I’ve moved on to equestrian, which I accidentally discovered is on TV right now. There’s an American riding a horse named Tornado 🐴πŸŒͺ️

Pet of the Month was one of my favorite recurring bits. That one was unfortunately canceled by building management, not my choice.

I believe they have a strong track record of being unbiased, but I do enjoy that the timing makes it look like I would rather quit entirely than admit the Mets might be better then the Phillies

Personal news: After 162 consecutive months, dating back to September 2012, I am discontinuing the PHLNYPR.

No longer sparks joy. Has been true for a while. I feel unburdened.

Someone pointed out to me that the compressed schedule may make it easier for MLB to allow its players to participate

Huge Olympics stakes for the WBC over the next 3 weeks.

It’s also crazy the Olympic baseball tourney will only have 6 teams, with half of them winning medals, when other team sports have much larger fields.

That is the same as 2021, though baseball had 8 teams from 1984-2008.

Mitch Goldich’s mailing list | Mitch Goldich πŸ™ | Substack Hi, it’s Mitch. Writer and editor for Sports Illustrated, octopus inventor, etc. This is a mailing list, not a newsletter... big difference! Just a way to occasionally update people about the projects...

Finally, while I have your attention: If you’d like to support my work, I’d appreciate if you sign up for my mailing list so I can be a little less dependent on all these platforms.

I only use it 2-3x a year to share my favorite projects. Hope to have more cool stuff soon: mitchgoldich.substack.com

Sports Illustrated's Daily Rings Sports Podcast Β· Updated Daily Β· SI’s daily podcast covering the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics. Hosts Mitch Goldich and Dan Gartland cover every sport, discuss top storylines and preview what you should...

Our final episode will be what we’ll remember from every sport. You should check it out so you’re subscribed before LA28.

I’m biased, but I think we do a great job balancing the big headlines, random silliness and niche sports that all make the Olympics special: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I also heard from tons of people about my daily watch guides, and it was very cool to know I was helping people enjoy the Olympics more.

And a special thanks to my podcast listeners. I loved hearing from the people who truly followed along every day with me and @dangartland.bsky.social.

People of Bluesky: I want to give a sincere thank you to everyone who made the 2026 Olympics so much fun ❀️πŸ₯‡

The sports community on this site has grown a ton in the past 6 months or so, and I found so much good stuff over here every day 🧡

Jack Hughes's broken teeth

Fantastic close-up shot of Jack Hughes’ busted teeth from @sportsillustrated.bsky.social’s Erick Rasco. The full gallery of Rasco’s best photos from the gold medal game is just amazing www.si.com/winter-olymp...

Sudden death OT for the Olympic gold. Huge stakes for the teams, and whoever scores the goal is about to become an all-time legend.

The Olympics do a very good job of starting a game when they say it’s gonna start, and some of the pro sports leagues could learn a lesson there.

Sweden beats Switzerland to win women’s curling gold, and here’s your final schedule update:

115 medals awarded, 1 more to go.

USA-Canada for men’s hockey gold is the only thing left on the board πŸ’

Imagine if somebody somewhere had never watched a minute of the Olympics, and then today they said, "OK, I'll check it out" and this was the first thing they saw.

I have been locked in on sports schedules for three weeks, but just had a total jump scare when I got a push alert that a Phillies-Blue Jays spring training game has started.

I was completely unprepared for that one.

⚠️ Hopefully our final weather update of the 2026 Olympics, but the women’s freeski halfpipe final has been moved to 4:40 a.m. ET Sunday.

Big event, adds some juice for the final day if you’re up at 4:40, but *probably* means fewer people will see it.
