Press Row Podcast: Summer Gaming
It's a breezy, free-wheeling discussion between myself, Rich Grisham, and Kat Bailey on this week's Press Row Podcast. The three of us discuss what sports games define the summer, reminisce about when July meant NCAA Football, and go into how online leagues are impacting the length of time we play the games.

Breaking down some of the NBA Live 16 footage out of E3
Yesterday the first breakdown of Madden NFL 16 footage was posted, taking a closer look at that game out of E3. Today attention turns to NBA Live 16 which EA Sports hopes will see a resurgence this year.
