A year after Greg Newman's career ended his mind began to betray him. The ensuing two decades were a tragic slide. Unhoused before his death, Greg's "imaginary world was more real to him than this.” On a family’s search for the answer they long suspected.

He ‘found his place in the world’ through football. But CTE would lead to 15 years of suffering

I asked @edsbs if he would let me profile him for @TheAthletic. Luckily for me, and for you all, the buffalo man obliged. On the maverick writer of college football.

I caught up with Jason Shelley. The QB-turned-safety told me he never thought about transferring after the move: "I went head-on at it. I couldn’t think of anything else. I’m a Utah man. I didn’t really think anything of it. I just went straight to work."

Quarterback-turned-safety Jason Shelley is learning on the fly, but ready to ‘put some pain into...

Clark Phillips III, the No. 4 ranked corner in the country by 247 Sports, chooses Utah. Phillips was committed to Ohio State since summer. Massive get for the Utes.

Meet Sarah Fuller, whose amazing path to Saturday morning in Columbia, will be a highlight of a college football season unlike any other. Profile of Vanderbilt's SEC-winning goalkeeper turned kicker with @joerexrode.

Anytime you have 4,000 words run on the ebbs and flows of a decade, you just can't include everything. Here is a quote from BYU's Kalani Sitake that continued on for nearly five straight minutes interrupted that sums up the ethos of this piece. theathletic.com/2898716/2021/1…

I sat in a downtown coffee shop in Small Lake City to write this profile of Jazz coach Quin Snyder 48 hours after Utah’s season ended. Then, because of course he did, Snyder walked in the front door.

Why might free agents actually join the Utah Jazz? They love coach Quin Snyder.

Jordan Wilmore’s family is in town for his first home game as a Ute. The specialized shirts are a hit on the Utah sideline.

I got to spend an hour with the NBA's premier shit-talking sharp-shooter Joe Ingles (now maybe the league's Sixth Man of the Year?) and he was exceptionally transparent about embracing the anxieties of parenthood and, well, life. When a jokester opens up.

Joe Ingles’ breakout season with the Jazz is because now, as a father first, ‘It’s just f—ing...

Mike Leach called me at 11 p.m. Wednesday night. We talked for 40 minutes on his walk home in the dark. I wish I could properly provide a tantalizing tease here to entice a click, but our talk went so many damn random ways. Me and Mike Leach talking life:

If you call Mike Leach to talk about football and Utah, you’ll talk about apple beer instead
