My sports entourage would have a guy who could cook


Life of Reilly
Espn.com/by Rick Reilly
Hey, NFL bonus babies! Make sure your new entourage follows these simple rules.

OK, listen up! The reason I've gathered every single member of every American sports posse, cru and entourage here is to say one thing:

What are you hammerheads thinking?

You're a disgrace to hangers-on! Posses have never been poorer! We've got a whole bunch of newly-minted NFL millionaires about to start hiring and you guys are useless as a prison travel agency!

I'm talking to you T-Bone and FlipCup and Cool Ride! You get to live in the mansions, drive the Lexxes and sleep with the cast-offs in exchange for one, simple service: Keeping your superstar athlete from ending up in the next 50-million-hit YouTube video. My God, you A-Rod guys are practically lighter fluid! Really? You let him kiss his reflection in front of a photographer? I don't care if that's how he starts his morning!

So, everybody get your hands up. We're going to say the Pledge of the Posse. Repeat after me:
I collect all cell-phone cams!
I always drive!
I don't take nights off!
I carry the gun!
I pack the bags!


I'm not a huge Reilly fan like Muench but I did find this column interesting. Not interesting enough to put on the blog immediately but I know I'd get around to it. It echoes a lot of the things I've always said about celebrities getting caught doing dumb things. How Lindsay Lohan drives anywhere is beyond my understanding.

P.S. - How is Stafford posed as Drama and not Vince in this photo? Kind of makes no sense. On another note I hope next season of Entourage will be better than last season. I really do.
