It was fun while it lasted...
Earlier this month, I was laid off by SBR, and was asked to finish out the month in a limited role, which I did as professionally as possible.
I'm not going to go into the details here. I will however say that the situation was handled in a disappointing manner that has soured my relationship with SBR to the point that I will not continue to post here.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the three years I have spent here, both as a moderator and a poster. While a select few of you decided to be jerks to me for no apparent reason, the large majority of you were extremely respectful and supportive of my write-ups and videos. For that I thank you.
It was great getting to meet some of you face to face at the bash. Even those of you that weren't there, I have come to consider some of you friends. Hopefully those of you know who you are, and hopefully the feeling was at least somewhat mutual.
SBR will go on just fine without me; I'm sure I'll be completely forgotten in a week or two. But I won't forget you guys; it was a lot of fun.
It's a shame it had to end this way. I'd have never taken the job if I'd have known it would eventually mean leaving SBR for good. But that's the real world sometimes, things don't always go according to plan.
May you all have a profitable football season and beyond, and a wonderful holiday season.
Goodbye, and good luck.
- Dave

I knew something was up...........as BEAT VEGAS DAVE challenge was taken down(with last weeks winners not credited).
Why would you stop posting???
I find it strange that Onthewhat has not posted in the past few days, does this evolve around something with him.
Hope to see you around some of the other forums from time to time DAVE, always enjoyed your insights.

Yeah this doesnt make much sense at all. Dave actually contributed to this place in a positive way, not to say the other guys don't, but Dave actually chimed in and everything...
Somethin is fishy!

I don't like the call here....Geez you had to uproot and move for your job then it doesn't last a year. I know with companies its a numbers game sometimes maybe this was one of those times. I hate seeing you go I think you had a lot of talent for keeping players interested here. Good Luck to you Dave you'll  find another spot .....let me know where.

Wow, dude.
So sorry to hear that. I hope I wasn't too much of a dick to you.... just good natured ribbing on my part.
You were one of the good mall cops sans the huge ego of others in your profession. I could think of several dickheads that shoulda been let go before you. Oh well, just lowers my opinion of SBR even more.
If you decide to post elsewhere, let me know, so I can go there to rip you again about DuMarcus Russell.
GL VD!

Damn, thanks for all your input on the forums and such Dave and good luck in wherever the world takes you next - I just hope this has nothing at all to do with certain forum individuals having a witch-hunt against you for no reason at all, if thats the case then it's a sad day.
