As is customary around these parts on Thanksgiving, we reflect on what we are thankful for and use that gratitude to propel our efforts for the next full year. I'll go first and encourage the rest of staff to contribute to this post with their selections.
For me, I'm grateful of course to the community here. You and I (by I, I mean myself and the staff) have worked hard to develop an ethos of reasoned discourse and erudition. There is no substitute for impassioned, intelligent debate or discussion. Because of our interaction we are all made more aware. There is no price I can place on such a wonderful treasure.
I'm also thankful for SB Nation. I am thankful for providing us a platform to discuss our sport. I am thankful for their commitment to MMA when so many companies seem too tepid to back it. I am also thankful for their belief in the ability of me, Nate and several other important people to be real contributors to the company. I never imagined we'd get to this place, but I can tell you this is only the first permutation of our MMA content projects. Wait until 2011. We are going to blow you away.
Be safe on this holiday. Be kind to friends, family and even strangers. Be thankful for all that is going right in your life. Thanks for visiting BloodyElbow.com.
MIKE FAGAN: Luke brought me on to the site in the summer of 2008. We drew 550k page views that month. We did 5.2 million last month. We garner 50-60k unique visitors every day. To say that I am thankful for the success of this site - and the hard work put in by everyone involved - would be an understatement.
I'm thankful to be a part of a site that isn't interested in exchanging favorable content for privileged access. I'm thankful for the infrastructure that SB Nation provides. I'm thankful for Hunter Thompson and Ernest Hemingway and Michael Lewis and Joseph Heller and George Orwell and Sam Harris and all the other writers that have influenced me this past year. I'm thankful for Dana White and Brock Lesnar and the sport of MMA. I'm thankful for the family I have, and the family that's no longer with us. Be safe everyone.
JONATHAN SNOWDEN: It's hard to believe I've only been doing this since April. It feels like an eternity since Nate and I first discussed the idea of me joining the Bloody Elbow team. It's been a rocky ride, but that's par for the course. After all, I first met Nate and Luke when Dave Walsh and I duked it out with them in the Fight Opinion comments. It was only later, with daily Google chats, that I came to realize that Nate is by far the savviest guy I've met on the MMA internet. There are a lot of great contributors to BE - but he's the one I've learned the most from, day after day, week after week.
I know we've had some rocky times. Some of you don't always agree with some of my articles. That's fine. You don't play with fire and expect not to sweat. But I hope you've enjoyed the ensuing conversations, even when we've been on opposite sides. I told Nate a long time ago it was the audience that was drawing me to BE. Eight months in, that remains true. You guys are the smartest fans on the internet. Thanks for reading.
NICK THOMAS: I'm thankful for Strikeforce booking Alistair Overeem in 2010, hoping for lots more Ubereem in 2011. I'm thankful for all the awesome FanPosts and FanShots you guys have been submitting and the UFC for getting MMA regulated in Ontario Canada. =) Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
ANTON TABUENA: First of all, I am very thankful to Nate and Luke for deciding to take a chance on bringing in a guy living half-way around the world. It's because of them that I am now doing what I truly love, on one of the biggest and best outlets available for our sport... I am also thankful for the UFC-WEC merger. We've wanted this for years, and now the smaller guys have a chance to perform on the biggest stage available. It's been a great year so far, but hopefully by next year I will be thanking Zuffa for a UFC Philippines show. ;) Be safe everyone.

Everyone here on BE (and you elitists) a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Enjoy your birds and remember: Cowboys sick =P

We show our appreciation for food by gorging ourselves on it.
One would think fasting for a day would be a better way not to take having food for granted, but it’s less fun.
Remember, it’s a holiday started by religious fascists who ate with the natives of North America before exterminating them, resulting in us having to visit our unpleasant relatives once a year for overcooked turkey.

Wait a minute!!!
Are you telling me that all the history I learned in grade school may not be historically accurate?
I'm just asking
I just thought it symbolized something that may not have happened, but I was being honest, not saying it didn’t happen

I believe some sort of mutual feast occurred to celebrate their first harvest in the New World, I doubt that it was as shiny and happy as is usually portrayed. And I don’t believe it happened more than once.

I read a lot of blogs about a lot of topics, but this is the only one to which I bother to contribute. That has less to do with how much I love MMA and more to do with how much I appreciate BloodyElbow and everyone involved with it.

There's only two guys on BE I dislike.
I won’t name them, but they really suck.
The rest of you though, I love you all. I spent about an hour emailing both Kid Nate and Jonathan Snowden yesterday and bitching the both of them out for some shit that didn’t even matter. In the end, it ended up being a collosal misunderstanding, and even though Nate told me I didn’t matter and I told him he was a smelly hypocrite (I didn’t say smelly, but I was thinking it), I didn’t mean it in the least. You guys are great and this is, by far, the best MMA site on the ‘net. If you guys get paid at all, I know it isn’t much, and I look at the quality of your editorials compared to other websites, and you guys beat them every time. I can click on any given article on MMAJunkie or Sherdog and I guarantee I’ll find a plethora of errors because their editors are lazy. Here, you guys don’t even get paid, and if you do, I know it ain’t much, and you still put more care into your pieces, even with the occasional mistake.
I love you self-righteous, politically correct trolls. Even Subo.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Now that you've had a piss fight with Nate
I feel like we’re closer than we’ve ever been.
Luke: What was our best moment?
Nate: When I banned Subo?

I’m Canadian, so I already celebrated Thanksgiving over a month ago. But I’ll say that I’m thankful that a MMA blog with gifted writers & an educated fanbase like Bloody Elbow exists. I don’t comment very often, but I lurk more than is healthy.
I’m also thankful that I’m indoors today when it’s so frigid out. And that I have a belly full of shrimp & rice. And that I’m going to a White Stripes-inspired ballet tomorrow with the cutest girl I know. And also day-long television marathons on American channels.

I'm thankful that i can get all my mma news in one spot and although i dont post much
i read every article on here and all comments.
I am thankful for the firm and honst opinions of Luke and Nate….i absolutely laugh out loud when they threaten the ban hammer. I am thankful that everyone makes fun of Subo even though i think he has some good points (flame on). I am thankful for Snowdens books and insight. And i am thankful to see all of Deo Wade’s pics and gifs whenever im on here.
And god dammit i wish there were a thanksgiving holiday in Australia right now.
Most of all, thanks everyone here for making this a great place of discussion.
I am not thankful for Fagan making me mad with some of his posts. He is an intelligent man but damn…i know negative sells but damn…….smile and post something upbeat.
And i am thankful that i have been on Lukes radio show.
I’m thankful for copyright lawyers not cracking down on you guys and half of the rest of MMA media for your liberal use of pics like the snoopy-screen in this post!
What I’m also thankful for is the frequency of updates on this site. It may not be as professional as the articles on Sherdog (no bashing, just my opinion) but I love BE for keeping a steady flow of MMA info 24/7. That plus the lively community here makes it my No.1 site.
Happy Thanksgiving y’all…although I have no real notion of that holiday. It is virtually nonexistent in my country.
To save me some time on 25% of all threads, here's the universal answer to the Fedor-debate: Fedor is the most accomplished MMA fighter ever. That is a fact. If he still is the best fighter at this point in time is up for debate.
