Rick Reilly moving to ESPN

See, making this move was as surprising seeing a bishop at a porn convention. It left me more wide-eyed than Reche Caldwell after a truck full of Red Bull.

But you never know where the line is until you actually step over it. It's funny how sometimes a Boulder kid ends up making the boldest move of all.

BIMO.

I used to love Reilly, but I've gotten sick of him. Not sure if it's his fault or not -- you read somebody long enough, and you'll start to get sick of them. I do think some of the actual "reporting" he's done that end up creating columns for him is a bit questionable -- the way he handed the Sosa thing, for instance, was poor.

Where did Steve Rushin go, btw? I stopped reading SI for a few months (just sort of let it fall off) and when I picked it up again, I noticed he was gone.
