Today was a heartbreaking day for BR Mag...Please hire my incredible colleagues and friends. Without them I couldn’t have written a word. They mean the world to me and they made me better in every way. As far as myself, I am still writing for BR...

Jake Leonard was the best editor I could ever ask for. I felt safe with him editing my pieces. He is brilliant. No one has his eye. He rocked with me in the trenches for so many hard stories. He elevated my work like none other. Hire him immediately.

@Jpdabrams
I met Abrams when I was in college, star struck that he agreed to take me to lunch so I could ask him q about the industry. Then we became colleagues. He is the most generous soul you will come to know. A legend. Hire him.

@LeoSepkowitz
Leo is one of the most passionate people in the biz. He never wrote for clicks or likes. He wrote because he genuinely loves to write and he loves the NBA. Hire him.

@ScottMillerBbl
Scott is not only one of the most talented feature writers in the biz and one of the most respected baseball reporters but he is such a good human. He worked tirelessly to help me on a story that he didn’t have to. You want him in your newsroom. Hire him.

@MirinFader
First thing I did after hearing this news was to come check on you. Glad you still have a place to write, it would have been criminal if you didn’t, but I hate to see this happen to so many talented journalists. Hang in there and keep doing what you do.
