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.)

These People are Better People than Me ($45,000 edition)

| Print ArticlePrint

A family found $45,000 cash in their attic. Then they tracked down its owner and returned it. If, some day in the future when I buy a house, and I find $45,000 in the attic, I probably will not do that. So contratulations to the Ferrin family. You are officially better people than me. 

What if you found 45 grand in your attic and you knew it wasn't yours? Keep it? Give it away? Find its original owners? Just keep it, and justify it by figuring you must've had amnesia from when you hid it up there and the time you got it?
