We overuse the word hero in sports, but with Jim Abbott we don't use it enough. Southpaw, our new @E60, was directed and edited by @MikeFarrellESPN. It premieres July 13 on @ESPN.

@Hebsyman Both.

@JeremySchaap Did Dick cover that as a print journalist or TV?

Interesting souvenir. Commemorative envelope my father mailed to himself from Fischer/Spassky match in Reykjavik. Hadn't seen it until last night.

You’ve always dreamed of playing Augusta National? Here’s my first hand account of what it’s like. Warren Smith’s hole-by-hole diary after shooting 75 at the home of the Masters. #Masters #Golf foxsports.com.au/golf/the-maste…

RIP the great Davey Lopes. He was very kind to this 8-year-old back in '78 in Dodgertown.

The @PeabodyAwards just announced that Southpaw, the @E60 doc directed and edited by @MikeFarrellESPN, has been nominated in the documentary category. Of the 41 nominations announced today across three categories, it is the only content from the world of sports. From the announcement: Southpaw: The Life and Legacy of Jim Abbott (ESPN) Jim Abbott, born without a right hand, defied the odds to become a celebrated baseball pitcher, achieving fame in the Major Leagues and notably pitching a no-hitter for the New York Yankees in 1993. His journey, marked by struggles with being a reluctant role model, continues to inspire and resonate with disabled and limb-different individuals worldwide, making "Southpaw" a powerful narrative about ingenuity and identity.

What does the future of golf look like? ⛳️ In a new episode of 'The Sports Reporters,' @JeremySchaap talks with ESPN golf analyst @ESPNCaddie & author @AlanShipnuck Watch: bit.ly/4tDuFo9 #TheMasters coverage available all week on ESPN: bit.ly/3O7gqc1

Dan Hurley's journey--from his mental health crisis as a player at Seton Hall--to the pinnacle of college hoops: youtube.com/watch?v=U2gAXv…

It's easy to crush Dan Hurley for his on court behavior--but it is far less important than the work he has done to champion discussions about mental health in sports. And he's been doing that work for 30+ years, with rare candor. We sat down with him back then, when he was at Seton Hall, and even as a 21-year-old he was remarkably self-aware and vulnerable.

Part 2 of my series on the founding of @ESPN is out... "We didn’t know it at the time, but that NCAA contract would soon lead to the creation of March Madness. We got the broadcast rights for every game of the Men’s Basketball Tournament up to and including the Elite Eight round for only $5,000 a game. Nobody had ever televised all those games before, and a new cultural phenomenon was born." @ESPNFrontRow @ESPNPR espnfrontrow.com/2026/04/part-2…

With Hurley and Izzo coming up later, I say whoever's team loses has to take out the garbage. youtube.com/shorts/w6Cfc3r… via @YouTube

Really proud that our E60 film on @jabbottum31, Southpaw, is nominated for Outstanding Long Documentary at the 2026 Sports Emmys. @JeremySchaap

The famed TV movie critic #GeneShalit -- who taught me so much about good movies & bad puns -- is turning 100 years old tomorrow. The age of Gene's moustache is currently unknown.

"Every single thing in my life revolves around hockey." The leading scorer in the nation heading into the men's hockey tournament is true freshman Ethan Wyttenbach of @QU_MIH. Calling him a rink rat doesn't begin to describe his commitment to the game. Our story: espn.com/video/clip/_/i…

Tomorrow at 6pm Eastern on ESPN2. "Game On: Journey To The NCAA Championship" The Trailer: 👇🏼
