Before I left The @latimes in March, a Times friend told me 'Your next job shouldn't be the job you've always had.' Wise words! And affirmation of a decision I'd already made: After a long career at two great places to be a journalist, it was time for something different 🧵

WNBA fans, you’ve got yourself a deal — and you’ve got stars like Breanna Stewart, Nneka Ogwumike, and others to thank. Fresh off negotiations, we chatted with @breannastewart about music, March Madness, and the W’s new era. 🔗 » offball.ws/3Nttzfi

This site is going to be mad at me for posting a link, but it's not every day you talk to an athlete for 15 minutes and leave stunned by how ineffably cool and interesting they are. I had that moment with Aaron Gordon a few days ago. Read if interested! newsletter.offball.news/p/meet-your-he…

Meet your heroes... if your hero is underwear model Aaron Gordon. His chat with @lil_buts proves it — he might be the most interesting man in the NBA. 🔗 » offball.ws/4sjuk9G

In his 20s, LeBron had us all just wanting to play more basketball In his 40s, LeBron has us just wanting to play more golf

Spo on Tuesday night: "I apologize to absolutely no one. Period."

Coming out of school, I turned down an agate job at the L.A. Times. Needed to write, see? Figured I’d get there soon enough. Twenty-six years later… I’m writing sports columns for the L.A. Times. Surreal. I love L.A. and I love sports. Let’s rock: 🔗latimes.com/sports/lakers/…

@mollyhc @dcsportsbog Great news, great hire

Now it's time for the really good news: I'm joining ProPublica as an investigative reporter covering higher education. I start March 16. Stay tuned for my official email address because I absolutely want your tips.

Gold medal to the people that helped make this happen behind the scenes too

Less than a week to go until the application for the Rich Passan Sports Writing Scholarship closes. We're looking for the best college sports reporters in the country and can't wait to give out the inaugural award along with the National Press Club.

@BaileyCarlin Yes but when will you be launching Westeros Centel?

Got the idea for this account and sent the first tweet less than 24 hours ago. 50k followers overnight. Insane. Perfect intersection of my interests. Valar Morghulis.

Stoked for the golf world to congregate in Pacific Palisades but the community is still reeling after the fires. And not just the Palisades—all around LA. We cooked up this PALISADES GOLF CLUB shirt to raise money for Steadfast LA, an amazing (and nongovernmental) organization that is helping rebuild our communities. We will donate every dollar we bring in past our costs to Steadfast, and my guy @Chadmumm has generously agreed to have Pro Shop match whatever donation we make. We make. Grab one, they’re sweet, amazing cause! ***A portion of proceeds benefits the Steadfast LA Foundation. Donation equals sales proceeds minus Pro Shop Media’s cost of goods. Campaign runs 2/16/26–3/31/26. No minimum or maximum donation. LINK: shop.skratch.golf/products/palis…

Robert Duvall, James Caan, and Al Pacino can’t get through this rehearsal for The Godfather without cracking up. Enjoy.

This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.

I'm reading through a @WhatsApp chat with the Sanders family that @OffBall_News is hosting and Deion is reviewing all the ads. Levi's and Uber the early leaders in the club house. Used to love that USA Today article that ranked the best ones the Monday after SB every year.

@ArashMarkazi Looks a lot speedier than Monday’s!

Super Bowl game day commute from the NFL Media Center to Levi’s Stadium.

🚨🥇 My Day 0 Olympics viewing guide! We are BACK! I’ll make these for the next 17 days. Last time around people found them really helpful. The Winter Olympics schedule is more manageable than Summer, but if you like them please help share.
