“In honor of the website redesign”

Tjarks was good people. His last text to me was complaining about Texas playing too slowly, which is very on brand.

Good luck writers bc this redesign is made with total focus on video and pods. Not a fan for those who come to read.

Amazing article, also love the fact that if you scroll all the way at the bottom, it says that you’ve been around since Brady was a quarterback. I’ve never felt older in my entire life.

One of my favorite articles of all time. Jon was a generational talent.

I miss his gently contrarian takes in that voice of his on the podcast.

Basketball is very good.

This essay was and is so bloody moving. As a dad of two young boys it is almost unbearable to imagine being in Tjarks place. While I didn't know him personally, his words paint the picture of an awesome human being.

I’ve shared that essay more than anything else in my life. I really think it’s such a North Star of purpose. Show. Up.

I haven’t gone more than a month without thinking about this article since he wrote it. Hands down best article on the site

Sorry not sorry: the website design looks like a bad acid trip and a deterrent to engagement.

Was beautiful to read then, still is now. Thanks again for writing this.

Man I miss his insight

big Mavs fan here, watching them try to come back against the Grizz now. Minutes ago I randomly had a sad thought about I wish I could hear what Tjarks would say about this squad (he'd LOVE it), then I remembered y'all all got on BlueSky, then I came to your page and saw this. Shouts to ya boy 🙏
