I really can't stand Rick Reilly's work. It's like he's trying to hit you over the head with emotionally moving subjects instead of letting youappreciate the story. When he tries to be funny it's even worse, because usually his jokes are dry as hell.
I have a love/hate relationship with Bill Simmons. He makes me laugh a lot and in general is pretty insightful, but dude is SUPER full of himself. He tried touse his show and column as a platform to launch his GM candidacy with the Bucks and Timberwolves, and when he failed he basically stated that those teams weretoo dumb to hire him. He also gives himself way too much credit for some obvious predictions. Wade raped in the Olympics, and Simmons predicted he'd have abig year this year and then mentioned his prediction in every single podcast/column the whole year. The Bulls/Celts played 3 games, 2 of which went to overtimeor came down to the last shot, and then he came out and said it was going to be one of the best series ever. It's somewhat impressive in that there were 4games left, but he had 3 games to see that the two teams were obviously matched up. Of course, he mentioned his prediction in every podcast/column since.
