While working on my Brett Favre biography, I had to cover everything, including the scandal involving Jenn Sterger and the alleged explicit texts.In this video, I break down what I learned while reporting that chapter: what people told me, how it played out behind the scenes, and why Favre’s image barely took a hit.It’s uncomfortable — but it’s part of the story.

This is a story I've long wanted to write a book on. A team that was the most absurd cast of characters, from all walks of life, that all hated each other, that came together to win the NL Pennant. This is the story of the 1984 San Diego Padres.

In 1983, a fun, exciting & new football league was launched - The USFL. It was a viable competitor to the NFL with a bright future on the horizon. Then, Donald Trump got involved.

On this episode of Press Box Chronicles, I delve into my least favorite sport - in fact, it's a sport I hate. I hate golf.

In this episode, I dive into the history of Barry Lamar Bonds. When I was writing my book 'Love me, Hate me: Barry Bonds and the making of an AntiHero,' I had heard the stories about Bonds being the world's biggest asshole.

It's 1992, and it's my first time covering March Madness. But not just any March Madness, I'm covering MY University of Delaware Blue Hens, who went 27-3, won the North Atlantic Conference. I'm 19 years old, sitting courtside at the opening round game in Dayton, OH, as my Delaware Blue Hens - a 13-seed - take on Cincinnati, a 4-seed led by Nick Van Exel. What happened next is pure heartbreak.
