Fauxlympics

Okay...this very well might be my last post about these Olympics.

A little while ago Rick Reilly (former Sports Illustrated writer) and Dan Patrick (former SportsCenter anchor) swapped teams: Reilly nows writes for ESPN The Magazine and Patrick does a trivial interview/profile for SI each week. (Each was a separate transaction.) Somehow, I think each team lost out in the trade.



Regardless, Reilly wrote a humorous (and deflating) and revealing piece on the censorship and image-making of the Beijing Olympics.
