Intro

I'm Brandon Sneed. I wrote the book The Edge of Legend, I'm a journalist for GQ, ESPN The Magazine, and ESPN.com, and I edit HeyGoodCall.com. 

I live for great stories—finding them, telling them, living them. This is a running log of all that. It's a great life. (Read this, my short take on why stories are all that matter.) 

Keep up with me on Twitter and Facebook.

The Trouble With Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

| Print ArticlePrint

“That’s always been the trouble with standing on the shoulders of giants; if we see what they see, they won’t look like giants anymore. Suddenly they’ll just be men, trying to get along, and who would want to cheer for anyone like that?” — Chris Jones, "Access Denied" in the Dec. 12, 2011 issue of ESPN: The Magazine

If you haven't read Jones's back-page column in the new issue of ESPN: The Magazine, do so soon as you can. It's quite good. (It's the issue with the cover of a bulldog French-kissing Ozzie Guillen. Yah.)
