Glad your with me on this beautiful fall day in October here in New England. Just got back from some basic MMA training with J. Hova - nothing big today.
I'm not going to get into the drills just yet since I will posting them in a video and have separate pieces for my immediate reactions to the workouts.
Today, Jay and I had a great discussion on the culture of MMA itself.
I learned about the culture of MMA in the United States, ... Read More

S. Bartlett here from OS. I'm beginning my review process for the new EA Sports MMA. After doing one of the biggest reviews of the year in Madden NFL 11, there are some fundamental flaws in my approach to writing a game review.
To be considered a professional writer, there are a few steps I am going to take to separate the OS review from the rest of the reviews out there on the web such as IGN, PastaPadre, GameInformer, ESPN Videogames, etc.

My commentary on the two basketball simulation franchises.
We have two developer heavy weights in sports gaming that battle to see who will be crowned king of basketball simulation every season: 2K basketball against EA Sports basketball. Our Chris Sanner from Operation Sports believes that intra sport competition doesn’t always result in a higher quality games on each end and he may be right. All I know is that in the case of basketball ... Read More

Hi all. Question number two for the Red Sox Fellowship program posed to me is in the title. Here is my philosophy. What are your thoughts?
Welcome to Fenway Park
I recommend the Red Sox take advantage of other properties and assets (such as Nascar’s Roush Racing) owned by Red Sox management and package their current corporate sponsorships creatively with these ... Read More

I appreciate the feedback on my last entry as it helped me mold my answers to this question. After some digging, I say no. What do you all think?

Between the Revenue Sharing Plan and the Competitive Balance Tax, I believe Major League Baseball has the necessary regulation in place to maintain a competitive balance among the 32 Major ... Read More

I am aware that the league already does some revenue sharing for those willing to exceed an arbitrarily assigned league payroll and expense. So in a way, that's a soft cap. I like this type of governance in part by the MLB. If they can curve the spending a bit, redistribute it to smaller market teams who have no ... Read More

A New Approach to Hitting Interfaces
From the moment the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand, a batter has about two-fifths of a second to make up his mind whether to swing at the pitch and…complete his swing. Quickness with the bat is critical.” Ted Williams, The Science of Hitting

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

The Association once had Russel and Wilt. Then there was Michael taking the reigns from Bird after he dropped 63 in the Garden in the ’86 playoffs. Last year, it was the debate between Kobe and LeBron. Right now, it’s Live and 2K.
It’s an old school new school thing. As one legacy comes to an end, the torch is passed on to the new king to lead the next era.
The NBA Live team has chosen to ignore the league’s history. After sitting ... Read More

This is my personal diary from my trip to New York City. Check it out. Much love to OS and the 2K Sports Family for hooking it up!
When I heard 2K Sports was having a tenth anniversary launch party for the release of NBA2k10, I just had to get to New York City to be there. So when I got the okay from 2K that I was welcome to go as a member of the media with OperationSports.com, I booked the most affordable room I could find in the city at the Pod Hotel on ... Read More
