This isn’t necessarily pointed at you, so please don’t kill the messenger...

“Rojas told Eater the fight started a basket of $5 tortilla chips and a choice of salsa – red or green.”

The fight started a $5 basket of chips did it? How could the fight start anything.

I think the fight started OVER the basket of chips, etc...

I see a lot of dropped verbs / adverbs /prepositions in stories and posts lately. Lazy cliquey culture is to blame IMHO. This is just like “because this or that” vs. because OF this or that.

I think the fight started between the blonde in the white dress and the hispanic in the blue shorts and red top. I think they had words that eventually got the studs involved and it came to chair slinging.

I didn’t see a single well landed punch

Come on now. Get with the twitter culture. You are only allowed 140 characters so dropping of verbs and such is acceptable. :-)
