There's a fire rising in women's college basketball. And while America has been soaking in this storybook moment, Kim Mulkey *is* the fire -- burning for 40 years, laying waste to everything (and everyone) in her path. washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/03…

It came out yesterday, so I’m just getting started, but this by Ben Kaplan and my good buddy Danny Parkins is really excellent. Super fascinating insight into today’s NBA, a story I didn’t know, and a book you should buy, like, immediately

Two years ago, Steve Gleason - "Live Impossible", Michel & I began our journey on this extraordinary project. As he did throughout his stellar NFL career, Steve poured every ounce of himself into the mission. Honored, grateful & excited to see "A Life Impossible" come to fruition & hit stores today.

As time passes, are we taking proper care of the most important story in American sports history? Or do we use Jackie Robinson as our injustice elixir? Is inclusion our myth? Or is it our mission? washingtonpost.com/sports/interac…

Lamar Jackson (Lamar Jackson) is changing the game with his play but also with the way he looks, speaks and thinks. “I know what the f--- I’m doing,” he says, and his entire life is proof of concept. I spent a little bit of the summer with him. Gift link👇🏻 wapo.st/3z9Errs

I talked to Kliff Kingsbury about his two-year journey from the Cardinals to the Commanders. Thailand, USC, nearly Las Vegas. “I really didn’t think I was ever going to coach again. It was set up so perfectly just to ride off into the sunset.” washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/09…

There’s an old story about two men on horseback riding into a basin. They wonder aloud if a fire charred these ancient peaks. If, in fact, this is an entryway to hell. My “journey report” from Death Valley, where, unlike *some* writers, I actually went. wapo.st/3UBzy1J

A story nearly 2 years in the making. The ending had me in tears thinking about my own parents & their sacrifices for me. Thank you Kent Babb 🙏🏼
