Ever been on TV? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

Twice that I know of.

Both on ABC ch. 8 in Dallas on the news. Once in 2004 I painted myself up before a Mavericks playoff game and I was in a highlight.

Then again on same channel 3 years ago. They had a temporary studio set up outside arena and the in backdrop you could stand and be seen. I am tall enough that you could see my head clearly the entire broadcast.

No freaking way. If that's true, that is sooo sweet.

Not me but my mother. She was on Wheel of Fortune in the early 80's.

However I was in Woman's World after I saved my mother's life when I was born.

Probably 1964 on The Chief Halftown Show out of Philadelphia. It was a Saturday talent show and the host was a real Indian and I remember him chugging glasses of Nestle's Quik in milk (the sponsor). It was my band The Sabres.

I also went on, probably the same year with a folk group (girls), I think they called themselves The Denims. My buddy and I, from The Sabres, played acoustic guitars while they sang a couple songs.

PBS did a special on me (out of L.A.) in 1991 called "The Children of the Dust", about the search for my Amerasian daughter. They actually used my synthesizer music for background music during the telecast. I had a VHS tape of it, loaned it to a guy doing research back in Maryland, and never got the tape back.

They came to my town and did a show in our mall and I got to be on the show. I was in 4th grade when it happened.

I played in a football game on FSN-Pittsburgh. We lost, but I still got to play on live TV on a pretty big regional channel.

BET News 1996. They did a segment about high schoolers voting for the first time. They selected 4 of us to do interviews and then filmed us at the polls. I still have the reporter's card in my yearbook.

Re: Ever been on TV?

Once when I was a kid. I was even interviewed but I was very shy and didn't talk loud enough so my comments were excised. Still you could see me in the story itself. It was about how a group of vision impaired kids went to a trip to some farm community thing.

I guess it was a slow news day!

Re: Ever been on TV?

I was on ESPN2 and pitched 3 scoreless innings vs Louisville in the Big East Championship game. I've been on CSTV a bunch of times.

Got interviewed at ND for graduation and sounded like an idiot.

I've been on Charlotte news a couple times for being a cop.
