Just saw MLB.com website for new fantasy game. Question for Tom or Greg. The copyright for the game had Vulcan Sports Media. Is Vulcan Sports Media the infamous Prime Sports? For those of you that did not play in the 90's, Prime Sports was big in the fantasy world in the 90's. They went bankrupt and did not pay their winners and oh yeah, years before they cheated on my team scoring so that I would not win their contest again. When I complained their answer was "Your not going to play any more of our contest are you Bob." After they went bankrupt rumor had it that they teamed up with Ths Sporting News but changed their name. Oh yeah, they used to be part of the Fantasy Assoc.

I do not know who Vulcan Sports Media is. The Prime Sports group you mention did not spin off into The Sporting News or any other fantasy company. I was involved in their TV show with Brady Tinker in 1997 and yes they were a leader in the fantasy sports industry for 6-7 years. They were a founding member with us of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. They did fold, but I'm not sure if customers did not receive prize money or not. I'm unfamiliar with that.
That's what I know, Bob.
