Delighted to win Sports Journalist of the Year. Big thanks to everyone who talked to me for the pieces I entered - Kellie Harrington, Mark Robson and, in particular, Ciara Mageean.
THIS KID RAN THE FULL FIELD CHASED THE PLAYER DOWN, STRIPPED THE BALL, AND THEN RAN THE FULL FIELD BACK FOR A TOUCHDOWN.
THE GREATEST PLAY OF ALL-TIME.
😱😱😱
Everyone knew Matthew Perry as Chandler. In 2013 he sat across from a man who called addiction a choice, and he calmly took him apart. He died three years ago today.
The NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles almost killed Jalen Hurts for a Week 5 international showcase.
The full details of what happened behind closed doors in London just surfaced, and the negligence is staggering.
Before kickoff in London, Hurts was in a hospital bed until 4:00 AM undergoing emergency vascular testing. Medical staff instructed him not to sleep because sleep was considered an active health risk.
Instead of shutting down their $255 million franchise quarterback, the team cleared him to play 60 minutes of brutal, high-impact collision football on zero sleep.
Then, they loaded him onto a pressurized, 8-hour transatlantic flight back to Philadelphia.
Every doctor on the planet knows that long-haul flights and cabin pressure are the exact triggers that cause lower-extremity blood clots to break free. The Eagles spent days assuring the public it was just a "minor, superficial calf clot".
Now the truth comes out: the clot dislodged, shot through his bloodstream, and caused multiple pulmonary emboli in his lungs.
Hurts is officially out for the season, placed on blood thinners where taking a single routine tackle could cause a fatal internal hemorrhage.
He isn't just lucky to play football again, he is lucky to be alive.
When the NFL preaches "player safety," remember this moment. They ran a human being into the ground for television ratings in the UK, almost lost him to a preventable medical catastrophe, and cratered their entire season in the process.
Who inside that building signed off on letting him play and board that flight?
Happy birthday to one of Ireland's greatest centre-forwards, Niall Quinn.
Here's a reminder of his hurling talent: his point from the 1983 All-Ireland minor final, a double strike worthy of John Fenton.
@ScobieCjnr@irishkor@RacingTV The comments on champions weekend were referenced on one of the podcasts I listen to as well so certainly was not breaking news today.
