No!

That was my reaction when I found out that Rick Reilly is forsaking Sports Illustrated for ESPN. He's a writer. I want to read his words, not listen to him talk. Plus, I'm a bit concerned. Besides the fact that a non-compete means six months of nothing, he's also a man who's allowed an animated version of himself reading a monologue to be distributed through cell phones (I've seen it myself). I think it's safe to say, that, talent or not, there's no accounting for his taste.
