Synopsis

A collection of the very best recent writings from ESPN columnist and New York Times bestselling author Rick Reilly.

Rick Reilly, the much-loved columnist for ESPN, has been hailed by Publisher's Weekly as "one of the funniest humans on the planet - an indescribable amalgam of Dave Barry, Jim Murray, and Lewis Grizzard, with the timing of Jay Leno and the wit of Johnny Carson." Indeed, Reilly is a sportswriter like none other: not only hilarious, his breezy, pithy voice appeals to all readers, sports fans or no. That's because beyond his great style, Reilly always seems to get to the heart of the issue: whether spending a day in the life of Kobe Bryant, admonishing Tiger Woods temper tantrums, or admiring Tebow's work with cancer patients, his insightful articles and observations are guaranteed to make you laugh, get you angry, or even make you cry. In this new collection, Reilly compiles the best of his columns from the last five years with ESPN, a winning recipe that helped his previous collections Life of Reilly and Hate Mail from Cheerleaders, published by Sports Illustrated become national bestsellers. Shrewd, fast-paced, and filled with enough sports trivia for even the most rabid fans, this showcases Reilly at the very top of his game.
