Oh he brings in a ton of people. Just ask him. He refers to himself as ‘The Sports Guy’. His twitter account claims him as the original.

Is that why Simmons changed his Twitter handle?

Steve Young’s face/tap of Reilly on the arm + small dog nails clicking frantically on hard wood floor in background = amazing video.

I keep this.

Simmons used to poke Reilly when Reilly was at SI. ESPN hired Reilly and Simmons got pissy because of how much money Reilly was making. ESPN forced them to do a podcast together. I never listened to it, but I bet it was uncomfortable.

Just two insufferable individuals there

Reilly and Simmons have a feud? Dang, I must get out less – I’m missing way too much.

I don’t want to be the grammar police, but he should probably go the grammatically route on announcing what school he is going to attend.

Breaking routine news first is mostly chest-puffing. Not sure anyone outside media notices or cares.
The reporters’ bosses notice.

So you’re the guy that read his last piece.

Every sports blog in the country had a field day with that piece. Hard to ignore.

Lost a lot of respect for Bill Simmons when he had Reilly on his podcast and acted like everything was cool between them. If you don’t want to have a feud out in public, that’s one thing. But don’t question people’s intelligence by suggesting that you two have nothing but respect for each other.

That “people you see at the gym” piece was just ridiculous.

Most conflate the ability to break news (even the routine stuff) with credibility. It absolutely matters perception-wise.

Hat’s off the Steve Young, sticking up for the reporter in all of us. He had no dog in this fight, but that look … you would have thought Rick told Scott, “tell them I have a law degree.”

What I don’t know if is Steve was hating on Rick because he knew Reilly was lying about being the guy to break the story or because the notion of having to be confirmed as the guy who broke the story via twitter on live tv is just ridiculous and petty.

You could tell that as fast as Trent and Young made angry faces that hating on Reilly isn’t new to them. They obviously don’t like him. That was fast.

Yeah I could see how a guy like that wouldn’t have many friends in the industry.
