Wideout Larry Fitzgerald is one of the best players in NFL history. There’s no doubt about it—the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver has put together one of the best statistical careers of anyone at his position.

We’re just taking an educated guess here, but we think Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Rye is going to be the single-malt drinker’s favorite.

Somehow they took all of those characteristics, and still made a balanced and drinkable whiskey. MORE: The 50 Best Whiskeys in the World Read article...

Since our immediate futures are one big question mark with the COVID-19 pandemic right now, many of us are clinging onto small moments of joy. The meticulous, meditative quality of chopping vegetables. The oddly scientific methodology of making pour-over coffee and sourdough starter. And for the active set: running. That sense of community has been thwarted, no doubt, but we urge you to embrace the oddities of running in the age of COVID-19....

It can be difficult to plan out—and dress for—the day’s activities, from working at my desk to working out at home. Do I need something soft and comfortable, or something that’ll wick sweat and keep me from smelling?...

In 1869, geologist and explorer of the American West, Major John Wesley Powell, passed through what is now Canyonlands National Park. After traversing the depths of the canyon walls, the miles of slickrock spread between spires, buttes, and arches that look like the entrances to an alien world, he described an indescribable place to those who hadn’t tread the world of rock themselves. “The landscape everywhere away from the river is rock cliffs of rock, plateaus of rock, terraces of rock, crags of rock—ten thousand strangely carved forms,” Powell said....

He’d never successfully ridden a pedal bike in his life until that moment. This was five minutes after I finished assembling his new Strider 14X bike with the pedal conversion kit. I’m an old-school guy, so I must admit, the first time I saw a Strider, I was a bit skeptical....

I’m not sure when it happened, but it happened despite my best intentions. I got old, or at the very least, older. I don’t actually think 35 is all that old. But when I was a teenager it sure sounded like it. I don’t act old. I mean, I’m not wearing sweatpants with suspenders in public. I don’t confiscate the neighbor’s football if it’s thrown over my fence and hits my lawn....
