Happy Birthday, Robert! May your day be filled with more excitement than a last-second buzzer-beater and fewer surprises than an unexpected overtime. Your insightful sports journalism has always been championship-level—whether you're dissecting boxing ringside or penning sharp op-eds for USA Today, you've consistently knocked it out of the park.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as watching your favorite underdog team defy all odds. Keep inspiring us with your wit, wisdom, and timeless commentary—because let's face it, in the game of life and journalism alike, you're definitely MVP material. Cheers to another winning season ahead!
