Hate Mail From Cheerleaders

Each week, many of Sports Illustrated's 21 million readers turn first to the magazine's last page because that's where they find SI's most popular feature: the Life of Reilly column, written by bestselling author Rick Reilly. A twenty-two-year veteran of Sports Illustrated and ten-time National Sportswriter of the Year, Reilly took over SI's back page in 1998, and his column immediately attracted a devoted following, including the legions of fans who helped make his first collection, The Life of Reilly, a New York Times bestseller in 2000. Now comes Hate Mail from Cheerleaders, 100 of Reilly's favorites from the past seven years, along with a new foreword by Lance Armstrong and column postscripts by the author. Alternately sidesplitting and heartwarming, but always opinionated and provocative, these pieces are the best works by the best columnist in the business. "Reilly could write about lawn bowling and make it funny, informative and entertaining." -- Los Angeles Times on Rick Reilly Rick Reilly joined the staff of Sports Illustrated in 1985.
