I read a short, funny news article today. Olivier Rioux is a 19-year-old teenager who became the tallest person ever to play college basketball. He’s 7-foot-9. Let that sink in. Seven feet. Nine inches. He made his debut in a game where his team crushed North Florida 104–64, […]
What’s something you believe everyone should know. There are few things in life as satisfying as an underdog story except maybe a perfectly toasted bagel with schmear on a Sunday morning. But this World Series? It’s pure underdog magic with extra innings of heart. Who knew the Toronto […]
First impressions matter. That’s what they always say in job interviews, on first dates, and in those nerve-racking “meet the parents” dinners. But rarely do first impressions come with 60,000 people watching in real time and millions more tuned in at home, hoping you don’t choke under pressure. […]
This past weekend, the French Open gave us more than just tennis. It gave us a gritty, sweaty, glorious masterclass in resilience. Both Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz reminded us that it’s not how you start, but how you finish. And oh, did they finish. Alcaraz clawed his […]

They say there’s something magical about the number seven, but let’s take a moment to consider the curious charm of 33. It’s a number that doesn’t get enough credit, hanging out quietly in the middle of our numerical landscape. Yet, when you dig into it, 33 is anything […]
There are two types of hoarding in today’s world: the stuff that clutters your living room, and the kind that clogs up your phone with 32,000 emails and 10,000 photos you’ll never actually print. And here I am, guilty as charged, digitally hoarding to a level that would […]
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. I love watching sports. However, I don’t watch them often. I watch the big games. The Superbowl. The World Cup. The U.S. Open. The World Series. And, all the other big ones. One could say I’m a fairweather […]
