<\/a><\/p>\nBefore we being with our traditional end-of-year thank you post, allow us to present a brief anecdote from Sunday’s awards ceremony.\u00a0 For the most part, we generally put serious thought into the acknowledgments we bestow upon the BTSH community, despite the vacuousness of the prizes and categories themselves (aside from the Stacy S. Kehoe Award, of course).\u00a0 However, as a direct result of choosing the nominees and winners every season, neither of us had ever actually won one of our own media awards.\u00a0 This had to change.\u00a0 We came in with the intention of getting booed off the stage for giving ourselves the award for Best Duo, especially following a planned self-centered acceptance speech.\u00a0 Instead, we were met with a chorus of cheers and applause.\u00a0 Even Craig withheld his usual heckles and slurs.\u00a0 It was actual quite heartwarming.<\/p>\n
Adriano and others have repeatedly acknowledged us for putting a lot of work into what most consider to be a thankless task.\u00a0 While true that this has had to be a labor of love over the past few seasons considering the small compensation we receive (thank you to those who voted to give us anything though!), calling our job “thankless” is not entirely accurate.\u00a0 Throughout our tenure as editors for the website, and especially during this past weekend, we have been showered with effusive praise and accolades.\u00a0 As writers, we thrive on knowing that people are reading and enjoying our work, and the comments and good tidings have kept us motivated throughout the years.<\/p>\n
However, we could not have done this without the help and contributions of several dedicated staffers.\u00a0 Jesse Kalb has provided his thoughts on the Hockey Night in Tompkins matchups for two seasons, and they have become a highlight of the weekly previews.\u00a0 Sven Larsen saved us from the unenviable task of covering the MacNeil Division with his weekly submissions.\u00a0 Abby “Tayne” Meisterman’s work may not have been enjoyed by everyone (T-Beau, Hockey Rich), but it was always entertaining.\u00a0 Monica Russo decided to use the space we gave her to write about herself and Fitlhy Gorgeous, instead of the Donohue Division, as she was assigned…but at least, we didn’t have to write about Cobra Kai.\u00a0 Rich Glanzer surprised us all with coherent, well-researched musings and relatively accurate predictions.\u00a0 Plus, his Know Your Neighbor contributions were actually quite funny.\u00a0 Ben Chadwick wrote far too much far too often, no matter what he called himself.\u00a0 Last and certainly least, Shaun deLacy was the media intern, and he should not be acknowledged.<\/p>\n
In addition, we’d also like to thank the past two league commissioners.\u00a0 Adriano “Muscles Marinara” Bratta supported us throughout the creative process, and Bob “Olmec” Weyersberg allowed us to take control of btsh.org in the first place.<\/p>\n
As we look back at our years of service, we leave with no regrets and are excited to hand the reigns to someone else (hopefully).\u00a0 It has been a pleasure using the website as a platform to get to know most of the league so well, but it will also be nice to have more free time to spend with our newfound friends.<\/p>\n
Your humble Editors Emeriti,
