The Granny Herald had the following headline: Golf: Tiger pulls out of tournament Without wishing to lower discussion here (below the normal basement level), but it ... http://theorange.co.nz/2009/12/01/more-tiger-trouble/ Here's a question. If Tiger's playing around (on his wife), does Steve Williams still handle his number one wood? http://theorange.co.nz/2009/11/30/tiger-trouble/ The guy's a complete plonker. Either that or a comedian like Rhys Darby who specialises in being funny by not being funny if you get what I mean. His latest epistle is Ten Things We've Learnt From the Autumn Tests. The funny thing is that he continues to deny that he's got the ... http://theorange.co.nz/2009/11/29/one-thing-we-know-about-stephen-jones/ Hey ... someone's got to spruik it :) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr3LTtZVMQQ[/youtube] Read about it here. http://theorange.co.nz/2009/11/28/levin-classic-2009/ I'm on a course today. A race course. Boom boom. Hoping to have a Classic Day :) Anyway, need a quick and dirty (as in fast not dirty ho) post so here we go - the ten most embarrassing moments in sport courtesy of the Granny Herald.

The Aussies are now blaming NZ and Pomgolia for the shocking form of the Wobblies. Eddie Jones: ''I think we've lost ... http://theorange.co.nz/2009/11/26/aussies-blame-poms-and-kiwis/ The first cricket test started yesterday in Dunedin. Yep, a test match in Dunedin in November.  Suppose we should look on the positive side ... at least it didn't snow. The test raised a couple of interesting points related to the toss. For a start, the game is technically a home game for ... http://theorange.co.nz/2009/11/25/what-a-tosser/ Yep, Stephen Jones - he of the The Times fame - tries hard. He's a real try hard. Ba da doom. Anyway, the Welshman who wants to be a Pom we most like to hate is suffering a bad case of amnesia.
