It’s only appropriate that I should finally flog something from the Onion – this site isn’t a shadow of the Onion but it did provide some initial inspiration.
For any petrolheads out there, here’s a nice take on putting the horses out to the stud:

Apparently, Ian O’Brien was subjected to name calling and insults at the Gabba.
The way the team batted, you’d have to wonder if the abuse was actually coming from the NZ selecters.

You’ve got to laugh at the Aussies – they lose a match and everyone else is to blame.
So the ref made mistakes?
The key ones would appear to be:
the Benji Marshall stripping call (play on) that lead to Ropati’s try
the penalty when Hohaia was pushed over the goal line

It seemed somehow appropriate that the Kiwis winning the RL World Cup is associated with the conquest of Everest.

All Blacks ‘aura’ can’t mask their own failings
OK, the AB’s record [...]

Out of habit, I got up to watch the haka live.
It was a bit of an effort given that the election wrap up had finished about 1 am. Mind you, there was more mystery about the election result than there was about whether the Scots could finally – ever – beat the AB’s.

I spend a lot of time in the car so i get to listen to a lot of Radio Sport.
It also means I normally get to listen to a lot of dickheads. Some even phone in.
When it comes to the Phoenix, the dickheads have come out in full force.
Originally it was Telfer who poo-poohed the [...]
