The AthleticA year ago, just as his podcast was blowing up — before he’d partner with @TheAthletic and win a Pulitzer — I profiled @PabloTorre, the Harvard grad who bombed the LSAT, couldn’t quit journalism, then grew tired of ESPN’s constraints. www.nytimes.com/athletic/632…
Extra timeouts. Free challenges. Awful spots. Fuming coaches. One ref — a diehard Saints fan — fired hours before reffing a Saints game. Replacement refs could be on their way back. Was 2012 as bad as we remember? Hear it from the refs and coaches: www.nytimes.com/athletic/720…
Did the Bucs get the steal of the draft? Do we really believe Sean McVay? And a look at the Raiders’ plan to sit Fernando Mendoza behind “a mature adult.” What stood out from the 2026 draft: www.nytimes.com/athletic/723…
