Well, Tokyo didn't end the way we wanted it to, coming up short in the final to a phenomenal GB team. Hats off to them on a historic gold medal.
I want to take a moment to thank all of my teammates, staff, friends and family, who helped me on this journey.

Devin, coverage like yours is a massive part of how we make that shift. I'm just an American (Minnesotan!) who found your coverage during the initial crisis w/Russia. But I'm amazed by your level of reporting, it's exactly what we need VASTLY more of.
The Olympic Paralympic medal funding gap issue is really a microcosm of the broader issue.
There needs to be a collective shift on value and importance placed on the Paralympics.
Sponsors. Media. Stakeholders. Representation. This is a complete and total communal effort.

Dalvin after the Pittsburgh game said "I'd do anything for this team, anything to win". It's guys choice to not get vaccinated. But you don't get to say that when you clearly are not willing to do everything to help the team.
Dalvin will be out on Sunday, and he will be cutting it close for the Jan. 2 game against the Packers, based on the 10-day protocol for unvaccinated players.

This is a great point. There’s going to be literally 40+ senators who no one says a peep to, since they don’t actually have the courage to consider voting no like Collins.
If Collins votes YES on Kavanaugh, I have no doubt she will get way more heat than any other Senator. Yet again, a woman will largely be blamed for a decision many other men will make.
