Let's try this again.

As many of you know, Mike and Bloody Elbow have parted ways. We'll not get into the reasons, some of them were avoidable, some inevitable, some regrettable, some not.

But I do want to take this moment to acknowledge his many contributions to this site.

He came on board when he pointed out that Brent and I couldn't write a gambling analysis to save our lives. When we challenged him to do better he did. His gambling posts were always some of the best in the biz as were his post-fight analysis, his striking breakdowns and his The Week In Quotes.

Mike will be missed.
