Rick Reilly reuses line about rooting for the favorite
If you’re going to try impressing people with lines and jokes on Twitter, just make sure you’re always coming off with fresh material. Otherwise you risk getting exposed like Rick Reilly.
The famed ESPN writer tweeted on Saturday to discourage people from rooting for Kentucky in the Final Four by comparing it to rooting for George Clooney to get the girl:
Rooting for #Kentucky to win the Final Four is like rooting for George Clooney to get the girl. #GoWisconsin

It’s not that funny, but nonetheless, it’s a line. And it’s one that he has used in the past:
Apparently Reilly went to the Andrew Brandt school of joke-making. Time to get a new line to beat like a dead horse, Reilly. Or better yet, start ripping off PFT Commenter for jokes again.
