Rick Reilly is going to make me a bad person.
Look, if you have no rooting interest in Sunday’s game, you’re probably going to root for the Packers because, let’s face it, you don’t care if charges weren’t pressed, you know that at minimum, Ben Roethlisberger is a big fat sleazebucket armed with shot glasses. You can’t root for the Steelers, right? Right? Of course.
But what if you’re up for being a contrarian and saying things like “Look, they didn’t have enough to go to court” or “I like Mike Tomlin’s puffy vest, ok?” To get yourself in the mood, read this diabetes-inducing piece of crap by Rick Reilly on ESPN.com that’s a flat-out insult to Packer fans saying America needs to root for the Pack because the city of Green Bay is full of total losers that have nothing else going on in their lives and how they will all die of loserdom if Green Bay doesn’t win. Ugh.
Well, Rick, your piece has definitely sent me scurrying in the other direction. Good job.
