You and Joel absolutely crushed this podcast, Bryan. Thank you for what you do, and how you do it.

A pitcher, a priest and another wonderful story @byalexcoffey. Please forward to Pope Leo XIV if you have his contact information. He would like it. So will you. I like this writer. 😍

Jane Gaudreau needed a project after the loss of her two sons. She found one in the Gaudreau Family 5K. As she grieved the tragic loss of her sons, Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, she got some advice. What she hopes will follow is a gift for children at her beloved school that would make her boys proud.

Shortly after Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau died, their mother, Jane, got a text from Kelsie Snow.

Snow, who lost her husband to ALS in 2023, gave her some advice.

"Find a project."

Now, Jane has one, in the Gaudreau Family 5K. She said it's given her more purpose: www.inquirer.com/flyers/gaudr...

I never knew any of this. I love this story. This writer is very good.❤️

Rory, Glory and The Power of a Short Memory Rory McIlroy didn't win the Masters with a golf club. He won it with his mind.

"When you think about it, what is a short memory other than an act of self-forgiveness? You screw up. You own it. You re-set and you move on. You make a decision to free from the past, and resolve to do better."

Ciarlo Liples is paralyzed below his hips. He has become a ‘li’l bro’ to La Salle’s men’s basketball team Liples, a wheelchair basketball standout at 14, has forged a bond with the Explorers. “As much as he’s benefited from it, there’s no question who has benefited more,” coach Fran Dunphy says.

This is a story about Wampum, Pa., friendship, deep roots, rampant racism and a misunderstood Hall of Famer. @byalexcoffey.bsky.social delivers again. I like this writer.

On Friday, Ryan Quigley, a victim of Jan. 1 terror attack, was sitting in his wheelchair alongside fans when the Eagles O-line saw him.

They lifted him onto the bus.

@byalexcoffey.bsky.social stories always hold up well, especially when she has a gifted editor.

Eloise Brown was born in 1922, which makes her older than the football team she loves. Please read about her in another stellar piece @byalexcoffey.bsky.social in the @inquirer.com. I think @jaketapper.bsky.social needs to get Ms. Brown on CNN.

Happy Valley Heroine The Penn State football team plays Notre Dame in the CFP semifinals Thursday. If the boys can channel the guts and grit of Katie Schumacher-Cawley, they should be in good shape.
