📚A Big Mess in Texas: Craziest Untold Story in NFL History | Meadowlark, ESPN, SI | ‘24 BASW; ‘25 Peabody nom, ‘26 Dan Jenkins Medal finalist | UGA & UNC Dad
The legendary story of 17-year-old Kobe Bryant's incredible 1996 pre-draft workout for the @Lakers that launched an icon, revitalized Showtime and changed the course of NBA history.
The @CLTAirport is a miracle of modern engineering in that it’s been under (re)construction for a decade & the more they do the WORSE it seems to get; with everything designed in a way that if the slightest thing goes wrong the entire facility collapses into chaos.
The greatest trick the selection committee ever pulled was convincing the hoops world to celebrate Cinderellas instead of focusing on their utterly incompetent seeding.
Frame by frame inside the secret to @StephenCurry30’s success: his exhaustive and acrobatic work away from the ball. An epic 226-foot, 24-second journey that was a year in the making ➡️
Our epic oral history on a single line of trash talk so brilliant & nasty it rescued Jordan’s legacy, destroyed Karl Malone’s, rewrote Scottie Pippen’s & made The Last Dance possible. Oh, & there’s Playboy models, conspiracy theories & cake. es.pn/3cBMNrc
Teamed up with @dapper_feller, @Tim_McManus & NFL Nation to produce another truly epic oral history (two words: shotput cannonball) this time on Andy Reid as he approaches the 200-win milestone.

Andy Reid on how he will use the Chiefs’ Super Bowl ring that he will get tonight: “You wear it for special occasions, or if you want a free cheeseburger, you just point right there and show ‘em that ring and you might get one.’’
A Father’s Day story for the ages: @Eagles WR @marquisegoodwin & his wife Morgan & their brutal, beautiful journey from the deaths of their boys to the birth of their daughter - a path of despair, faith, hope & joy that so many of us have also walked.
