Look out sports fans!  We’re bringing you episode one of The Away Team Podcast!  This brand new sports podcast is hosted by our Lead Sports Writer The Herp (Eric) and he is joined by a fellow sports game aficionado Lethalwraith (Gabe).  In this first episode they’ll talk a little bit about what they’ve been playing which includes Tiger Woods Online, Vancouver Winter Olympics and give you a preview of MLB 10 The Show.  They also look at some of the latest headlines around the virtual sports world as well as the occasional attempted patricide with a 15 inch butcher knife over backseat gaming. You’ll also get their opinion on whether or not sports games would benefit from not having to release a new title every year.  So come in, pull up a chair, and join us in discussing the ever competitive world of video games sports.

As stated in the podcast if you are interested in joining a Spawn Kill Madden Franchise League on PS3 or if you just want to challenge the cast send a message to their gamertags: TheHerp80 and Lethalwraith.
