Once in a while, I’m humbled to come across people who shift my entire perspective on life. Peter & Aaron Berry - the whole Alabama men’s wheelchair hoops team for UA Adapted Athletics, in fact - will do the same for you. Check out my new Sports Illustrated piece 👇

Psst, Alabama Athletics & Alabama Football: A remarkable sports/human story is happening in Tuscaloosa with UA Adapted Athletics wheelchair basketball. Especially the Berry brothers (Peter Berry). Use that Bama football juice to elevate these guys. Sports Illustrated: si.com/college/2023/0…

Wheelchair basketball is hoops meets football meets rugby, a full-contact bash where fingers are slammed, hands are bloodied and players spill to the ground—only to pop right back up. And Alabama’s Berry brothers are out to dominate, writes Reid Forgrave trib.al/jP0AGyo

This disturbing piece, by Andy Mannix & Renee JonesSchneider, is one of the best pieces of investigative narrative writing you’ll ever read. Bonus: The Minnesota Star Tribune took down paywall for this story. Take some time this weekend and read it.

Here, summer is "trauma season." I spent trauma season embedded at HCMC's emergency room, the busiest ER in Minnesota, to document the trauma of dealing with increased trauma of the past few years. The Minnesota Star Tribune: startribune.com/inside-hcmc-mi…

Thoroughly enjoyed getting to know GothamChess in reporting this story for NYT Magazine. The dude has helped change perceptions of chess, and opened up chess to a whole new audience. (Including my 7-year-old kid.)

My first impression of Bronny was that he was tiny. Then I spent the combine trying to see him as clearly as I could. What emerged was a picture of a young man in full — w/a large name to carry, yes, but perhaps the composure & grit to do it successfully: cbssports.com/nba/news/insid…

I spent last week driving around rural Nebraska: the cowboy town where Tim Walz was raised, the tiny farm town of less than 300 where he graduated high school. Jessie Van Berkel & I wrote The Minnesota Star Tribune on how small towns shaped Democratic VP nominee: startribune.com/formed-by-nebr…

Going to the Minnesota State Fair Friday? Stop by the The Minnesota Star Tribune stage at 2 p.m. I'll be interviewing two people from Change The Outcome, a Minnesota organization combatting opioid and fentanyl abuse among youth. Powerful stories, useful for parents.

He was the primary source for the Steele Dossier. It turned his career - and life - upside down. Please read my first story for Rolling Stone, about the years-long saga of Igor Danchenko.

Reposting my first story for Rolling Stone, about Igor Danchenko’s work on the Steele Dossier and how it wrecked his life: Outed as a confidential FBI informant, acquitted at trial, unable to find work.

On hearing LeBron in past was a little frustrated w/AD: Been talking about this since at least 2023. It is, like Bronny being drafted by Lakers or Redick hired as head coach, just another important piece of context to try & figure out what LeBron knew or didn’t about the trade
