A wrongfully convicted football fan is running out of time. So Pablo Torre travels from the free world to death row in Texas, to sit with Charles Flores for the one hour a day when he’s not in solitary confinement. To learn what it feels like to watch the NFL through the bars of a super-max prison. To understand why Charles continues to await execution, a decade after the real killer went free. And to find out how the road might go on, before it’s too late.

He is the accidental creator of prediction markets. So how does James Surowiecki feel about Kalshi, Polymarket and the wisdom of crowds, now that even the market for a missile launch can be manipulated? On the eve of the Super Bowl, he re-traces the rise of the casino in your pocket, debunks the cult of the CEO… and forecasts the disturbing possibilities when insider trading maneuvers all the way to the White House (or at least The Dark Lord of the Pentagon).

How did Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera’s Ubiquiti technology end up in the hands of Vladimir Putin’s military? And how did we get from Ja Morant, Justin Timberlake and Kevin Hart… to drone strikes on Ukraine and an illegal trade war in Russia? Hunterbrook Media’s Sam Koppelman breaks down how his reporters investigated from a bird’s-eye view, to a high-end Moscow dealer, to undercover calls back home — and asks what the hell Adam Silver’s gonna do about another billionaire scandal hiding in plain sight.

Golf can be for the people. But politics has come to the tee-boxes of Washington, D.C., as Donald Trump literally dumps his East Wing dirt on public courses, with a gilded mission to re-shape the people’s fairway — and a historically Black home of the sport — in his own image. Garrett Morrison of Fried Egg Golf explains the rubber-stamp meetings, pimp-my-ride addendums and bros in the ear of a president chasing faux-luxury waterfalls, A.I. logos and… asbestos?

Is 11 minutes actually the perfect amount of hyper-connective, violent action?

Deflategate. Sign-stealing. Lance Armstrong. The competition is stiff, but no dynasty comes close to trying as hard to get ahead as the Norway ski-jumping team. In a soup-to-nuts collaboration, The Athletic’s Matthew Futterman reports from the nether regions of the Winter Olympics on a national nightmare, a Zapruder tape and a confidential investigative report that will redefine cheating in sports — no matter how impossible it… seams.
