    I just heard that "The Devil" Passed away

    We all might fight like crazy kids at times but this truly saddens me to see another old schooler not with us anymore.

    I remember those stories as well. Some were really off the wall too I might add.

    Once BeantownJim challenged him to a fight and offered to tie one arm behind his back. Kinda letting his mouth write a check his arse couldn't cash because Freddy said I accept. And was serious. Beaner provided everyone a few laughs backing out of that one.

    It's like all the original forum guys are gone. None made it to 70. Talked with him on the phone but did not know him. One of the original offshore bookmakers and then partnered with Russ with Majorwager.com. Russ bought him out and he was a paid poster at EOG for a year or so and then just vanished or retired. RIP.

    When I worked for MW I believe Russ and him were in fighting. You know how it goes though because one guy gives one story while the other guy gives the other side... Anyways, I do remember BTJ gave him a stern talking too alright and that's all I'll say on that front.

    In regards to old schoolers... I wish their were more of us originals but considering the circumstances surrounding those types of things happening are always tricky.

    I knew Russ better. He really hated SBR's rise. I would of not liked to be Russ's partner because he was unpredictable to put it mildly.

    Happens to many within this industry however, I guess you just have to chalk it up to the gaming environment as a whole.

    Well I didn't exactly wanna say who buzz was but you did.

    In regards to Russ... He did have a rather interesting approach with the way his ran things and while some were good their was also some that were bad. The guy was fair with me and that's what I'll always remember about him.

    No not really. EOG and SBR Forum started within a month of each other in 2005. EOG quickly became as popular as the Rx, who was the leader at the time( leaving out covers). But by 2008 we had caught them both and EOG was in a serious tailspin. Ken, the owner of EOG, then began hiring posters to post. He had around 30 including this fellow Freddy on the payroll to post. It did not reverse the trends and was abandoned I think about a year later.

    Sad to hear this news. I met Fred back in 2008 - we got together with Munson for golf in PA. Was a fun trip and I always think back about it. Lot of good stories Fred shared.

    Yes - Fred and I were both on the EOG staff that year. He was paid to post and tried to focus on certain parts - like the Poker subforum. By the end of 2008, a lot of us were gone from the payroll. I stayed a part of the back room and helped out with odds and ends, but in 2009 the big leagues here at SBR came calling

    Most of these guys eat unhealthy, don't exercise, smoke, have constant stress whether their bets will cash, don't get any pussy and then get in fights between them. Then they die at a young age.

    We love it here at SBR where no one is paid to post or ghost. Keep it this way!
