Amazing: #Ravens TE Mark Andrews saved a woman’s life today! During a flight from Baltimore to Phoenix. A woman suffered a medical emergency and Medical personnel on the flight couldn’t find a strong pulse. Andrews, who is a type 1 diabetic, got up from his seat and said,

Carissa Moore is one of the best surfers of her generation. At 31, still capable of world championships, she is (soon) stepping away from competition into something harder, scarier. My thanks to her for such honesty in the face of the unknown.

There was always something magical about a new SI in your mailbox. Who graced the cover? What did @ReillyRick say? @SteveRushin’s Air and Space. They had the best writers - who happened to chose sports as their canvas. End of an era. Heart goes out to those who lost their jobs.

When I texted @GrantWahl to see if he would write a postscript for his LeBron "Chosen One" story, Grant responded immediately, like always, then sent it that same day - then followed up to make sure it worked. He was a pro's pro. We'll all miss him.
