No real beef with Luke Thomas of BloodyElbow.com

December 7, 2007 by Sam Caplan  

I just saw this post from Luke Thomas at BloodyElbow.com: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?!?

I wanted to concur with Luke’s post. I don’t have any issues with Luke. I consider him a friend and I consider BloodyElbow.com a friend to 5 Oz.

I don’t feel Luke singled me out but I do feel like I was included in the group of sites he had an issue with in regard to the lack of coverage of Sam Vasquez. I didn’t agree so I spoke up.

Luke and I agree on certain things and we disagree on others. The great thing about Luke is that he and I can have a major difference in opinion, debate the issue, and neither of us take it personally. In fact, you’ll hear me as a guest on the next edition of WhoopAss Radio.

I also don’t have a major problem with Ariel Helwani of JarryPark.com. Once again, I didn’t agree with something he said so I spoke up. If he invites me to do an audio blog with him again, I wouldn’t hesitate to accept.

A big part of operating a compelling blog is to make sure you don’t keep strong opinions to yourself.

    So true Sam. There is always things to disagree on.

    This site did coverage on the subject and directed the view over to sherdog.
