So, it's only "fantastic" when The Athletic does it?

Speaking to The Athletic on Thursday, the chairman of the D.C. Combat Sports Commission, Andrew Huff, said he was deeply disappointed with the UFC's decision

[Mark Puleo @ByMarkPuleo]

The UFC's bouts at the White House will be officially sanctioned and go on fighters' records, but the promotion will not be working with the D.C. Combat Sports Commission https://t.co/C8HxwInR6o

"People are going to tune in because they want to see me lose or get knocked out," Jake Paul told me in June.

"I’ve found in this sport monetizing that hate can be very lucrative."

Here's to JMU vs. Ole Miss for the national title in the Coaching Carousel Chaos Bowl

[Mark Puleo @ByMarkPuleo]

In the 54 days between Penn State firing James Franklin and hiring Matt Campbell, the ripples of the mangled coaching search reached every corner of the country

I wrote on the winners, losers and when Campbell will get a signature burger at The Field here https://t.co/fpQJ2Ryc3Z

Only in college football can a team have its best season in years, then suddenly find itself with a new coach days before its biggest games.

Pete Golding joins the list of coaches to take over before major bowl games. Can Ole Miss buck bleak history? https://t.co/ONX0REQCwB

"I’ve always felt guilt that I didn’t go far enough to help Chris Benoit," Nowinski said. "Because I remember he asked me to call him, and I did call him, and he did answer, but he sounded agitated and said he’d call me back.

Then he didn’t, and I didn’t chase him down."

[Mark Puleo @ByMarkPuleo]

In 2003, Chris Nowinski retired from WWE due to brain injuries.

In 2007, his friend Chris Benoit was found to have CTE after a murder-suicide.

On Monday, Nowinski was in a note left by a gunman who killed 4 and cited CTE.

"I'm still processing," he said https://t.co/LKwBJDxis7

Regardless of yet another cruelly close finish for Amanda Serrano, the trilogy with Katie Taylor was about something more than a rivalry.

It was about the augmentation of women’s boxing, and the ultimate winner was the sport itself.

Love it or loathe it, Jake Paul has become the biggest draw in American boxing, and that’s been great for him.

What it says about the state of the sport is not so clear.

From @TheAthletic: Two colleges with epic losing streaks collided in a doubleheader. Both teams ended the day as winners. “The mountaintop for some guys in sports is the championship. For us, the mountain we’ve been climbing on is to win a baseball game." https://t.co/trb4zVEYez

Just when I thought I couldn’t be more excited to dive into The Beast, I open it to see this incredible new layout.

Kudos to @dpbrugler and everyone connected to this project. Wow.
