Did Rick Reilly Crib from iSportacus?
Posted by Johnny Goodtimes on November 11th, 2009
Thanks to alert reader Dave for pointing this out. Rick Reilly wrote a column today that seems to mirror one of the most popular posts on this site, and the first thing that pops up when you google “Awful Sports Tattoos”. The list I composed on June 1st and Reilly’s column contain a lot of similarities. Here’s the tale of the tape.
Kenyon Martin’s neck tattoo…in both columns.
Stephen Jackson’s praying gun tattoo…in both columns.
Jason Williams White Boy tattoo…in both columns.
Shawn Marion’s Demon Bird Mothballs tattoo…in both columns.
Melvin Costa’s I Have a Small Penis tattoo…in both columns.
Granted, they are awful tattoos and iSportacus isn’t the only place you’ll find them, but it is the only place I am aware of you’ll find them in one place. I am flattered that Rick was apparently reading some of my stuff and using iSportacus as a resource but I wish he’d show a little love to the site. Then again, I am fairly certain that ESPN has a company wide policy of not linking to anything that is not ESPN related, so it might not be his fault.
