A note from Rick Reilly
When I wrote the column on the back of SI all those years, I'd pull a hamstring every week trying to think of a subject that:
-
Nobody else had found
-
Was different than last week's column
-
Checked out
-
Either made people laugh, cry or throw the magazine across the room
-
Didn't get me fired
