The
story begins with Andrei's father, Vasily Nikolishin, in Ukraine, three decades before Andrei was born. It is a tale
of war and hideous inhumanity; of forced resettlement, Soviet gulags and coal mines; and of a young boy named Andrei born
and raised in the Arctic Circle, for years neither knowing nor understanding the test of will and survival his father had
been through. Keep reading here

On
what would be Paul Newman's 97th birthday, here's the column I wrote after his 2008 death: Paul Newman pulled up on a scooter and settled into a chair to watch the Victory Lane
ceremony after the Grand Prix of Denver. When I approached and asked him about the importance of a merger between the Indy Racing League and the Champ Car
World Series — his team, Newman-Haas Racing, competed in the latter — he told me, “There’s no sense
talking about something that isn’t going to happen.” Keep reading here

BOULDER -- A year ago, Tristan
da Silva was a rough-edged talent trying to adapt to the North American game, collegiate living and taking classes in his
second language after journeying across the Atlantic from his native Munich, Germany. That would be difficult under "normal" conditions. In COVID-19 times, maneuvering through travel red tape alone
could be excruciating, and that was just to get to Boulder. Keep reading here
January 9, 2022 A year with Nick Saban before

George Perles’ staff as a young Spartans assistant in 1983. “I thought, ‘Now this is what a college campus should be like,’”
Saban told me. “The trees. The river. It’s like a national park with a college in it.” Keep reading here

The other day,

was reminded of a scenario that could -- emphasis on could -- lead to the beleaguered Vic
Fangio keeping his job as part of a holding pattern, at least until the team is sold and an ownership change finalized. Before I get to that... Keep reading here
