Have Parra already won??

Reading today's telegraph you would be forgiven for thinking it was Monday morning 5th October. Every page is just about dedicated to The Eels, yet correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure the game is still some 4 days away. Has anyone heard who they are playing? Is it The Storm??

It seems these idiotic supporters have learnt absolutely NOTHING since 2001 (The Greatest Overall Grand Final Choke in Modern League History). And where have all these supposed 'fans' been hiding all these years?? Easily the most painful fans in the comp. I don't include Souths fans because they are simply not human

Golden Boy Policy

Yet again the NRL's "Golden Boy Policy" reared its ugly head yesterday with Jarryd Hayne getting off his kneeing charge. I can't believe he can play in the GF after what he did. I believe it proably wasn't intentional but he was very careless, even reckless and clearly kneeded Bronson Goodwin (couldnt happen to a nicer bloke) in the head at speed. Hayne should be at least sitting out this week and possibly round 1 next year. I know it isnt as bad as leading with the feet but it can be just as dangerous, maybe even more so if you collect the player flush.
This is where my Golden Boy Theory comes in. Any time one of the Leagues "Golden Boys" get in trouble, the NRL finds a way to get them out of it. They also get preferential treatment and honours they don't deserve a lot of the time. Thurston should have gone for his kick on the Wolfman, GOT OFF. Thurston shouldn't have polled 2nd in the Dally M. Justin Hodges threatens to kill NSW players on live TV in front of kids, NO WARNING. Brett Stewart did get 6 weeks but even the NRL couldnt sweep that under the carpet. 6 weeks was probably too lenient considering he was the focus of a multi million dollar marketing campaign.
Any high profile poster boy will get treated better than your everyday pleb. I bet if Joel Reddy or Todd Lowrie landed them knees they would not be playing on Sunday.
I am not a Parra or Melbourne fan but want consistency. Cameron Smith was rubbed out last year because everyone wanted to see a Manly GF win rather than Melbourne. How must he feel right now?

One of the greats

The NFL is underway and I couldn't be more excited. I was on youtube watching highlights of Adrian Peterson who is currently the best player in the NFL as he is an unstoppable freak. While I was searching through i saw a link to some highlights of my favourite player growing up- the one and only Barry Sanders who would own every record in the book if he didn't retire in his prime, sick of playing for the retarded Lions. The moves on this guy are undescribable. Enjoy.

More League Shame

When I heard about the latest disgraceful behaviour involving league players it didnt surprise me 1 bit. The all in brawl between Blacktown City and Lower Mountains on the weekend was just another nail in the coffin for rugby league this year. It was also another case of "coconuts" losing their very small minds.
After conceding the game with a late try the Blacktown thugs knew they couldn't win so they started bashing anyone with a blue jersey on. If you have seen the footage these under 17 Blacktown kids are clearly a lot bigger than their opponents and took full advantage of the size advantage by punching, kicking and kneeing all and sundry. For the guy who got 20 years I say "its not enough"!!!!!! This grub of society should be locked up for his dog act behaviour or fuck off back up your tree overseas. This shit has been going on since I was playing for Lower Blue back over 10 years ago. Win lose or draw these monkeys just want to fight, bite and show that they are bigger and stronger than the poor little white boys. No doubt the grub who got 20 will end up playing rugby or go by another name and play league in another comp.
The NRL has to answer to this aswell after the state of Origin fiasco where everyone was throwing punches and stiff arms. What a great example to set, and this was by the best players we have in the game.
I have talked about this before over a few beers and the solution is;
1. Weight restrictions. You are weighed before the season and play in a weight category to suit you size. Mandatory weigh ins every week before play aswell.
2. Coconut only comp. All islanders play in their own comp where they can bash the shit out of each other week in week out.

Worlds biggest kicks

">

For no particular reason I thought I would show you the worlds biggest ever kick at goal. Malcolm Blight back in the day kicked this monster to win the game.

WWF All time favourites.

I was listening to triple M this morning when out of the blue "Hulk Hogan" came on an guest hosted for 45 minutes. This brought back great childhood memories and a great new discussion topic. "Who was your favourite wrestler". Not the new age WCF rubbish, I am talking about the old school WWF (before the World Wildlife Foundation copyrighted the name and ruined wrestling) which was on when I was a youngster.

I personally was always a big Hulk fan, wanted to be a "Hulkamaniac" and was partial to "The Hart Foundation" (Brett Hart and Jim the anvil Neidhart) as a tag team.

I know it is borderline sport/entertainment but I am interested in your thoughts.

'Aussie' Kim

Congrats must go out to 'Aussie' Kim this week who ridiculously won the US Open after only a month back from retirement and motherhood duties. She actually resembles a human being these days too and looks reasonably happy and settled (wouldn't you after breaking up with that turd Lleyton Hewitt).

It doesnt say a lot for the current state of women's tennis though does it. In fact it's a joke really. Almost as big a joke as the monkey's meltdown in the semi at the linesman. I can't blame the little Asian one for running scared to the ref. I personally, would have shat my pants whilst running out of the stadium Forrest Gump style if that BBA (Big Black Animal) was threatening me from 5 yards. Reminded me of Sigourney Weaver in Gorilla's in the Mist a bit

The Worlds Grubbiest and Dirtiest Sporting Countries

In the previous posts, PAWD ( I assume writing under the guise of Mrs PAWD) started the discussion about the Worlds Filthiest, Grubbiest, Dirtiest and Cheatingest (not a word, but still) sporting countries.

Here is my rundown of the Top 5 dirtiest sporting countries on Earth.

1. Argentina.
When we think of cheating soccer teams, we think of Italy. When we think of dirty rugby teams, the French and the Boks spring to mind. I put it to you that the Argies have them covered in both areas. This is the country whose greatest ever player not only is a massive coke fiend but his most famous play the "Hand of God" was the most blantant foul in soccer, possibly sports, history. And now he's the coach.
The word for the rugby team is "subhuman". Where they find those neaderthals they pass off as front rowers, I have no idea, but I suppose it's a better option than the GPS fags we keep trotting out. Unless you have regard for eyeballs, which the Argies clearly don't.
2. South Africa.
Their rugby coach claims that gouging is just part of the game, the whole forward pack is routinely the largest in the world (ie biggest roid munchers) and their most successful cricket captain since apartheid was a match fixer. So they have a lot going for them.
3.France
The rugby team is second only to Argentina for eyeball rearrangement and they are probably the foremost practitioners of the testicle squeeze and head rucking. Unfortunately, their soccer team is regarded generally as a classy bunch.
4. Italy.
Although diving is a part of soccer world wide, in Italy is has been perfected. Seem to be fairly effective sledgers too as evidenced by Zidane's meltdown. I know the Aussie cricket team can sledge, but I'm not sure they call opponents Mums whores and say they fuck thier sister. Not since Mcgrath retired anyway.
5 (tie) Pakistan and India
These two countries are basically the reason that neutral umpires are in Tests. Javed Miandad NEVER got out LBW in a home test and I'm sure Gavaskar would've had less than 5. Pakistans most successful captain since Imran not only was the main runner for bookies but was nicknamed the Rat. The Indians now run world cricket and protect the biggest grub in world sport- Harbajan- even though he habitually racially slurs opponents. if the shoe was on the other foot, they'd be out for blood. I think I hate the Indian cricket team more than any team on Earth.
Honourable mention-
England.
Invented the concept of the "hooligan", won the Ashes due to stalling in the first test and pitch doctoring in the last test. Also stretched the rules in 05 with a crucial run out by a dodgy sub fielder. And don't think we've forgotten about Bodyline either you soap dodging fuckers.

What the F#ck is going on?!?!

I always knew South Africans were cheats at sport and life in general, especially on the rugby field with their dirty eye gouging, biting tactics etc, but this just about takes the cake.

Reports are coming through that this thing was gender tested by SA Officials 8 months ago, and they still decided to race 'her' in the World Champs last month.

Just another chapter in the multi volumed Shame Files of South African history I'm afraid.

Shame shame shame

Most Underrated Ever.

One of the joys of foxtel are some of the old stuff you see and the occasional doco such as ESPNs Legends of Cricket. The episode on AB was on the other day and fuck me if he's not the most underrated cricketer and captain in Australian, or overall, cricket history.
Consider the following-

* Set the record for most runs ever

* Played in over 150 CONSECUTIVE tests. That's over 16 years without missing a single test, anywhere in the world.

* Easily the toughest, hardest bastard in modern cricketing times

This man taught the likes of Warne, Waugh etc how to be tough, how to win and what it means to wear the baggy green. He didn't motivate and worry about touchy feely shit- he batted tough, he tore strips off anyone who played soft and he ONLY cared about winning. Everyone now considers Taylor and Waugh to be better captain because they were more "imaginative and exciting". Bullshit. AB took over in 84 when we were in the shitheap, and style points were the furthest thing from his mind. If he was a cranky prick, and he probably was, it was because he was sick to death of losing and it was completely necessary to lead by example as a hard bastard. Again, it's easy to be imaginative when you are captaining a juggernaut attack with the likes of Waugh and Mcgrath. Not so much when it's Bruce Reid and Tony Dodemaide.

As a batsman, AB was possibly even more underrated than as a captain. He averaged over 50 when for a good part of his career he was the only genuine test calibre batsman in the team. This was when fast bowling attacks around the world were undoubtedly stronger than now- the Windies onslaught, Hadlee, Botham, Imran etc all at their peaks. And time after time, AB would be there when all around him crumbled.

Allan Border is arguably the best captain ever, as he set up the greatest cricketing dynasty of all time. He was also a champion with the bat- yet when the discussion of "greatest since Bradman" is raised, he is never mentioned. Why?

He is the ultimate in substance over style, and the current team could use more blokes like him.

Grub shouldn't win!

Jonathon Thurston, aka "The Grub" should not win the Dally M tonight in what would be a blight on the game. As I have stated previously, he is the GOLDEN BOY of the NRL and gets points a lot of the time unwarranted. I will admit he was very good up until the end of origin. Post origin he has been quite ordinary and should not have polled pretty much any or many points. He should have also been suspended for that dog act kick on Williams in origin game 3 which would have cost him Dally M points aswell. But because the sun shines out of his ass he got off the charge lightly and didnt lose any points. I would very much like anyone else to win tonight, Hayne, Marshall, Gidley, Soward but no doubt they will all be pipped, and we will all scratch our heads when Thurston polls points that he doesnt deserve and wins the medal.
