"The Waiver Wire" Podcast For The Week of 2/11 Online
 

In a momentous occasion (*Snicker*) DigitalSportsMa... errrr, MaddenMania and Operation Sports have teamed together for a podcast. Slizeezyc, mattyg, Ralnakor (HE LIVES!!) and OS's TJdaSportsGuy combine to touch on mostly sports topics, which is rare for The Waiver Wire. In what is surely an ironic twist our first collaboration things went horribly wrong during various points in the show, but props to TJ for his stellar editing skills.

Anyways, the four studs start off with the renewal of EA's exclusivity license with the NFL and the departure of David Ortiz and what it might mean for the future of Madden. EA continues to dominate the discussion as they hit on possible new IP's and various interviews given by new EA Sports head honcho Peter Moore. Because EA doesn't make a baseball game anymore they change the subject to MLB 2K8 and their new use of the right stick (Plus horrible player ratings). TJ departs the show before the Three Amigo's touch on Hot Shots Golf, MLB 08 for the PSP, some silly looking Sega Tennis title, some game about sweaty men wearing tights and the new NBA Ballers. To wrap up the show they venture into the real world of sports and talk about Richard Zednik's freak injury, the Rocket's laughable Congressional testimony and the latest NBA trades.

TJ, thank you for bringing reason. I feel your pain about the Bobcats. I am a native of Charlotte living near Seattle now.

Pretty cool. Good work, TJ.

Good podcast, I'll be a listener in the future episodes.

I thought you were an A's fan though, TJ.

Thanks. Let's just say I had a life changing moment while visiting Monument Park last season. My dad was a Yankees fan. My wife is a Yankees fan. Being in that stadium, around that history, I figured if I didn't jump then, I would never jump. So...I turned in my kelly green and gold and exchanged it for the insignia of the Evil Empire, the NY Yankees.
