Gotham Sports Media Adds Fantasy Sports Web Site
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 2, 2008
Giving fantasy sports owners of all skill levels a “one-stop” portal for information is now a reality, as Gotham Sports Media LLC launches its new web site, Lenny Melnick and Paul Greco Fantasy Sports.
The dynamic home page (at http://melnickandgrecofantasysports.com) introduces every online visitor to a fantasy owner’s dream: immediate access to the web site’s major topic areas, allowing for seamless browsing and searching through baseball, football and basketball news, notes and articles.
Melnick and Greco Fantasy Sports focuses on customer service. By delivering its readers and listeners an experience that is fun, informative, and engaging, MGFS provides a platform for every member of its audience to be a part of the fantasy sports experience. With exclusive features like instant response e-mails, open fantasy owners phone lines, and appointment setting call back features, Melnick and Greco will bring fantasy sports advice and customer service to a new level.
“Bringing in a legend from the Fantasy Sports industry like Lenny Melnick adds even more credibility to Gotham Sports Media. Lenny will be instrumental, not only on our Fantasy Sports site, but throughout the Gotham Sports Network,” said Mark Healey, Gotham Sports Media CEO.
Accessibility is also a major component of MGFS, as its audience will have the opportunity to be a part of the Fan Correspondents page. By providing local news and notes that are not readily available to fantasy owners through the national media, MGFS is creating the most interactive site the fantasy sports world has seen yet. Fantasy owners and sports fans alike are becoming more knowledgeable, opinionated, and passionate about their sports and can now share their information with other fantasy owners.
Melnick comes to Gotham Sports Media, LLC with two decades of fantasy sports ownership and experience under his belt. Beginning with the start of the fantasy sports craze of early 80’s, Melnick translated his love for the statistical side of sports into a new career. In 1993, Melnick, along with Irwin Zwilling produced the first fantasy sports radio show on WGBB 1240 AM in New York. Covering fantasy baseball, football, basketball and hockey, the Fantasy Sports Show was the first of its kind. In 1996, Melnick was a part of Major League Baseball’s This Week in Baseball with Ozzie Smith, and Pennant Chase with Fran Healy, covering fantasy baseball for the first time on network television. Then in 1997, Melnick and Zwilling became the first hosts of MLB’s Fantasy 411. Melnick’s other accomplishments in fantasy sports include being a two time winner in the League of Alternative Baseball Reality (LABR) as well as a TOUT Wars championship among the best Fantasy Baseball Owners in the industry.
Greco, co-owner of Gotham Sports Media LLC, started working in the fantasy sports industry in 2006. In just two years, Greco has become one of the most respected and successful fantasy sports experts on the Internet. After creating FantasyBaseballGuy.com for Gotham Sports Media, he was hired by RotoHog.com to be their Senior Fantasy Sports writer, as well as their radio voice. Greco has appeared on ESPN Radio, WIP in Philadelphia as well as KALL 700 Sports in Salt Lake City. As a member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association, Greco is one of most recognizable fantasy sports personalities in the industry.
“I’ve been a guest on Paul and Lenny’s radio show numerous times and found them both well prepared, enthusiastic and professional,” said Mike Easler, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ hitting instructor. “Their content knowledge in all areas of sports is exceptional and I praise them both for their factual information with their guest. Paul and Lenny make a great team.”
“I have nothing but good things to say about the tag team of Paul Greco and Lenny Melnick, who I’ve worked with closely on our expert drafts,” said Geoff Stein, Operations Manager of MockDraftCentral.com. “Their knowledge, humor and professionalism give our live draft a big event feel that excites me and many of the other industry participants. Besides being good at what they do, Paul and Lenny are both top-notch guys that offer a love of fantasy sports that isn’t met by many others within the industry.”
