Reilly’s Stupidity is Spreading at ESPN
I’m not really going to spend any time on Rick’s latest column. It’s a comparison between Matt Barkley, the QB at USC, and some other freshman. Surprise! They’re completely different! Anyway, the headline on the main page is just ridiculous. In fairness to Reilly, he didn’t write the headline, some copyeditor did, but c’mon, this is just stupid.
Matt Barkley’s life is just like any USC freshman’s life, right? Maybe not.
Of course it’s not like any other USC freshman’s life. The guy’s the quarterback at arguably the biggest football factory on earth. He doesn’t really have to go to class, or study, or try to make friends, or work to help pay for college.
Ugh, it’s just stupid, and frankly, pretty insulting to the reader.
The article isn’t much better. Rick lists things that the regular freshman kid does and alternately compares them to Barkley’s life. It’s just ridiculous. That is all.
