“Live by the sword, die by the sword. Tough night at the office on Saturday. Got to take the Wins and the losses as a man. I’ll learn from my mistakes, shake it off, make a few dumb jokes, and I will come back better- the way I always do.
“The amount of love I got from everyone is genuinely overwhelming- idk what I did to deserve so much but I’m immensely grateful for it and I will spend my energy trying to reciprocate and perpetuate it back out into the world.
“Congrats to @dynamitedan808 he’s truly one of the good guys in this sport, all the best to his family and new baby girl. Thanks for the extra shot at the end, ya dickhead, I hope your hand hurts haha. Onward & Upward.”
