Periodic reminder that I’d love it if my wonderful followers clicked the link below so we can keep in touch once this site becomes dust. I send emails 2-3x a year to that list. 2026 Olympics are right around the corner 📝🎙️🥇
I’m trying to spend less time mindlessly scrolling here, though I still post and use a few targeted lists. If you have been feeling the same, here are two other ways you can still keep in touch with me. ➡️ mitchgoldich.substack.com
The league is losing so much by having like 10+ teams go from open air to domes between 2015 and 2035
I get that the Eagles will probably do some sort of dome for the Linc or the next stadium and, a lot of the time, you’d probably prefer that as a fan in the stands, but on that rare occasion? Well, you’d be treated to one of the greatest moments of your whole life.
*triumphantly telling my wife that a book I bought 6 years ago is suddenly relevant to my work, so I’m finally gonna read it and this is why I need to have so many books*
Plugging again, because we put a lot into this series all week. I’ve seen other outlets run similar 2000-2025 teams, but I really liked our process and think we have some interesting names listed. The only All-Century team that mentions Eric Weddle, Jason Elam AND Larry Izzo.

Very well done story on Embiid, in which he opens up quite a bit. Worth reading in full before reacting to some of the quotes that will probably get attention. espn.com/nba/story/_/id…
🐙 I am delighted to share that I’ve now had a conversation with this year’s Octopus of the Year award winner, who has graciously accepted the honor. Story to come later this summer. Fifth year in a row I got my top choice. Someone will join these luminaries.
Sun vs. Fever at TD Garden. My first time seeing Caitlin Clark in person. (She is popular.)
Russell Wilson says he's still got it. So, I met him in a New York City park for a game of catch, trying to decide if we should still believe him. si.com/nfl/russell-wi…
The coaches had me preparing to be down 0-2 in the count at all times, even on picture day. For good reason.
The choke up is epic.
Recently came across this at my parents’ house. I, uhh, did not win many HR Derbies.
