So sports blogger extraordinaire Drew Magary decided to mock Rick Reilly, and make Twitter the place to do it. Thus was born "Rick Rielly," a mock feed for the world's most cloying sports columnist. Some of the highlights, before the feed was pulled earlier this week:
"Dave Lao was born without a pituitary gland. Yet his love of Nordic skiing grows by the day. Funny how that works."I'm debating whether to start Twittering myself. On the one hand, I think I'd like it; on the other, I already waste enough time each day with Facebook and Google Reader.

"Eight-time World Boomerang Association champion Keith Murdock is always quick with a comeback!"
"There's brave. Then there's Don Teed brave. Never heard of him? Not surprising, considering he's always shunned the limelight and he's dead."
