Thrilled to win the prestigious Sigma Delta Chi award for excellence in sports reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists! “Mismanagement of the Year” exposed widespread waste & mismanagement among nonprofits founded by Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award winners — some of which spend less than 50¢ of every $1 on actual charity. But it also cited notable success stories like @JJWatt (99¢ of every $1 to charity), @LarryFitzgerald (fiscal sponsor provides 501c3 support for a small fee) & @EliManning (partnered directly with a hospital). It outlined best practices via @CWTips & other experts. And it presented possible solutions to longstanding issues, which should include better nonprofit education & vetting from the @NFL & @NFLPA. The series inspired former #WPMOY @AnquanBoldin to cofound @SportForImpact to educate athletes & their families about responsible sports philanthropy. It has support of NFL VP @TroyVincentSr, a former #WPMOY himself. “We can all do more to better educate,” he said, “for sure.” 🙌 @spj_tweets @azcentral spj.org/sdxa23.asp

Chuck Norris didn’t die. He leveled up!

@ProFootballHOF @theo_mackie @AZCardinals @Panthers @NFL @Novartis The then-St. Louis Cardinals tied the New York Giants 21-21 in the first Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 11, 1962, more than a year before the museum opened.

It’s official! The Arizona Cardinals @AZCardinals and Carolina Panthers @panthers will open the 2026 @NFL season in Canton in the Hall of Fame Game presented by @Novartis. Tickets go on sale Monday, March 9, at noon. profootballhof.me/4ssaNDV

To everyone that supported me and showed kindness to my family and I during my time in AZ, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I wanted nothing more than to be the one to end the 77 year drought for this organization, I am sorry I failed us. I wish this community and my brothers nothing but the best. I am no stranger to adversity, I am prepared for whatever’s next. I trust in God and my work ethic. I truly believe my best ball is in front of me and I look forward to proving it. Godspeed. 🥋

Charity experts praise NFL after Bobby Wagner wins Walter Payton award azcentral.com/story/sports/n…

Congrats to Bobby Wagner & the @NFL for naming a #WPMOY award winner who DID NOT found his own nonprofit! Wagner partnered directly with hospitals to establish a fund to raise money in honor of his mom. 26 of the last 30 winners had started a tax-exempt entity. 👏👏👏 @Bwagz

Similar story as the ACU football players caught human smuggling in “Kind of like Uber,” except this is a teacher, the price for a ride is up to $3k per migrant & he’s facing criminal charges. via ⁦@AlexandraHardle⁩ @azcentral azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

EXCLUSIVE: Seven years ago police in Canada issued a warrant for Anthony Oucharek’s arrest on charges of sexually assaulting an underage student. For the last two years he’s been the principal at a Phoenix Christian school. See what he told me @azcentral azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

100+ were arrested for DUI around the Phoenix Open, including a woman found to have a BAC of 0.2, technically a super-extreme DUI under Arizona law, @raystern reports. She was pulled over around “10 or 11 am” & “was on her way to the Open.” 👀 azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

Clearly, Dolphins-Cardinals.

Diggs spinning the ball after that catch. 😂

Building a legacy in the community. That’s important for us, @AnquanBoldin, and @SportForImpact. Today SFI honored the Cardinals and owner Michael Bidwill with a Legacy Award. 👏

Will Lewis was too busy to join the call to tell his staff he’s destroying the @washingtonpost sports department yesterday … but he did have time to walk the red carpet at NFL Honors here in San Francisco today. Amazing.

Nonprofit corporations are not just “UNICORNS FARTING RAINBOWS” The #NFL announces its 2025 Walter Payton Man of the Year tonight. Dak Prescott was the last winner (2022) to found a tax-exempt entity that was compliant with federal & state nonprofit laws. #WPMOY #SuperBowl

@kentbabb My heart aches for you & your colleagues. Here’s to living the dream. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

When I was in college, my dream job was to someday be a sports writer at The Washington Post. Unlikely, considering this podunk South Carolina kid couldn't even get an internship. I still remember opening the white envelope with a letter that basically said, NOPE. But in 2012, I got the call. Amazing. Truly. "That's the *liberal* newspaper, isn't it?" my mom replied. I was unbowed. Today I'm feeling many emotions, among them incredible gratitude. Most people never get their dream job. Let alone spend 13 1/2 years using sports as a way to explore identity, failure, grief and reinvention. Poverty, gun violence, masculinity and the wealth gap. Those topics are vegetables, blended up in a sports smoothie. For years I've known I was living the life of kings, and I told everybody I was a Postie till the place got wise and kicked me out. I went to Monaco and the White House, dined with Kobe Bryant, smoked waaaay too much weed in Seattle with Shawn Kemp before getting tangled up in some Christmas lights on the walk back. I remain undefeated in footraces against Roy Williams, un-run over by Marshawn Lynch's Tesla, un-sued by that jolly little coach in purple. Got to write about my own dad last year alongside @DaleJr and process some stuff I should've a long time ago. Two books, a million memories, a ton of friends. Today, alongside a lot of those friends, The Post decided to kick me out. But not before I had an insane amount of fun, told a few good stories, and walk away still feeling like the luckiest guy on earth. I was part of the most incredible team in sports journalism. If, on that day that internship rejection came, you'd have told me that I'd get 13 1/2 years here, shit, I wouldn't have believed you for a minute.

#Broncos tackle Garett Bolles wins the NFLPA’s Alan Page Community Award & receives $100k for charity. His GB3 Foundation is a donor advised fund with the Community Foundation of Utah, a nonprofit collective that spends 95¢ of every $1 on charity, per federal tax records. #WPMOY

“These organizations are not just touchy, feely, kumbaya, unicorns-farting-rainbows kind of entities.” — Andrew Morton, a nonprofit attorney who represents four #WPMOY nominees, says social media is “missing the larger point” about Travis Kelce’s charity azcentral.com/story/sports/n…

Of Sean McVay's former OCs, Kevin O'Connell has the worst win percentage (.632) as a head coach. That would be the best win percentage of any Cardinals HC since Norman Barry, who coached the team from 1925-26. Now, one trend has to break. azcentral.com/story/sports/n…

We crossed into an alternate reality where Bill Belichick is not a first-ballot Hall of Famer & Shedeur Sanders is in the Pro Bowl.
