I used to always turn to the last page of Sports Illustrated first, to see what Reilly had to say. It's a shame we can't get a weekly taste of his writing anymore. This collection is a fine sampling of his style - humorous, self-deprecating, compassionate, witty, sarcastic, and heartfelt. My favorites: a riff on cheerleading and a tribute to the science teacher (and coach) at Columbine High School. ( )
