Fernando Mendoza really celebrated winning the National Championship on LinkedIn
Fernando Mendoza is 22-going-on-your-dad, and he’s heard your jokes. One of the big talking points about Mendoza during Indiana’s ascent to the natty was that he stays off social media, unlike most of his peers, having deleted every app except for LinkedIn. Telling ESPN it’s a “positive place,“ Mendoza chooses to keep people updated there — the same way a pyramid scheme selling scented candle parties might do. We…

The WNBA dropping their schedule today is super confusing
All 15 WNBA teams released a 44-game 2026 schedule on Wednesday afternoon, shepherding in the league’s 30th season and the league’s two newest teams in Toronto and Portland.

In 1986, Mike Krzyzewski took Duke to the Final Four for the first time since the 1978 team got there. Naturally, the immediate question after the championship game, which Duke narrowly lost to Louisville, was whether Duke was a flash in the pan. Was this a one-time thing, like it turned out to be for Jim Valvano at NC State and Bobby Cremins at Georgia Tech? The 1986-87 team became crucial and by the end of the…

An Anonymous DC National Guardsman Tells All
In late November, I spent several hours talking with a member of the DC National Guard. I’d met him at an event—one unrelated to the Army—and when I found out what he did, I had questions.

Duke Sues Former Quarterback Darian Mensah
When Duke signed Darian Mensah to a two-year, eight million dollar contract, it was seen as sort of a step into a Brave New World.
