A quick thank you

[EricRueb]

All,
Not going to get into the details, but I was fired by The Narragansett Times today and will no longer be covering the team.
I wanted to thank everyone who said a kind word about my writing, sent me an email to talk about the team and even the ones who thought I sucked.
I don't know what the future holds for my writing or my career, but I hope to someday be back covering the Rams.
At least now I can go to games and cheer. Or be disgruntled.

[rodfromcranston]

I thought you did a good job.
Best of luck to you in whatever you choose to do.
Firing isn't always the end of the world. My biggest break
in business came after I was fired.
One door closes.........

Agree with Rod, I appreciate the job you did and hope you can be back covering the Rams soon.

I know I always enjoyed reading what you wrote more than the trash that Donaldson or KMac put in the ProJo...

Good luck in your future endeavors, hope to still hear from you on the board!

[Blue Man]

I liked your coverage.

I know from friends who've worked for the times down there that its a cesspool run by turds themselves. Newspapers are dying anyways. Best of luck moving on man.

Good luck to you Eric. During the last two seasons, you were one of very few writers who told it like it was and questioned Baron's coaching. I enjoyed you're articles. Let us know when you land the next gig.

[ATPTourFan]

I look forward to reading your next article, Eric, since you were one of the few who would get beyond the superficial coach-speak to give fans of this team some insight into what was happening on the court and behind the scenes.

Best of luck to you with whatever comes next. I echo the rest of the posters here who always enjoyed your work.

[URIGONZO]

Not sure if I would appeal to this board for sympathy.....go ask Jim or Billy Baron how sympathetic this board is

[rodfromcranston]

Eric hasn't set Rhody basketball back to the stoneage.
Billy left on his own. He didn't get fired.

[Optimistic]

I wonder how long it will take for people on this board to stop bringing up Baron in every thread no matter how irrelevant. O/U 5 years?

[rodfromcranston]

Nah! We still bring up Jerry The Clown, and it's been 12 years since he was coach.

[SmartyBarrett]

At least now I can go to games and cheer. Or be disgruntled.

Media passes are overrated

Best of luck in whatever the next endeavor is that comes you way. Always enjoy your stuff.

[Obadiah]

Sorry to hear that, Eric, because I thought you had real talent in both analysis and writing. I hope you can get some assignments with a sports blog and channel your career in that direction. Good luck in all you do!

[RhodeIslandRams]

Eric don't let it bother you. Shoot me an e-mail or PM. New doors will open!

[Ramulous]

Godspeed to you, Eric....

[RAM67]

Good luck Eric.

[reef]

Best of luck to you Reubs

[Rhody72]

Eric, you are a competent reporter and you shouldn't become discouraged.

[jmck]

good luck eric, i always enjoyed your work.

[bpaz11]

Sorry to hear that Eric. You're coverage of URI was always excellent and I enjoyed reading your articles. Best of luck to you. I'm sure you'll find something soon.

[rambone 78]

Figures. Best URI reporter [along with Kenyon] around, and you get canned.

Good luck, hope you can land a gig covering Rhody somewhere!

[The Dude]

Feel your pain Eric. I was laid off a few weeks ago. Best of luck to you!

your welcome ...to the post title. My brother is a freshman and said the RAs handing out tickets worked like a charm
