Default Life of Reilly no more. Retires.
long time sports columnist Rick Reilly retires. One of my favorite writers period. Loved his columns at the end of SI issues.

Some tributes and links to some of his best work.

His last column.

Probably a good time to retire. I thought his writing had gotten pretty tired and stale over the last decade or so.

I don't think going to ESPN was a good move for him. I'm sure it was a great move financially, but I really didn't like him in that medium.

Didn't he get caught recycling columns a few years ago?
