As I’ve told many of you, the best part of this job is the relationships I’ve built: with executives, managers, coaches, players, their families, my co-workers & you.

I plan to build more relationships & get back to genuine (not transactional) community building.

See you soon.

I have kept my Substack open throughout my time at PHNX, thinking I might use it for alternate forms of writing.

Now I am free to write whatever moves me from sports to travel to parenting.

More on that soon. In the meantime, thank you for continuing to read.

What’s next? TBD. I am pursuing several potential options. In all honesty, I’ve been mulling a change ever since the Coyotes relocated… for several reasons.

That said, I will continue to write. I have to write. It’s in my DNA & I genuinely love the art of storytelling.

Thread 1/4: Apologies for my radio silence Wednesday.
It was my daughter’s 20th birthday & my dog’s 18th birthday. They deserved the spotlight.

I was one of many casualties in the week-before-Christmas ALLCITY layoffs. No more Cardinals, ASU or Utah HC coverage for me.

Cardinals' win vs. Patriots wasn't pretty, but it's a start Did you come to State Farm Stadium on Sunday looking for solace in another playoff-less season? Were you hoping the Cardinals would redeem themselves after

Kyler Murray on the Cardinals offense in a 30-17 win vs. the Patriots: "I didn't think it was unbelievable, but I thought it was efficient."

It certainly wasn't pretty at times, but maybe this win can be a building block, just like the Chargers game in October.
