Thanks for acknowledging us little guys Randy.

Kick ass. Take names. Best of luck.

I was thoroughly disappointed when I heard the news during the Devils game. I always hate when things like this happen to good people. I am rooting for you to get back on your feet as soon as possible. I wish you all the best.

It is a sad day when Randy and George no longer have jobs who were an excellent read but Eric Francis continues to plague us.

Its like losing the Peter Maher of media coverage man. You have always been one of my fav reads with a coffee before work. You'll be missed and its just not right to see you go.

Hey Bingo, don't you need some game write-up writers?

Best of luck, Randy.

*Is the OP now the most thanked post in CP history with 312? I can't remember the details but I think AC had the record for something?

Hi Randy,

Always loved your writing style and I was a loyal reader and Sun subscriber. Good luck to you in your future in whatever you think is best. Your job covering the team was excellent so I hope to see you continue writing about the Flames and hockey. Perhaps a fan friendly blog in the future , I know as a Sportak reader I would enjoy that.

Good luck sir and all the best.

Cheers

Thank YOU Randy, and I really hope we've not read the last of you just yet.

These newspaper bosses have no idea what they're doing.

You won't remember this but we chatted in an airport lounge a few years back. You were always very approachable.

All the best, another opportunity will be just around the corner.

Good luck Randy. I think it's absolutely class you stopped by to thank the fans.

Someone else said it, but I'll add to it: a travesty that Randy is out of work but guys like Francis and Cox are still polluting the air waves with their diatribe.

Why do networks insist on keeping guys real sports fans hate?

Good luck with future endeavours Sir.

Strangely enough, you might have gotten out while the getting is good as far as Postmedia goes. Those left behind might not have the same financial parachute.

So there's that.

Randy, I was disappointed to hear about you and George getting let go. I enjoyed both of your columns.

What are you aiming for next Randy? It seems the net total of print media jobs has been permanently reduced. Do you think you'll go the digital media route, radio, tv?
