One day last year, @RealSeanBrosnan showed me a room in Newbury Park where he made an insane promise and a running revolution started. That story became BEYOND FAST, and today I’m so grateful it’s out in the world, on shelves and in stores. simonandschuster.com/books/B…

Wild politics story out of Oregon, where a candidate for state house of representatives has not campaigned, raised funds, spoken to the local Democratic Party chapter, and no one seems to have spoken to or seen her. So, why is she on the ballot? eugeneweekly.com/2026/10/22/…

Amber Alert

Of the 4,177 votes cast for Amber Smith in the 2026 primary election, none of those were cast by Smith herself. That’s because she did not vote, nor has she voted in 23 of the last 24 elections....

This is an incredible project: NBC News asked parents to check their kids' YouTube history during school hours — and the results show kids are spending huge chunks of the day watching videos that have nothing to do with learning nbcnews.com/specials/hooked-…

How YouTube junk is infiltrating classrooms

Schools wanted educational videos. Students got clickbait. A first-of-its-kind analysis reveals how students are drawn into a platform that keeps them scrolling during class.

A chart showing what one second grader in New York state watched on YouTube over two months in 2025: 511 videos, the majority music videos. Just 32 were educational.

Welcome to the new NBA season. All anyone in the league wants to talk about is how teams are — or are not — spending their money nbcnews.com/sports/nba/nba-n…

The New York Knicks are the defending champs — and the face of the NBA’s biggest dilemma

The Knicks are the latest team to brush up against the “second apron,” the salary-cap rule that’s meant to instill parity across the NBA.

Very pleasant surprise to see that our @NBCNews story on Duncan Robinson and his family was chosen as a notable work in Best American Sports Writing 2025. Very grateful to the Robinson family, and @MirinFader for selecting it. nbcnews.com/sports/nba/nba-d…

An NBA star's family fought for years to help their brother. Now they want to help others.

Detroit Pistons guard Duncan Robinson lost his brother to suicide following a schizophrenia diagnosis. By launching a foundation, Robinson is trying to "turn pain into progress."

As the coach of one of the NFL’s most successful franchises, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin was charged with building championship-caliber teams. In his free time, Tomlin was building something different: an elaborate cityscape in the video game “Minecraft.” nbcnews.com/sports/nfl/mike-…

Mike Tomlin is a Super Bowl-winning coach. His real passion might have been ‘Minecraft.’

For 12 years, the former Pittsburgh Steelers coach has been devoted to building a single map in the video game. On Wednesday, he showed it off for the first time.

One ALDS series will feature teams with the 26th- and 30th-ranked payrolls. As the sport heads toward a potential lockout over competitive balance, are these playoffs showing it already exists? With @RohanNadkarni: nbcnews.com/sports/baseball/…

MLB wants a salary cap for competitive balance. Does the playoff field already have it?

This Paralympian has two goals: Win medals and give away $500,000 to her teammates
