I was gonna give you a phone call, but it seemed like that was being done sufficiently for the next immediate while. The podcast fucked me up a bit, quite a bit. I had an email I thought was a prank or bad joke, I probably banned a few folks over it for telling me to get on it. Seriously, too close to fool days, residual drug trolls with great calendars and timing, it's the job description. If T.J. "De-Santa" (take away the presence) can't hold his junior high meds on the podcast, I ain't calling in and trying to hold my shit together, not with these. T.J.'s the man, better man than me. All the respect in the whirld T.J. You did a great job. I followed the podcasts off and on, but thought we hit the jackpot. It was Kelly and Michael without all the steroids and enthusiasm. I loved it.

Seriousness aside, something's lost. I won't harp or preach but I will pine and was only waiting for the right amount of booze, and I realize that day will never come, this'll have to do.

Jeff, I owe you a lot, a fuck lot, you don't know. The join dates say 2001, but I put those there after we switched shit over. I said Jeff, I think we're gonna have to lost our postcounts and people went bananas and had to start over. Thankfully there we're only a few who bitched. You weren't one. And we banned the rest.

I came around around 1998, I didn't know what screenshots were but I printed out paper and still have the shit. I had a machine gun animated Mexican guy avatar, Juggernaut Heroin had milkman, he changed to Juggernaut Nihilism after Layne Staley died of a heroin overdose. He got a hold of me a few years ago and is now a professor somewhere in the British Isles married to a beautiful ultrasuccessful goddess
, ...just wanted to tell me. If you read this, hit me back Jugg. Never thought I'd hear from him again. J-Garden, my great friend, Rex, Crip, Fatbobby, 8thSavage, FTYD, JKDShoot, Punk, Vod, Conrad, Bruce Lovely, Animal, Coleman the Ape, Kagemusha, LilSurferGirl, Sabertooth, MachadoBjj, Kimo, Calf, etc.,

Just wanted to say, you've change my life and provided a lot for me. And I don't think a lot of people understand or recognize the guy you are. You and Garrett contacted me, for what I was happy to do for nothing, and wanted me to be part of the team. As many times as we talked, you always trusted my judgement, you told me, 'whatever you think." You hired people you trusted and you let them do their thing. For what it's worth, I thank you for that, I tried to get the greatest guys here and not fuck your website and trust up. I'm sure that will be up for debate, but ...we'll leave it open just the same.

Two things I want to say, the rest doesn't need to be said, you'll get the picture it's not an anomaly.

It was a rough year, very early on, and there were deaths and outrageous slings and arrows, I was on the verge of losing some footing in the give-a-shit department. I was checking my mail at the post office, and there was one Christmas card, from some Podunk Garrett place in the south. It wasn't a card/card, it was a letter/card, and it said. Tom, we couldn't do this without you, happy holidays, and some other things. With a check for $2500.00 I almost lost it in the Post Office, it fucked me up, I bought an old lady and her neice each a book of stamps. That's Jeff and Garrett. Make you happy to be here. I'm very privileged and thankful to have been allowed to be part of your website. Never asked for money here once, you just wake to a random raise. It somehow parlayed into this.

Jeff, I love you, brother. Thank you so much. You and Garrett and the gang for letting me molest your forums all these years.

Call me when you get a chance.

I did heroin before reading this. Quite the enhancement.
 
Touching post Mr. Fist.

It's funny sometimes how much an internet forum can mean once it's gone.

Worse is when a forum lives but the community dies. Ruins the memories.
 
He should be inducted into the UFC HOF!

There was a time MMA was dead, Sherdog basically saved it from being buried permanently! It was really the only source for MMA stuff on the entire internet

It's a shame fatso Dana and the UFC try and take credit for everything after begging for years fans buy PPV to support the fighters when it was only to line the pockets of the UFC

lol

p.s I love sherdog,Thanks to Jeff for creating an amazing site.
 
Time was slipping away and as much as I don't mind shooting the shit here and there, I genuinely didn't know what to do with this shit. An immediate phone call, lost in the batter. An email, may as well be a stamp. Too much time is too much time is too much time. To paraphrase the bard, a mediocre heartfelt attempt today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. I didn't forget.

Again, thank you Jeff. For those who haven't seen it, and if it's still available, there was a Tank doc. with Jeff I highly recommend.

And I'm on a shit laptop aids ridden with viruses so bear with me. If anyone would like to contribute, songs, pics, anything, feel free. I'd request a youtube of Jim Bridger by Johnny Horton. Thanks in advance to the man.
 
I've never had one interaction with the guy, not one. And I've spent way too much time here. He sold the website right about when I joined, almost 10 years ago now. If he was ever a presence here, & he obviously was, it seems he disappeared off the forum map entirely back then. So the saddest part is, he might not read your letter here Chief.

Still, a man with a face is better than a faceless corporation.

so Cheers to the founding absentee fathers, deadbeat dads though they now may be, I'm sure they loved our motherboards once.
 
Love letter on Sherdog?



 
Well, I have interactions with him. He's got a lot of irons in the fire. I get that he's not Betty Crocker in the forums these days but he let me establish the damn things, and trusted me with this end. Any fault or shit thereafter would be mine. The gravitas and recognition and world travel and grass roots and photos and contacts stems from a single guy. Just a thread of personal acknowledgement to a wheel-turner. I get that inter-action is a two-way street, but there would be no street and no action to talk about, Henry Miller once said he could spend the rest of his life shaking hands or he could write books. He does a podcast, is a very accessible guy, if he sold ten years ago, he's never shit on anyone I've known, he hasn't shit on me. I'm not canonizing him, or asking to send donations or a bronze statue for the dome. J.K. Rowling has theme parks, her name's on the stamps, she doesn't greet everyone at the door. Not rallying troops, a simple personal statement of acknowledgement and gratitude on a stage he provided and allowed me look over, as his face. He'll read it.
 
I don't know much about what happened and I'm stupid but I think it's a shame he created this site, got the community going and was basically kicked out of his own thing. That sucks but I thank him for this place and hope he is doing well :) He sounds like a genuinely cool guy
 
DMF talking about Jeff has me all...

I didn't get most of that, nor did I get the point, but I do remember quite a few of the old posters being name dropped. Makes me feel old and sentimental.

Call me when you get a chance.

I have no idea what's going on here, but that's one damn good writing, and I'm a fan of damn good writings.
 
I can dig it warriors. For what it's worth, don't sell yourself short; a phonecall from you wouldn't get lost in the mash, quite really it would probably make his day. I know I always remember the people who bothered to call me when the chips were down.

The phone might have worked, but the man has treated me kindly and provided me an alternative venue to the ready barstool for a lot of years. I figured an "O' Captain, My Captain" was better served on a desktop than a thank you note. Not a perfect fix, but you can't get a dui riding a unicycle into your own wall. I even got recognized wearing the swag a couple times and got laid for giving away pink camo Sherdog ball caps at the bar on Mother's Day. She said she posted here but couldn't remember my name, but no way was I me. I said you got me. And I jumbo-sized and flipped her avatar upside down the next day. She wasn't great in bed but she couldn't lock a liquor cabinet for shit.
 
" I banned a few folks who told me to get over it"


nice - another reason I've avoided this site over the years, admins always seemed like arrogant @$!#^


bizarre post too.

So basically you're reading Finnegans Wake, and you haven't got the slightest clue, but you enjoy the writing and the fact that you don't get it.
 
no mention of dave hojak (his gf with 3 kids) and blowjob tanner with girly forearms?
