Reilly, Rick Hate Mail from Cheerleaders: And Other Adventures from the Life of Reilly
New York, New York, U.S.A. Time Books / Sports Illustrated Books 2008 1603207724 / 9781603207720 Trade Paperback Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 320 pages. Product Description: Soon after best-selling author Rick Reilly started writing a weekly back-page column for Sports Illustrated, he tackled the subject of cheerleading. Reilly wrote: " I don`t hate cheerleading just because it`s as safe as porcupine juggling. I hate it because it`s dumb. Cheerleaders have no more impact on the game than the night janitorial staff. Exactly what does a girl get out of cheerleading, anyway, besides a circle skirt and a tight sweater? " These sentiments didn`t exactly endear him to the pom-pom set, who went after the 11-time National Sportswriter of the Year with a vicious letter-writing campaign. That`s the story behind the title of Reilly`s latest collection of columns, Hate Mail from Cheerleaders, now releasing as a paperback. Having handpicked 100 of his favorite pieces from the last seven years, Reilly revisits his subjects by adding postscripts to his work. It`s obvious why the book`s first release as a hardcover in the spring of 2007 reached the New York Times bestseller list for eight consecutive weeks: this collection brings together the best work by the best columnist in the business.

Reilly, Rick The Life of Reilly: The Best of Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly
Total Sports Publishing 2000 1892129884 / 9781892129888 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Very-nice, clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 272 pages. Witty, irreverent, opinionated, honest, laugh-out-loud funny -- these are just a few of the adjectives that have been used to describe the writing of Rick Reilly, the six-time National Sportswriter of the Year who has entertained the readers of Sports Illustrated for 15 years with his unique perspective on the world of sports and life in general. Now, in The Life of Reilly, Rick has selected 66 of his finest stories to create a collection that is sure to amuse, inform, and provoke sports fans and non-fans alike. The book is organized around Reilly's seven Rs: Rants, Raves, Reality, Roots, Rough, Wrecks, and Royalty. His subjects range from the sublime -- UCLA coach John Wooden, one of sports' most honorable men -- to the ridiculous -- Reilly's terrifying trip aboard an F-14D Tomcat fighter -- and also include a healthy dose of opinion, on everything from the ubiquity of the Nike symbol to the overpaid brats we call professional athletes these days. There are features on sports greats, rants against high-profile athletic programs, tales of golfing glory in and out of the spotlight, reflections on enduring values and the true meaning of sacrifice, and personal stories about the Reilly family's trials and tribulations. Evident throughout is Reilly's trademark humor, on ample display in his story of playing golf with President Clinton (whom he finds himself, with horror, calling "Pard"), his discussion of cheerleading mania ("Cheerleaders from all over tried to write me hate mail, but cheerleader hate mail is not terribly scary. They'd write, 'I hope you die!' and put a little heart over the 'i.'"), and his experience as the coach of a quirky Little League team (his players are more concerned with how to eat sunflower seeds without using their hands than with the intricacies of baseball). Treat yourself to The Life of Reilly -- those who know Reilly's work will be pleased to revisit the master; those who don't will be thrilled to discover an extraordinary talent.
