Instead of a "my best stuff of the year" post, I just wrote a little thing about my SI cover story from December (which I now realize I forgot to actually post here). Sign up for my sparingly used mailing list for occasional updates and stuff like this: https://mitchgoldich.substack.com/p/my-first-si-cover-story
My First SI Cover Story

Plus an old project is back online.

My eighth annual Week 18* Sunday Night Football Flex Power Rankings! Once again I preview the season by focusing on the last week of the regular season. I love this silly column and won't stop until I get it right one day. https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/09/01/nfl-schedule-week-18-sunday-night-football-flex

If you followed me over from Twitter, you know about the octopus. For my annual Octopus of the Year Awards, I spoke to Jalen Hurts about the Super Bowl and ran through the year in 🐙 https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/07/26/jalen-hurts-nfl-octopus-award-super-bowl

My contribution for the MMQB's Bad Takes Week: You will hate it when they start using a chip in the ball to determine first downs https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/07/21/nfl-first-down-chain-chip-ball-bad-takes-week

It's the return of Bad Takes Week at the MMQB! We haven't done this since 2019. We'll be publishing our worst takes all week. I wrote a little intro, and will link to them all here during the week. I'll also have a real column coming in a few days. https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/07/17/mmqb-nfl-bad-takes-week-2023

Given the debate over Giannis's comments on success/failure, here's my opus on Ringz Culture for Sports Illustrated from 2018, which I think holds up.

On winning and losing, titles and tanking, lucky breaks and thin margins, with input from some champions: https://t.co/Fy44WUtZxE

My latest for SI/MMQB: I had some fun asking a bunch of current Eagles what, if anything, they remember about Andy Reid taking the team to the Super Bowl when they were kids. Spoiler: Not much! https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/02/09/eagles-chiefs-andy-reid-2005-super-bowl-players-remember

My latest for SI/MMQB: I spoke to players and season ticket holders about moving the AFC/NFC title games to neutral sites. I hope the NFL does too, because I think it’s a deeply unpopular idea https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/02/03/nfl-neutral-site-conference-championship-games-unpopular

Andy Reid:

✅ 17 10+ win seasons
✅ 14 trips to the divisional round
✅ 10 conference title games
✅ 3 SB appearances
✅ 1 SB win

✅ 5th all-time in wins (247)
✅ T-2nd all-time in playoff wins (20)
✅ T-4th at 109 games over .500

I ranked all 16 possible Super Bowl matchups and wrote about what the top story lines would be for each of them! Had a lot of fun putting this one together:
