Just to prove I’m over the RWC (did you see that the ref WAS told it was a forward pass!!!???), here’s a little gem.
The North Melbourne Kangaroos are being pressured to relocate to the Gold Coast to boost the presence of AFL in Queensland.
Queensland already has a relocated team – the Brisbane Lions – who [...]

The Granny Herald (ok, fair suck of the sav, their web site is more grand than granny) has reported that one story has clocked up over 1000 of pages of comments.
I’m happy with one. That’s one comment, not one page.
So, if you’re one of the three people who hasn’t worked out why the AB’s lost, [...]

Yes, the Red Sox have smashed the Rockies sweeping the World Series 4-zip.
Wild celebrations are reported at Fenway in Boston and the emerging baseball powerbase of Dubai (just in case Rick’s reading this).
Perhaps the AB’s could learn a trick or two from the Sox about breaking hoodoos.
Let’s just hope that the AB’s hoodoo doesn’t like [...]

This post is not about a bunch of fatties who transcend the odds and the fats to become Adonis-es.
The Brits – who are even better losers than NZ – have come up with a list of their top 50 greatest losers.
We shouldn’t sneer given we tend to celebrate coming fourth! What would the AB’s give [...]

Yet again, my sub-editing skills are wasted on an audience of less than one.
Nevermind (as Nirvana once said), it’s World Series time of the year and the Boston Red Sox are taking on the Colorado Rockies.
The Sox took on history a few seasons ago and broke the curse of the Bambino. Makes you wonder if [...]

I’m sure somewhere there is an addon that would allow me to count down to the end of 2007.
The year that promised so much (dreams count) has delivered absolutely nothing.
Cricketers – yet another semi (mind you, the AB’s didn’t even manage that).
America’s cup. Another second (or first loser as my daughter bluntly puts it).
The rugby. [...]

Thank the Heavenly Pasta that’s over.
Now we can get back to bagging the ref!

I really should let go.
Really.
But this little snippet in the Guardian made my eyebrows hit the ceiling.
Not only did the referee gets his butt kicked into touch, but so did the touchies.
Yes, the All Blacks have to take responsibility for losing but so too do the officials and the IRB for appointing a referee who [...]

Blamestorming is a great corporate activity.
In short, you sit round the table and work out who to blame when things go pear shaped.
Which is just the ticket for the AB’s world cup campaign.
The initial reaction after THAT game was to blame the ref – THAT forward pass, THAT sin bin, the lack of penalties in [...]

PS. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Thanks Craig for this one!
