Rick Reilly

[woolybug25]

Yes, I did. Because it's near blasphemy that I'm getting dogged on for sharing the same feelings on this matter that the head coach, the AD, and whoever else made the call to welcome him to ND did. Would you (speaking generally) have the stones to call out BK and Jack and tell them to shove it for allowing Rick Riley come hangout with the team? Hell no. And if you do, tweet at BK or write him a letter about how he's wrong.

Neg reps are lame, dude. They are for trolls, not for fellow regular posters that you disagree with something on.

I don't get the rest of what you are saying either. Are you trying to say that we all have to agree 100% with the administrations decisions? That's silly.

 

[ulukinatme]

Guys we're fighting over rick reilly. Cool your jets.

That was Reilly's plan all along, to make the Irish turn on each other before the big game! We cannot let the d-bag win.

 

[Irish8248]

.... I'm pro-the situation .....

no one should be pro the situation.... unless your snooki.... NEG Rep for jersey shore reference

 

[ND_Dubb]

Amen.

This isn't something that's done for punishment, I think a lot of us would give their first born (well maybe third or fourth born) to have the honor.

Rick Reilly should suit up and run some rodeo drills for penance. (Sans gold helmet of course.)

First Born sounds like a deal to me.

"No, I'm not going 2 welsh on my bet. I will polish Notre Dame's helmets. Penance is penance. Trying 2 get permission."


He just went back up in my book.

**** that. Id never let that mush near those helmets.

Blasphemy! lol sorry, couldn't help myself.

Couldn't find a youtube clip but I found this. Paging KPENN for the unjinx

I wonder how his peers feel about him? There are journalists who make a name for themselves by actually being good journalists. Then there is RR, who is making a name for himself at the expense of ND. It's bush league, and I'm sure he isn't well respected among other journalists who have an ounce of integrity.

Here we go, much better penance

Would any of you balk at a chance to be in the equipment room shining helmets?

This prick runs his mouth all season and he is rewarded for it. F him, I hope he breaks both his hands and loses his voice - permanently.

Not a chance. Shoot, I'm thinking of moving my family to South Bend.

What's done is done. Sorry if I pissed anyone off on this issue. I have my opinion, you have yours. Go Irish!

 

[no.1IrishFan]

What bothers me the most is, what does this say to other "journalists" who want to go from a nobody to a somebody overnight?

Here's the recipe:

Write a slam article about a team that has a huge following, a national following. Make this article so preposterous that readers check the calendar to make sure it's not April fools day. After you've stirred the collective pot and gotten the fan base nice and toasty, offer a bet. Make sure the bet is still negative in nature so if you win you look like you knew what was up the whole time. But, if you lose, agree to "eat crow" by shinning helmets and getting EVEN MORE publicity.

It's a win/win for this clown!

By responding to this thread I am myself part of the problem.
I propose to ALL IE'ers, no more RR talk. Act as if the man doesn't even exist! Anything more than that, good or bad, and he wins.

Close the tread!

No, keep it open. What if ESPN is doing a segment on this.

* Edward Sorin, C.S.C. ‏@FatherSorin
He got publicity, a behind-the-scenes campus tour, new friends, and meaningful work. I fear we just rewarded Reilly's bad behavior.

the padre nails it once more

 

[Koreyirishkelly]

So all it takes to shine one of those beautiful helmets is to bash the football team?? Hell I'll do that just to shine the helmets. Haha.

This is everything he wanted.

 

[Irish#1]

Does anyone know how many he actually did? My guess is he only did about 6 or 7 before stopping, but you never know.

Last time I disagreed w/ Golic I got punked, but don't see how Te'o can win Heisman when he's 2nd best defender in USA. #1 is SC's Clowney.


Rick Reilly‏@ReillyRick

Just tweeted Te'o shouldn't win Heisman. Now I'm about to speak to a Notre Dame J school class. Should've stolen a helmet.


Question: Is Manziel the best QB in the country??

Didn't Clowney get benched in one game because while he was rushing the QB the running back was running by him with the ball? Clowney is one dimensional.

Should have never let this clown on campus.

You honestly had no interest in what was going to come of his visit?

Then don't read it.
