Some personal news: I’ve joined @us.theguardian.com as a soccer correspondent! Thrilled to join a newsroom I’ve long admired from afar. Still proudly based in Saint Paul, MN. Still covering the sport from all angles, on-field and off. Truly a dream job: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

Terrible, always a total magnet. His story about getting cast in Goodfellas, basically his first movie, is so charming www.avclub.com/isiah-whitlo...
