The star writer for SI has left SI for ESPN magazine etc.. I guess he will get more money and airtime. Reilly has been an important cog to SI for the longest time. His work has fallen the past couple of years but it is still a surprise. I think they will plug in former ESPN player Dan Patrick into the prestigious back page column. I have never been a fan of Patrick who I find grating but time will tell if he can hold the post assuming it is him.
The whole incident is another reminder of why SI has been off their game for some time. The Federer non cover issue is the elephant in the room--and everyone who lives and breathes knows it. And not too far behind is the ongoing neglect of hockey.
The editor should have been fired several years ago. With Reilly bolting maybe the head honchos will finally see the light? The writing has been on the wall for too long.
