Legitimately one of the most disturbing articles I’ve read in a while
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

I, for one, am looking forward to seeing posts of people claiming they "didn't vote for this" after the man very openly discussed his intentions for forming his own version of the Gestapo

It's been a long year and 2026 will (hopefully) bring plenty more with it.

But for now, I'm gonna try and take my mind off things for a few days and re-charge before the calendar re-sets.

Happy Holidays, everyone.

Finally, with college sports changing more this year than any other, I was happy to talk to college coaches and executives about how money is altering the sport for good (and yes, I loved asking Shaheen Holloway about Pirate Pesto): www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/others...
How college sports transformed into a financial arms race
Long seen as a potential obstacle for schools, the settlement presents itself as a creative opportunity to raise as much money as possible - as part of a growing arms race for cash to win recruits.

Definitely the most outside-the-box thing I've written all year, it was great to speak to some former sports mascots about what they've experienced trying to entertain the masses in furry suits: www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/others...
Battered. Injuries. And sex attacks. Inside the lives of mascots
Daily Mail Sport spoke to three veterans of the trade to find out exactly what got them into the suits and why they took them off after years of dedication.

Probably my best writing of the year came for the Big East Championship game when St. John's finally ended their drought to win the conference title.

While the rest of March wasn't as kind to the Johnnies, winning this was a special moment to witness: www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/colleg...

Ahead of the World Cup next year, the USMNT had a roller coaster of a 2025.

I was more than happy to write this piece for the London desk about how Mauricio Pochettino's strategy has started to come around at the right time: www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba...

After a slow start, it appears the United States under Mauricio Pochettino is now finally starting to catch wind in its sails ahead of next summer's tournament.

I ended up visiting California for the first time in my life and interviewed one of the greatest NFL players of his generation, Aaron Donald.

He's an incredibly kind person and was a genuine joy to speak to: www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/ar...
I was one of the NFL's scariest players... but I'll never play again
The videos on his Instagram story are astounding. Shirtless, laying back on a workout bench, casually throwing up 130lb dumbbells like they were sacks of rice.
