Tom Rinaldi is not just one of the best storytellers in sports, he's one of the best storytellers. His journalism is intensely human and has the ability to reach down into powerful places. His new project, a six-part narrative podcast for Fox Sports, is no different. Rinaldi and his team explore the powerful life and stunning death of Ed Thomas, a legendary high school football coach in Parkersburg, IA, who was murdered by a troubled former player. Sacred Acre is propelled by intimate interviews with those who knew Thomas best. It chronicles the life and fallout from loss of life and what those can mean for an American community.
