Working the Weekend with Luke-Thank You!

Welcome to the final 2014 edition of Working the Weekend with Luke. It’s crazy to think that this year is nearly over, but what a year it’s been.

It seems like it’s been longer, but a year ago at this time, I wasn’t even a part of Binge Media. Sure, I’d known Kupka since college and he had introduced me to Moreno, but there had only been a very minimal discussion about adding a sports section to the site and there certainly had been no indication that I’d get the gig even if it happened. But low and behold, come spring, I got the call from Moreno. He’d read a little bit of a little personal blog that I started last year, The Luke Norris Experience, apparently liked what he read, and Binge Sports was born.

After a few months of this and that, new features starting popping up. The Binge Cast has been the bread and butter since inception, but the guys wanted more and who could blame them? There’s a lot of talented people on this team and we soon had Monday Morning Moreno, Jack Attack Tuesday, (Working On A Title) Wednesday, Bob’s Thirsty Thursdays, and Friday Night Law. Every day of the week was covered and I would throw in my Binge Sports articles when necessary, but I wanted more. With all the weekdays taken, I asked for a weekend spot to branch out a little bit and get in on the fun that the rest of the boys get to have. Hey, I like movies and TV and books too, so Working the Weekend with Luke was started in the summer.

Now, I had the idea for this weekend’s column to include some highlights from some of the best of Working the Weekend with Luke. I could recap the trilogy countdown, or give you a link to the very first column, or give you a year in pictures kind of thing. Actually, I may end up doing that for Binge Sports later this week. But instead of doing any of that today, all I really want to do is simply say thank you.

First of all, thank you to Kupka for just being one of my closest friends in the entire world.

Thank you to the co-founders of Binge Media, Law and Moreno, for giving me an outlet to write about some of the things I enjoy most. I know you guys worked your asses off to get this site off the ground and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of it.

Thank you to the rest of the boys for being as talented as you are and setting the bar higher each and every week. Reading your work only makes me want to get better with each and every column that I write. I haven’t even met most of these guys as this team is scattered all over North America, but I certainly hope to remedy that soon. Keep up the great work fellas.

But most importantly, I want to thank each and every one of you that come back time and time again to support Binge Media. There’s a lot of options out there to choose from but you choose to come here and I think I can speak for the entire crew when I say that our goal in 2015 is to make things even better. So with that being said, I hope you’ve enjoyed Working the Weekend with Luke so far and I’ll be back next year and I’ll be bringing my best with me. Happy New Year to all of you and let me just say it one more time:

THANK YOU!
