Rick Reilly News and Notes

There have been some developments in Rick Reilly world the last couple of days that we didn’t get a chance to comment on for whatever reason.

• Rick and Bill Simmons sucked it up and did a podcast together. I can’t listen to Reilly’s voice without getting physically ill, so…thanks to the Big Lead for taking care of that. They mostly discussed their paychecks and the Tiger Woods situation, because we haven’t talked enough about Tiger Woods lately. [TheBigLead]
• In related news, apparantly Reilly revealed that he will no longer be writing for ESPN the Mag, and will be solely online. This effectively means nothing. What does have some affect on people’s lives is this: Reilly will “be starting this 90 second essay on Sportscenter.” Supposedly he will be doing this from his home, or wherever, with a Flip cam and Skype…so that should be about the worst thing ever. As if watching Sportscenter wasn’t already bad enough. [Deadspin]
• Finally, on Reilly’s (not)blog, Rick officially became the 12,345,683, 249th person to make fun of John Daly’s pants. Better late than never. Amirite? [ESPN]

Now that we think about it, though, Reilly really has no place making fun of Daly’s choice of wardrobe, considering this….

Whatever this is.
