Rick Reilly Arrives 4 Years Late to Write 800 Words About Colt

Oh Rick Reilly, you homespun rapscallion and master of dental analogies. You heard about this mysterious "Colt McCoy" figure down in Austin, Texas and just had to take a flight down to Texas to be the first to get the scoop on this character. Plus, as you no doubt know, they have great golf courses down there. So you make the trip, talk to McCoy for 5-10 minutes, ask him the same questions everyone else asked 1-3 years ago, but put a super-duper cutesy spin on it, and PRESTO. Time to hit the links. Job well done, chap.

Seriously though, on the whole the article is well-written; Reilly's never had that problem, though he uses his talent as a crutch, it seems. Anyway, there is one interesting part of this article when it becomes apparent that Colt flat out doesn't like Tim Tebow or all the attention he gets. SCANDAL!

Does this make Colt Judas?

The whole section on the o-linemen joking with Colt

Perhaps they should spend less time horsing around and more time, y’know, becoming good at their position.

(Don’t take me too seriously)

As many times as I heard that rumor

I honestly didn’t think that they actually were “room” mates. I assumed they lived in a house with their own rooms. How can they not be sick of each other?

I don't get the part about the cops outside of his rented house.

I agree

Was this article written in stream of consciousness?

by JohnsonUT on Oct 14, 2009 12:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

I thought...

…Someone else was out there calling his name, and the cops came and took him away? Anyways, the article feels a bit unfocused, like he was just jotting down notes. First it’s Colt’s middle name, then it’s about his girlfriend, then it’s about his plane trip. Dude, ADD much?

In-VINCE-able.

Ah, the old bashing a journalist post

Yawn

Your tongue can't repel flavor of that magnitude!!

If he deserves bashing

he should be bashed.

In-VINCE-able.

Good article

I’ve never heard of Colt being called “Pistola”, surely there’s some good Gameday sign material here.

Both McCoy and Bradford sound like extremely intelligent, down-to-earth guys that don’t take themselves too seriously. Nice. As for Tebow…

Tebow

I blame it on the homeschooling.

Tebow

Anybody know more about them “not hitting it off”? I’ve never heard of this before.

by rchorns on Oct 14, 2009 1:31 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I think they should tee off on eachother on National Television

Maybe in a BCS bowl.

Colt, release your anger!

by notsofst on Oct 14, 2009 1:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Only thing I ever heard

was that Bradford and McCoy hung out a bunch, doing all the first time in NYC stuff, but Tebow was TCFS, as he had been there, done that, got the Heisman to prove it the year before.

by ctex80 on Oct 14, 2009 1:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hmm

I guess i could see Tebow being a little uneasy around Bradford with the game they had coming up. I’ve always thought that could be a tricky situation, a la Vince and Reggie and Leinhart.

Time to fess up..

Which one of you after reading this article googled Colt’s girlfriend?

by Hookem4life84 on Oct 14, 2009 4:32 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

I did

And I already knew who she was, but I had to make sure she was as hot as I remembered. Turns out, she was. Terrible reporter, though.

In-VINCE-able.

You really have to feel for McCoy and Rachel Glandorf. The fact that she had to email a site like Deadspin and ask them to remove a private photo that some moron posted on Facebook. From her email she seems like a very kind, considerate person and she has to put up with all of that. She has my respect and sympathy.

cool story coming up...

i was in a hostel in london over the summer. met some dude from oklahoma, he also went to ou. he also played running back and linebacker on the same high school team as bradford, and they apparently remain friends and stay in touch somewhat. then he said that bradford told him how tebow came off as a pompous dick when they met at the heisman awards. colt’s probably justified in not hitting it off with tebow. so uh, yeah, thought i’d mention that
