Hop Aboard the OS Hater Bandwagon

Ever since OperationSports.com's "merger" with MaddenMania, this place has been completely different. More users, developer interaction, earlier reviews, but with the good comes the bad. And the bad, in this case, is vocal OS haters.

It has come to my attention that a fledgling, upstart sports gaming community is apparently going with the "no rules" approach to their forums. Posts by banned OS users suggesting harm to the families of our forum's moderators seem to be common place in their so called "Off-Topic" forum.

What's worse is that nothing is done over there to curb such behavior. It's disgusting that this is allowed and if I were running that site, I'd be embarrassed.

I won't even dignify this website by mentioning it's name or the author of these wonderful works of literary genius. The only reason I bring it up is to again, voice my appreciation for the community here at OperationSports.com. Sure, we have our issues. Every online community does. But overall, there is no other gaming website I'd rather be a part of, and all of you are the reason for that.

Moving on, I watched the Michael Jackson Memorial yesterday with my wife. What a show! Say what you want about the man's personal life, but he was an entertainment genius that many of us will never see matched in our lifetime.

To put a sports slant on it, I felt like Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson's part of the memorial was extremely well done. I can just imagine Magic sitting there on the floor eating that bucket of KFC while discussing the particulars of the video for "Remember the Time".

I have to admit that at the very end when his heartbroken daughter Paris took the microphone, I got choked up. I know what it's like to lose a father at a young age, and for all the stories about how weird he was, how strange and sheltered his kids are, for that very moment we were on the same level.

As far as Michael Jackson goes, I think anyone my age will always have at least something about him in our memory that will forever cause us to remember the time.
