While sports journalism may not be on its death bed yet, The New York Times’s decision to shutter its sports desk is a sign that the sickness is spreading.
The death of Bloody Elbow made me sad. Your newsletter is now the only place I can find any POV that is both critical and knowledgable of MMA. Thanks, dude.
You were a fantastic journalist before writing for NYT and will remain a fantastic journalist without them.
Agreed
The NYTIMES is not the be -all and end -all! You will continue to do what you do best.

I've been following your reporting since your MMA days. You're one of the best out there and will find your way

Thanks, John. I'll do my best to keep up with the sport but I would be lying if I said I wasn't disheartened by the state of things right now.
P.S. BE's Nate Wilcox is still running the substack as MMA Draw. I expect he and Zach Arnold will continue to provide critical coverage
