I’ve never heard a life story like this. Mark enduring insane hardship with his son, and then decades of extreme pain, but as he describes, the pain so impacts his brain that he also becomes a sort of business terminator during this period of pain. I’m not sure how he survived all of this. I don’t even know what the lesson is, because I honestly think I would have crumbled. All I know is I hunt for remarkable stories all the time, and this is one. Thinking of Mark's motivations and skill to now lead Oscar is completely fascinating. This is a unique one. I hope you enjoy it.

Mickey Mantle was obsessed with the idea that he’d die young. When Wright Thompson asked Michael Jordan if he ever felt the same, something clicked. It sparked one of the greatest sports profiles ever written.

It’s Masters week AKA the time of year James Colgan casually writes the profile of the year

Be a person stories happen around There’s no one I know who meets this goal more than @MichaelOvitz Listen to this for the stories, but also to be inspired to go live the same sort of life of adventure and momentum

16 years ago, Michael Lewis wrote about an NBA player who changed games without showing up on the stat sheet: Shane Battier (@ShaneBattier). The story was called "The No-Stats All-Star." Now, Lewis joins Battier and the Glue Guys to share insights from decades of storytelling. Here are the top 5 takeaways from the legendary author:

@Joel_Haas1 @DailyCollegian @psufootblog Great coverage this season

Well, I’ve officially covered my last football game as a student at Penn State (assuming I graduate). Couldn’t have asked for a better two seasons to cover. Forever grateful to THE @DailyCollegian for giving me the opportunity to do what I love and make memories I’ll never forget - and thanks to everyone who followed along. Job’s not finished, though. More stories, podcasts, tweets, etc. in the pipeline for the coming months.

Coach K in the NBA? He says NIL might have pushed him to leave Duke for a pro job. "Right now, it is a pay-for-play sport. If I'm gonna do that, I'd rather do it at the highest level."

Think I'd (begrudgingly) listen to Coach K talk about paint drying, but this interview on leadership and the state of college sports was unreal. 12/10. highly recommend.

A leadership masterclass

@psuaffleck Going to need a commitment day style hat selection video

I’m going to the Natty!!!!!!

@natey_ice Watch the guy who snaps the ball

@PaddyCotter What makes you say that? Looks like a 2 qb double pass?

Been sitting on the tarmac at LaGuardia for 3 hours. After a series of uplifting announcements from the captain, he finally got on and muttered: “I’m going to level with you folks, this is a dumpster fire.”

Not a Cheeto guy, but this goes in the physical ad hall of fame.

My man, Texas Legend @ColtMcCoy, convinced me to get off the course and get back to work. I’m joining @UnderdogFantasy to breakdown the top QB and WR prospects in this years draft. Gonna be fun!

I spent the better part of the last year chasing down José Andrés, the man behind the Masters Champions Dinner menu. About a month ago, I found him on a golf course and everything I knew changed. This is the story of the Chef trying to save the world: golf.com/news/jose-andr…

If you're into food, golf and high-level altruism, boy, does @jamescolgan26 have the story for you. Terrific stuff here on chef to the (golf) stars, Jose Andres. Carve out some time. golf.com/news/jose-andr…

@s_fleming47 Way to go man!

Extremely fortunate for the opportunity to produce Gil's Arena. What an incredible & surreal year and we're only getting started 🚀

@wdesautelle Quick reaction machine!

Say it with me: Beau Pribula is QB1

just saw the UD commercial

@jasonrmcintyre Who are you??

Announcer in this Notre Dame / Ohio State game … who is this guy? not familiar with voice and energy is weirdly low.
