He did it! Dylan Sampson bursts up the middle for the touchdown and shouts out his buddy Simphiwe with the “YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW WHAT I KNOW!” When I was with Dylan this week for our GameDay feature on their friendship he told Simphiwe he’d do it. So cool.

NASCAR moves at 200 mph. But when someone is hurting, it stops to comfort. The NASCAR Family -- and it is indeed a family -- wrapped it arms around the Busch family, who Sunday sought comfort from grief at the place Kyle captivated us all. The racetrack. For SportsCenter, an essay on a 200 mph remembrance.

There are six career Grand Slam winners. There are four repeat Masters winners. Only Jack, Tiger and Rory are on both lists. I wondered, then, how Rory McIlroy views his place in history. Great perspective.

Immediately after USA Hockey won gold, they used the platform to honor Johnny Gaudreau. A beautiful tribute to a fallen brother. His kind spirit is always with them. They carry him every day. Our ESPN piece on the life and legacy of Johnny Hockey, from one year ago.

I went to Oxford to sit down with Ole Miss Football quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. Rise to prominence. His coach leaving. Beating the Dawgs in the Sugar Bowl. Fighting the NCAA. Hell of a year. In describing the emotion of the legal back-and-forth towards his sixth-year of eligibility, he said: "It was like a slow death. Super long. A weight was lifted when it was finally cleared."

The pregame ceremony at the Sugar Bowl was beautiful. Roman -- a New Orleans icon -- and I were quite moved. The moment of silence for those lost and hurting. The National Anthem. The cheers for our nation. You pray for the right words to convey the emotion. We did our best.

At the height of his opioid addiction, Scott Cochran told me he was snorting 50 pills a day. OxyContin and then fentanyl. As a strength coach at LSU and Bama, and then ST Coordinator at Georgia, Cochran won 8 total National Championships. He was elite and respected in the bright lights of big time college football. But in the shadows of solitude, he felt like a fraud. Now Scott Cochran tells us he’s nearly 19 months clean and back in the game — as a head coach for the first time — with a message: Recovery is real.

He did it. Rory McIlroy is a Masters Champion. Late Sunday night after he slipped on the Green Jacket, after the dinners and the speeches, he sat down with me for a conversation about the burden he’s carried for so long, and the void he filled.

Impossible to believe then. Impossible to believe now. 25 years have passed. After all that time, still impossible to define Dale Earnhardt — a common man who did uncommon things holding a steering wheel, and whose everyman appeal inspired us all. SportsCenter essay. #3Forever

Yeah, the Bills lost on MNF. But life lately for Buffalo QB Josh Allen reads like a fairytale. Rarely is a pro athlete -- much less the NFL MVP, married to a superstar actress -- this vulnerable and honest. 17 is a real one.

Want to be inspired? Watch this piece. Michigan Football running back Blake Corum grew up on a farm in Nowhere, VA, with impossible dreams and indomitable will, forged on the land. Now he’s an All-American, and a pillar in the community. He exemplifies everything good about sports. I am better for knowing him. 2-Up 2-Down, young buck. For the V-A.
