.@BeckyLynchWWE’s instant reaction to winning the women's Royal Rumble match. espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-4…
Of all the people to go after in this space… it’s been a long time since I touched gambling content as an editor during my early days at ESPN, but David’s work has long spoken for itself.
Today was fun.

I had the privilege of chatting with @jeremyausmus about his adventures in vlogging, and giving poker fans a peek behind the high stakes curtain.
One of my favorite all time ESPN days was when New Day visited Bristol. Their collective joy radiated through anyone who even briefly passed through their orbit. Wish I still had the video of Big E, Kofi and Woods playing Mad Libs in a windowless back office, rattling the walls with their laughter.

Cool article @CardPlayerMedia just published on my @RGPokerSeries St. Louis results!
Also wanted to note few people were commenting asking how many buyins/rebuys I had…so…
@PokerNews Power Stack: 1 entry
$500 PLO : 2 entries
Turbo: 1 entry

Nicholas Rigby aka @GTO_Diaper claimed three @RGPokerSeries titles in just two calendar days at Hollywood Casino St. Louis

One of the great privileges of my career was getting to cover the ascendence of DIY, and the entirety of the NXT ‘Black and Gold’ era.
@CiampaWWE and @JohnnyGargano were among the first interviews I got to do at a WWE live event, video that’s sadly been lost to time.
Their matches against DIY in Brooklyn and Toronto remain among the best I’ve ever seen.
I can’t wait to see what comes next for Tommaso.
This story is from November 2016, shortly after NXT TakeOver: Toronto. What a ride.

Shout out to @dwpoker. Whenever I’m in a food rut, his Vegas restaurant recommendations list never misses.

Still remember playing 1-2 no limit at @TurningStone casino. Sometimes driving 35 min to play with $60 in my pocket. A lot of the time I’d leave with no money, but I would always pick up my free @CardPlayerMedia magazine on the way out. Total full circle moment for me. It really wasn’t long ago at all but feels like a lifetime ago. Really well written article from @tim00
Our top finisher in the Card Player 2025 Player of the Year race is @JesseLonis who finished with a commanding 10,807 points, 8 titles, 27 final tables, and 11.6 million in earnings!

Last time I manifested something like this, the Mets made their magical 2024 postseason run. Laying down a gauntlet for David Stearns, Mets management and @StevenACohen2.
If the Mets add two 2025 All-Stars to the roster by Opening Day 2026, my hair will once again be blue.
This Mets offseason is so bad that they’re unifying people from both sides of the political spectrum in a way that no one else can.
Shout out to whomever produced this clip, but I think there was some kind of rendering issue.
Gets blurrier as you go along.
I promise this isn't meant to be a troll, but this is the first ever instance of a sanctioned deal in a live WSOP bracelet event, right?
A champion emerges in Paradise!
Matthias Eibinger @Matthias_Eibi dominates the four-card game, earning $1.57 million and taking home one of the first trophies of the series.
Congratulations, Matthias! Who’s got next?
