Michigan Penn State Falling ass backwards into a better coach 🤝

For some reason The Athletic sent me to Hot Springs, Ark., with a set of hundred-year-old golf clubs and a spot in the field at the 2025 U.S. Hickory Open. 😬 Here, for your holiday, is what happened. www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Now the playoffs really begin. Roll Wave. Go Dukes. Smash the patriarchy.

Could not fathom a greater place to shittalk your way out of as a winning visiting fan than College Station

The biggest story in college sports this weekend? These Oakland basketball uniforms are ELITE.

Good stuff from @brendanmarks.bsky.social on Joe Klatt being a dipshit (my words, not his) www.nytimes.com/athletic/689...

Last couple of days have been pretty terrible, so here’s a picture of the best dog in the world

If he regained possession, that means he lost possession. If he lost possession, that means it couldn’t have been a catch in the first first place. No?

New on @theathletic.com, w/ @gabbyherzig.bsky.social Trump threatens to seize control of Washington, D.C.’s public golf courses www.nytimes.com/athletic/688...

“The Sojourn” is a baller name for a student newspaper

Column: FIFA’s pricing strategy for World Cup is not only terrible for foreigners who want to travel, it also treats U.S. sports fans as FIFA’s personal ATM and excludes many domestically from a sport which is still in a growth phrase in the U.S. www.nytimes.com/athletic/688...

Highly recommend this one from @gabbyherzig.bsky.social. On Charley Hull, an image often open to interpretation, and who’s really in the picture www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...

LATEST: Sherrone Moore, who was fired by Michigan for having an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member,” remains in custody at Washtenaw County Jail today after being detained by police on Wednesday. More details ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...

Welp, made the mistake of visiting the other place for five minutes. Now carving my eyes out with a spoon, again.

Generally agree on the fired ex-nfl coach being a hazard to avoid. But here’s a name that feels weirdly interesting. (Preface: I know nothing and this straight out of the ass.) Robert Saleh?

Ok, Michigan fans, need to know. Who is the dream hire? And who is the nightmare hire?

“Michigan coach Nick Sirianni” has a ring to it.

Never ever (ever ever) more apt

Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised. Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

From @theathletic.com: In an epic career, Lindsey Vonn always did it her way. Right before her final Olympic season, the iconic American Alpine skier was brought back to where it all began.

This is penance.

As a former podcaster who once delighted in regularly pointing and laughing at Indiana Athletics, I hope the fine folks of Bloomington, Ind., enjoy getting absolutely shitfaced tonight. Well earned, Hoosiers.

LOLO-H-I-O

Do it.

YOURE GODDAMN RIGHT

sorry there only can be one

Holy balls. That is 1000 out of 1000 a safety.

An urgent call for a meeting, change of travel plans, plane delay and a late-night hoops divorce that shocked the NBA world: Inside the stunning Chris Paul exit from the Clippers, with @lawmurraythenu.bsky.social and @joevardon.bsky.social , at @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/686...

Young Curt Cignetti knew he was right. Old Curt Cignetti proved it. Great read from @brianchamilton.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

Really late here, but this is a lovely read, with some incredible visuals, and well worth a few beats of your time. kudos to @elitan.bsky.social & photog Brian L. Frank www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/u...

Sitting here in a dog park thinking on Michigan State’s looming hire. What’s the better move? Smith’s buyout + hiring a big money established winner like Pat Fitz, Brian Kelly, PJ Fleck, whoever. OR Smith’s buyout + hiring up-and-comer/FCS stud/elite assistant + ex money for NIL

DeBalls on this guy

Eagles offense currently 17th in EPA/drive and 26th in success rate. Here are all the times over the past 20 years the Eagles offense has finished in the bottom half of the league in both EPA/drive and success rate: 2012 (Andy Reid fired) 2015 (Chip Kelly fired) 2020 (Doug Pederson fired)

The apologist nonsense from the broadcast for this Eagles offense will not stand.

Sometimes everything works and the right writer is in the right position to tell the right story. You love to see it. Elite stuff from @cjmoorehoops.bsky.social going all-access as Michigan officially announces itself among the national championship contenders. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

Terrific job by NBC on that John Madden tribute.

Holy halftime. 10/10.

It’s time, Jason Kelce.

Victory. www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

From @theathletic.com: You probably know a lot about Mick Jagger; the Rolling Stones singer is a cultural icon. What you might not know about Jagger is that he was a pioneer of streaming sports over the internet. Specifically, cricket.

Enjoyed this as someone that grew up in Escanaba, down the street from dueling Packers/Lions houses. As in, two neighbors painted their *entire houses* in their respective team colors, complete with mounted plywood logos.

Wrote about football. And people. And the wonderfully weird world of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Happy Thanksgiving. www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

i don't know anything about how Pulitzers work, but send them all to Brian Phillips

Having the thought, "It's annoying when they're bad, so it's arguably more annoying when they're this good," right as the camera cuts to a mean-mugging Nick Sirianni. <eye twitches, teeth grind>

AJ Brown. Touchdown. In Kelly Green. At Dallas.

sorry, did the Giants just send Russell Wilson out for the OT coin toss? are they trolling him, themselves, or all of us?

love that this can apply to just about anything he does
