Padrecast: Holiday Solo Edition
For the holiday weekend I thought I'd run through a Padrecast on my own and take some questions from Twitter and Facebook. I discuss the NBA 2K11 patch and ratings drop for Tony Parker and IGN's decision to run a piece praising EA for canceling NBA Elite 11 at the last minute. Then responding to a couple of the questions presented I go into the likelihood of college basketball and MVP Baseball returning, how the "Online Pass" may be affecting sales, and more. The podcast runs approximately 28 ...

Padrecast: Cut Short Edition
The Padrecast is back with Fred and Dylan though tragedy struck and the recording apparently cut off part way through the entertainment discussion. That means you'll miss out on our usual Ken Jeong update and talk about Pauly Shore's Adopted which is terribly unfortunate. Since the Comic-Con portion was lost we'll likely do a short preview Padrecast when down in San Diego later this week. Below is just some of what is talked about over the (now) 31 minute running time. Download the podcast d...
