Rick Reilly is a horrible writer

I have never liked Rick Reilly's writing style. Something about it just annoys me, and I know that many others feel the same way.

It felt weird when I actually thought a couple of his recent columns were actually good -- something was unnatural. There was a disturbance in the force.

But with his latest column about the Denver Nuggets, all balance was replaced in the force.

Just take a look at what passes for cleverness with Reilly:
Moses wandered the desert for 40 years? Pah. That's Club Med compared to us. For 41 years, we've eaten sand and washed it down with tall glasses of bile. At least Moses had manna. All we ever got was crayon jerseys.
So why does he make so much money?
