Today is my last day at Sports Illustrated. My choice, after 8+ years and a ton of change and so many stories that meant the world to me. (With one more still on the way.) I'll have more on what's next soon but for now — what a gig! Can't believe how lucky I was to have it.

I’m using the past tense because Friday will also mark my final day as an active writer. I’ll always love and hold the craft dear, and I’ve been lucky to have this career. But it’s time for me to take on a new challenge. That’s why I’ve accepted a position in the Washington Nationals front office.

I owe you all for reading and sharing over the years. One of the toughest tasks for a writer, and goodness knows there are many these days, is finding an audience. I’ve been fortunate to have a great one across several stops in my career. I’ve never taken you for granted. Thank you so much.

Programming note: Friday is my final day at CBS Sports (though you may see my byline pop up on prewritten items.) My decision, no one else's. I’ve loved my time and my team there. Mike Axisa, Dayn Perry, and Matt Snyder were doing great work before me, and they’ll continue to do so after me.
