"Story-Truth"
"Story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth."
— Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried
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.

"Story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth."
— Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again."
— Theodore Roosevelt
"You me, all of us—we break the world. So all we can do is help repair it."
— Leaves of Grass (the movie)
“Even if people laughed at the notion of goodness, if they found it sentimental, or nostalgic, it didn't matter — it was none of those things, he said, and it had to be fought for.”
