Rick Reilly Loops Back In On Himself

A friend of ours says you shouldn’t make fun of Rick Reilly’s stunning collapse of the last few years, comparing it to Robert De Niro’s movie choices this decade: Sure, De Niro is sleepwalking through hacky comedies, but jeez, come on, it’s still De Niro. Our friend will have a hard time justifying what Tommy Craggs at Deadspin (and of this magazine, for that matter) dug up on Reilly yesterday. Craggs details how Reilly self-plagiarized a mailed-in column he wrote for Sports Illustrated just two years ago, in devastatingly clear terms. This guy is making “ballplayer money” for this?
