We're excited to announce that @WWEBigE’s story “Sour”was selected by Nif Muhammad for The Year's Best Sports Writing 2025 — out October 7 from @TriumphBooks. Revisit his story: “I’d give anything to be able to look in the mirror now, see 9-year-old Ettore staring back, and just reach out and hug him. I’d give anything to be able to talk to that kid at a time when I know how desperately he needed it. But I can’t….. so I guess I’ll have to settle for talking to my old-ass 39-year-old self. That’s a guy who’s been through a lot. And when I see him in the mirror next March, I think I know what I’ll say. I think I’ll tell him, ‘DON’T YOU DARE BE SOUR. CLAP FOR YOUR—’ No, I’m kidding. I’ll tell him what he already knows: It’s OK to be sour. It’s OK to get frustrated, or sad, or down on yourself — or even wake up some mornings and not want to be yourself. It’s OK to have bad days. But just keep having days. Just keep going. Just keep waking up and trying again. Because every day won’t be like that, I promise. And tomorrow is a new one.” playerstribu.ne/BigE
