The Voice of Rick Reilly

Rick Reilly has been voted National Sportswriter of the Year 11 times, including for 2006. For nearly 23 years - from 1985 until 2007 — his unique, breezy, hilarious style graced the pages of Sports Illustrated. For the last 10 years there, he wrote the popular "Life of Reilly" column, which ran on the last page. It was the first signed weekly opinion column in the magazine's long history.

Beginning June 1, 2008, Reilly will try something new in an old spot. He'll begin writing the back-page column for ESPN the Magazine. He'll also write columns for ESPN.com, and deliver essays for ESPN SportsCenter and ABC-TV's golf coverage. He will also host an interview show. Wow. Makes us tired just thinking about it all.
