@KVanValkenburg i forget which chotiner interview it was but his interviewee was rambling on something and his follow-up was “…what are you talking about?” and it’s probably my favorite ever question asked in a q+a.
@MLSist a week ago youtube fed me a reaction vid of some gen z’ers listening to the blue album, and they loved it, but they were perplexed by “in the garage” bc they didn’t really understand why liking x men and DnD would be something to have to hide. and christ i felt old
It's really important that you read this entire piece, but particularly that you read Chris Richards on... Chili's?
On how Chili's is... what makes us American? Why am I crying right now?
I'm ready to go to war
Honestly, if you played like 1 exhibition game per decade in Hartford and donated the revenue to a CT organization we'd probably shut up a bit. Until then, you wear this as a costume and feel a pride that isn't yours. It's ours.
Everyone knows how talented Abbey was at his craft, and I absolutely loved working with him on projects. But you should know his character was second to none. I consider myself blessed to have called him a friend. My condolences to his family. This hurts so much. RIP @kammakaze.
This has been so hard to deal with. Abbey was much more than co-worker. Was a friend. A business partner. A man who invited me into his family as the godfather to one of his children.
We did countless hours of great work together and had so many big plans for the future at MMA Junkie and The Bohnfire. Can only hope to make him proud and try to fulfill them.
Nothing more painful than thinking of his family and four kids and how the won’t get to fully experience what a light he was in this world. I hope everyone reading this can offer support in this time of need on the GoFundMe.
Love you brother. RIP. ❤️
Thanks to Ariel for sharing this. Abbey was a pro, one of the very best members of our team, and a true delight to work with. I am shocked and devastated. If you can chip in to help his family, it would mean a lot.
If you’re an MMA fan - and certainly an @MMAJunkie fan - you’ve no doubt enjoyed Abbey’s work over the years. A GoFundMe page has been created to support his family: https://t.co/TJDAI2BbQK
They say we have no “footballing culture” but right now in America, there’s a team named “Sharktopus FC” that just earned a replay of a loss because the ref for their last match turned out to have once been a player for their opponent’s second team. 🇺🇸

I've been thinking a lot about Scottie's comments this week, and I'm not sure anyone has viewed them the way I did, so if you don't mind, I want to share why they resonated with me:
