as Reilly's writing, it always helps to have good material.

Hook 'em.
