Umps of the Round Table

Jack sits down with friends of the show Gil Imber and Tim McCaffrey from Close Call Sports to examine some of the early on-field officiating issues of the unique baseball season.  Among the topics discussed are the kind words of a broadcaster for a rookie umpire and the discouraging words by an ejected party for an innocent official.  Keep the conversation going!  Visit www.osipfoundation.org.  Email podcast@osipfoundation.org.  Comment at www.facebook.com/osipfoundation.  Follow on Twitter and Instagram @osipfoundation #howyouplaythegame.

Burritos Are Found In The Forest

In this episode, Jack and Sean tackle an article by Liz Roscher of Yahoo Sports that presents poor sportsmanship in the media, as she inappropriately provides an opinion slamming baseball umpires during the pandemic.  The discussion sheds light on the lackluster ability of the media to separate journalistic integrity from opinion/editorial pieces.  Keep the conversation going!  Visit www.osipfoundation.org.  Email podcast@osipfoundation.org.  Comment at www.facebook.com/osipfoundation.  Follow on Twitter and Instagram @osipfoundation #howyouplaythegame.

Cancel Sportsmanship!

In this fantastic and apropos episode, Jack and Sean tackle the Cancel Culture and how it is affecting society now, especially with such sensitivity due to the pandemic and social justice.  Sportsmanship has never been more important in the discussion of such topics, and now is the time to consider how we express our thoughts on such topics.  Keep the conversation going!  Visit www.osipfoundation.org.  Email podcast@osipfoundation.org.  Comment at www.facebook.com/osipfoundation.  Follow on Twitter and Instagram @osipfoundation #howyouplaythegame.

My Producer's Back and He's Better Than Ever

In this episode, Sean returns from a hiatus following a major health battle to join Jack via remote connection.  The guys discuss the current state of sports as the pandemic begins to near a conclusion with a conservative resumption of play with sports, noting how basketball and hockey have their act together while baseball does not.  Keep the conversation going!  Visit www.osipfoundation.org.  Email podcast@osipfoundation.org.  Comment at www.facebook.com/osipfoundation.  Follow on Twitter and Instagram @osipfoundation #howyouplaythegame.

Throw The Football!

As Jack continues to fly solo during the pandemic and Sean's recovery from bronchitis (which has finally ended), we examine the local case of a high school teacher who yelled at two boys who were throwing a football around in an effort to release some of the quarantine stress.  It highlights deeper issues that relate back to sportsmanship:  many of these reactions come from hurt, which is why empathy is a requirement if we are to challenge the societal norms and push people to treat each other with respect.  Keep the conversation going!  Visit www.osipfoundation.org.  Email podcast@osipfoundation.org.  Comment at www.facebook.com/osipfoundation.  Follow on Twitter and Instagram @osipfoundation #howyouplaythegame.
