It's Been 24 Hours Since Michael Phelps Announced He's Going To Be A Father So That Can Mean Only One Thing, Rick Reilly Tweet!

Checks watch, sees it’s been roughly 24 hours….

BOOM

I don’t even know what this means. Is it a fat joke? Is it a water joke? Fucking Reilly.

I have an announcement though, I think I love Rick Reilly again? Hear me out before you get mad. He’s just so predictably awful it’s somehow become fun. Every time anything happens in the world Rick Reilly waits about 24 hours, workshops his terrible joke, then bang, hits you with a haymaker on twitter.

Aqib Talib pokes a Colt in the eye on a Sunday afternoon. Monday afternoon, Rick to the rack!

Fred Jackson gets in a car accident, world thinks he was drag racing with Marshawn Lynch, we find that to be untrue, 12 hours later. YABOOO

And the list goes on and on. In a world where everything has to be rapid fast and jokes become unfunny in a matter of minutes, Rick Reilly is still chugging along going at his own pace. You’ll get that Rick gold when he’s good and ready and not a moment sooner. I somehow have resorted back to 13 year old Big Cat when I always read the Life of Reilly in the back page of SI first. I’m team Rick again.
