What is turf toe, and why does this one vague injury have a silly name? Before Joe Burrow returns to the field, Greg Bishop gives us a full history of the most mislabeled, misunderstood injury in sports: www.si.com/nfl/turf-toe...
How Turf Toe Became the Most Misunderstood Injury in Sports
One little body part can cause big problems for NFL stars such as Joe Burrow and Brock Purdy. Here’s why it’s more painful than its cute name might suggest.

Emma on Mo’ne Davis‼️
Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:
Mo’ne Davis Is Finally Ready to Play Baseball Again
More than a decade after becoming a Little League sensation at age 13, Mo’ne Davis is set to make more history as the face of the Women’s Pro Baseball League.

Today is my first day as a sports writer at @cnn.com. I'll be covering all sports, not just baseball (but also baseball, see you back at the ballpark come spring!) and I want to dig in especially on the weird, the niche, the nontraditional, and youth sports. So get at me with stories in that realm.

Eagles are 8-2, have basically wrapped up the NFC East, will have the H2H tiebreaker over the Lions, Rams, Bucs and Packers, and have driven their fans nuts the whole year. Special team. These are the franchise’s glory days.

ICYMI: Now is a good time to say that Jordan Davis swatting a FG is on the cover of this month’s SI, and you should buy magazines because they are cool and you can read good articles and look at nice pictures without having to be on your phone.
@conororr.bsky.social wrote a very good magazine cover story about why special teams has gone crazy this year and we put Jordan Davis’s blocked FG on a cool looking cover.
