Gang:
I just wanted to let you know that this will be my last week at TSN -- I'm leaving to join a wireless division at ESPN.
I've very much enjoyed my last three years here, and I've learned a lot from being on these boards. I hope that y'all realize that, even when I was making bad decisions, I was trying to balance the needs of TSN being a "real" business with the interests of the consumer.
At any rate, you can reach me at ebarmack@sportingnews.com or at the website for me book, www.thevirginbook.com.
All best,
-E

Thanks, Erik. Good luck in the new position, but stay away from someone who calls himself "blue hen."

Good luck Erik.
I think what Perm Dude is trying to say is: Don't drop the soap around blue hen. Deliverance and Pulp Fiction might come to mind.

Good luck, Erik. While I didn't agree with every decision you made, I always respected your willingness to seek our input, and I think the fantasy sports division has performed well under your stewardship. I hope the next regime will continue to seek out and listen to our perspectives.

Good luck Erik. You, IMHO, established customer service at Smallworld/TSN games. I hope someone else is willing to put their name and e-mail out there and be the "face" of the games.

Best of luck Erik at ESPN Wireless and with your book writing.
Take care of yourself and as the others have said, we really appreciated that you were willing to listen and give us an input.

Thx for the kind words, everyone. Please keep in touch. I think that many, many fantasy sports companies have realized (perhaps too late) that this is a c. service-dominated biz.
As for TSN ... Jeff Gerttula, who's taking over, is a big fantasy games junky, and much more detail-oriented than I am or ever was. I have complete faith that things will continue to improve under his guidance.
