    Congrats, Moddy.

    I hope Marc Lancaster gets to slide over to the sports editor's desk at the Washington Times.

    Well deserved.

    Super congrats.

    As Joe Biden would say, this is a big f***ing deal.

    Moddy won't do it here, but I will. He posted this on Facebook today, and if he gets upset for me putting it here, he can fire me. :)


    On the move, and bear with my usual longwindedness: Thrilled to announce I will be joining SI.com as a senior editor next month. It is an incredible professional opportunity and I'm blown away by their faith in me. That said, it was not an easy call. I love it here, living in DC and working at The Times. Marc and I were brought in to revive sports and we did that in a big way. The numerous awards we've won show that. In many ways, it revived me. But this is too good to pass up - the chance to work with great people like Ryan Hunt and Andy Staples and Grant Wahl among so many others, the opportunity to reunite with FanHouse colleagues Chris Sesno and Tom Mantzouranis (they shudder at the thought), the challenge of having a key position at an industry leader. I'm shaking as I type, with joy and yes, a bit of sadness. I always thought I had one more move, one more challenge left in me. Never knew it would be this terrific. Onward!
