One day last year, @RealSeanBrosnan showed me a room in Newbury Park where he made an insane promise and a running revolution started.

That story became BEYOND FAST, and today I’m so grateful it’s out in the world, on shelves and in stores.

Once wrote that Landry Shamet playing well as a role player could be key for a team with title ambitions. I was just seven years too early https://t.co/fhqZiYzBQ7

USMNT goalie Matt Freese is known for his cerebral approach to the game. Makes sense: he comes from a family of renowned scientists. He also attended Harvard and once wrote a research project on penalty kicks. Profiled Freese for @NBCNews: https://t.co/tNXzjB6QxU

If you want to attend one of the opening matches of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, hotels and tickets are still widely available.

But depending on which match you want to attend, it could cost you roughly the same amount as a month of rent in Chicago. https://t.co/tOmwVRXo1u

And it looks like Stephon Castle will need to wait a few more weeks before he can focus on soccer. Because, in case you didn't know, he's a minority owner of a pro team -- and he's only 21.

Oh you, wanted to read more about the Spurs?

Here's @TimRohan on Keldon Johnson, real-life cowboy:

Back in the fall, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson told @NBCNews what made Victor Wembanyama different:

Wemby "wants everything to be fair, which really empowers us as coaches to coach him harder, to hold him accountable."

An old story that's still applicable:

The Spurs are headed to the finals, and the longest streak of parity in NBA history has extended. There will be a new NBA champion for the eighth consecutive season: https://t.co/8fUYRBCEvN

Mike Breen says he would be “lying” if he said there weren’t emotions that come with calling the Knicks in the NBA Finals, but he learned from his mentor Marv Albert how to handle this situation.

Said Marv: “He’s a terrific guy, and everybody loves him.”

Here's my story, ICYMI: https://t.co/8jptSV8qGo

Thanks to @jgault13 and @letsrundotcom for having me on this week's podcast to discuss what I heard and saw last weekend at the Enhanced Games: https://t.co/zPQ80hcmiC

[Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif]

@ThinkingTrack I wasn't there for that one, but I wouldn't doubt it! Best thing about Eugene IMO is the diehard T&F crowd always recognizes and rewards the crazy performances

[Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif]

I was sitting in the temporary stands near the scoreboard at Hayward Field for this race. I only heard the stadium get louder than this finish once ('08 Olympic Trials 800m).

25 years ago today: Alan Webb breaks Jim Ryun's legendary US high school mile record by running 3:53.43 at the Prefontaine Classic.

Even with super shoes, super spikes, and bicarb, no US high schooler has come within a second of Webb's record.

After a drama-filled 2022 World Cup, Gio Reyna is back on Team USA for 2026. Has he reflected on his last World Cup? What did he learn? How has he grown? Spoke to Reyna about his surprise roster inclusion for @NBCNews: https://t.co/BNCfW9DxFF

This Finals run is actually Jalen Brunson's second with the Knicks. If you count the time he was 2, hanging around New York's locker room.

“I’ve been knowing Jalen since he was a baby,” Patrick Ewing said.

“Why not us? Why not us?” Mauricio Pochettino said. “It’s important to really believe. In this sport, the first thing is to believe and then to work really hard to try to earn what you want.”

The inaugural Enhanced Games took place over the weekend in Las Vegas, where aging Olympians competed for large payouts, most of them after having taken cocktails of performance-enhancing drugs. https://t.co/ug8jvr4Gqe

[Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif]

How Enhanced Games will judge its success was something discussed all weekend in Vegas — leaders talked about athletes setting world or personal bests. But will customers buy in? Here’s where their stock price sits since going public May 8. Will be interesting to track.

[Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif]

I went to the first Enhanced Games, where drugs don’t get athletes banned. They could get them rich. https://t.co/8jptSV8qGo
