    Chance just sent this to your co-workers, Rich sounds soo intimidated by Clutchfans

    Clutchfans does break news regarding the Rockets.
    Whether it be in News Story format on the front page, or an Insider posting legit info on the message board.
    The message board is very well moderated, and most false info is quickly edited or deleted.
    Not to mention all of the loyal members know who the inside guys are.
    It is not only a message board but also has news articles, box scores, and several other more “professional” type of news bulletins.

    As a huge Rockets fan and season ticket holder for years I have relied on Clutchfans to get my Rockets new FIRST.
    I believe that the Rockets are intimidated by Clutchfans since they are able to provide better coverage of their team than their own site.

    EDIT: Keep calling guys, the first guy was nervous as hell, and Chance, well you heard him!!! Not a good image for Clutchfans. LOL!

    The poor guy has no voice... I give him credit just for calling in. He basically just said that CFN does deserve a press pass based upon the size/reach of the bbs and site itself.

    What did hotballa say?

    Damn, I hope this turns out well.

    What a slap in the face, after all that Clutch (and Jeff) have done for this organization.

    Someone needs to mention that OTHER websites still have their credentials and it was only this site that was revoked because it was TOO good.

    Just think about the influence we have though. Just think about how many times we make up ideas for trades or talk about things that arent working for the team and then on 610 we end up hearing the exact same things. We may not break news stories but we def have some influence on how the rockets end up being discussed.

    Thats good stuff, if Rockets.com is going to act so intimidated by Clutchfans, they should at least be given the same credentials as rockets.com and other meida outlets.

    First let me thank Clutch for once again being a man about this. When he was asked to change the site name, he was a man. When asked to pull stories he was also a man. Thanks for running one of the best websites on the internet in a way that it should be. Thanks again.

    Second on the the issue of competition there is none. Clutchfans is the best website for a team I have seen. End of story. I visit a few others but this is far and away the best

    Hate to see you get punished for being the best Clutch. But we all love ya for it.

    Thanks again.

    It'd be nice if we could ask Van Gundy about this whole situation :D
