A brief update on an increasingly brief internet

As the internet crumbles around him, one man takes a bold step into the future by... sending e-mails.

Hi, I’m looking for a stable internet platform. Does anyone have one of those? The less hate-speech, the better.

As I tweeted, skyeeted, threaded, and told the squirrels in my backyard: I am no longer with Chiefs On SI. There’s a short version, a long version, and a really long version.

The short version is that I didn’t expect the move, but in the midst of SI/On SI’s evolution, I can’t be entirely surprised. The longer versions are a bit less generous. I’ll stick with the short one for now.

I am unendingly grateful and maybe literally indebted to Jordan Foote, who is now the best free-agent Chiefs writer on the market. (Chiefs, NFL, NBA, MLB — someone should pay this man to write about sports until his fingers bleed.) I also couldn’t have done it without Tucker Franklin, who took on the deputy editor role before we had any idea how to run a website. (Tucker is already pretty busy, but you should buy him a beer or something.) Mark Van Sickle and Zack Eisen were fabulous to work with until the bitter end, as were many other writers who contributed over the years.

I came dangerously close to rambling on about turning 30, almost dying a few years ago, creativity and what’s next, but I promised brevity for both of our sakes.

TL;DR: No more writing on Chiefs On SI. None of this impacts Only Weird Games. I’ll keep appearing on 96.5 The Fan throughout the remainder of the Chiefs season. Then, we’ll see! I have some long-term ideas that excite me, and a short-term part-time break is going to help uncover them.

In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy my first time watching the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl on a night with no postgame responsibilities. Maybe I’ll see you at the parade.
