The only 🐐 here is you my man. No writer is more purposeful, thoughtful, no person more fulfilling to work with. Brian deserves the best
This has been in the works. Things change. So it's time to depart SI after 9+ years. ❤️to @rynhnt, @adamduerson and the GOAT @AviCreditor. If you clicked the link or bought a copy, thanks. If you have any career advice, also thanks. We'll jump and we'll see

My man didn’t even wait, like, two hours to unveil it. Couldn’t even get home from a flight in time to watch before having it ruined. Unforgivable. A 12 on this scale
Really would like you guys to weigh in here. Scale of 1-10, how egregious were @AndyGray35’s actions in a group text regarding “Succession” spoilers?

An elite talent with a clear future in and around the NBA … writing a masterpiece of a mag cover story on Victor Wembanyama. Way to go out on a high note, @JeremyWoo
Well, I’m excited to share my final piece for Sports Illustrated, which happens to be this month’s cover story - I went to Paris to find out what makes Victor Wembanyama tick. On the making of a generational prospect:

A lot of people who truly excel at what they do and genuinely give a sh*t about their work were let go today. I’m lucky to have worked with and learned from them for so long at a place we all dreamed about as up-and-comers, and here’s to all of us landing on our feet.

After roughly a decade at Sports Illustrated, it’s over. Would’ve preferred to leave on my own terms and not be red carded in the middle of paternity leave, but here we are. Proud of what our ⚽ team achieved, incredibly fortunate to have worked with the very best in the business

"Seven goals, three assists and one trophy lift later, a strong case can be made that Messi has no peers, now or in any era." @brianstraus on Lionel Messi's iconic World Cup ending, Argentina's title and the sheer will to overcome https://t.co/0BGZXvvZsd

After an epic title bout, Messi was carried around, hoisting the trophy in the air as players and fans sang together in a storybook closing to a month in Qatar.

If nothing has derailed France yet, then a flu-like virus and rumors about Karim Benzema's sensational return won't on the eve of the #FIFAWorldCup final. @brianstraus on a title match that goes well beyond just Messi and Mbappé https://t.co/bHDUGCS6Xw

The Messi-Mbappé focus is deserved, but Sunday’s title bout is about—and will be decided by—so much more.

"@KMbappe is now the flag carrier for his generation, for the banlieues and for a France still wrestling with old divisions. He embodies youthful potential, ambition and pride." @brianstraus on the World Cup and cover curse defier, who is acing his encore https://t.co/tWcunJlBdX

As it turns out, their World Cup meeting four years ago wasn’t quite the passing of the torch it seemed to be. The rematch in the #FIFAWorldCup final is a loaded one for Messi, Mbappé and their respective national teams. @brianstraus sets the scene https://t.co/TbgcLBG2LO

“We fulfilled the beauty of Qatar, with our hands, with my hands. But there is no happiness for us. None.” As the World Cup comes to a close, @GregBishopSI tells the tales of those who built it—the migrant workers mired in debt, traumatized by death https://t.co/T5XCfHB1wI

Before Messi and Mbappe and the lavish hotel shaped like crossed swords, there were waves and waves of migrant workers. As the World Cup is settled, remember their story.
