Back in 2017, I caught this 30-inch weakfish on my birthday. Great fight, alone, on the rocks. I haven’t caught one since. For fishermen up and down the Jersey coast, the big tide runners are ghosts. They are gone. One said theiir declines is the biggest mystery in marine biology.

A Pennsylvania man earned VIP status at FanDuel by wagering large sums on sports bets. He developed a ruinous gambling addiction. The company rewarded him with enviable perks — champagne, Super Bowl tickets and, we found, a personal video from Phillies star Bryce Harper.

I wrote about Rachel Entrekin, who beat every man and woman in a brutal 250 mile race across Arizona Why are so many women beating men in ultras? Top-end speed is not the be all, end all in the multi-day-running endurance scene.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2026/...
