Ever since I created the late, lamented NASCAR sports blog “From The Marbles” in 2008, I’ve written columns and features, podcasted, and hosted video for Yahoo Sports. In the course of my run at Yahoo, I’ve traveled all over the world, covering the Olympics, the Super Bowl, the World Series, the Daytona and Indy 500s, all four golf majors, the College Football Playoff, the Final Four … and also bull riding, bar-room wrestling and marble racing, among other strangeness. My favorite story is the next one.
Some highlights:
- The RV bandit who stole a million dollars, one wallet at a time
- The city that hated its own NFL team
- Goalposts in the river, victory in the air: Tennessee celebrates huge win over Alabama
- Terminal NASCAR fan fulfills dream of going to Daytona 500, then dies in the infield
- Mint juleps and Moon Pies: 48 hours of horsepower at the Kentucky Derby and Talladega
