Possibly the greatest thing I’ve EVER posted (since the last one): want to see Martin Crowe in a Chris Gayle headband? Merv Hughes thinking he can walk through things? Gavin Larsen so excited he could shit? Alan Border looking annoyed? Behold.

Ian Botham is a big sportreview favorite – he’s also huge among the Australian homeless

If YOU love Evil Dead 2, surely compulsory post-match viewing for any right thinking Rugby fan, get ready for Halloween with the ED2 Chainsaw arm

Loadsa larfs at the undead’s expense is all very well – but bloody hero @nickjfrost tells you how to survive an re-animated corpse infestation, for real this time

*Easily* the  most embarrassing thing I’ve ever heard. Coming soon to a Super 14 ground near you.

The old ‘pro driver makes passenger sick’ never gets boring. This week: Damon Hill.

Why not enjoy the Cricket this weekend with a refreshing beer, weeping, and a sick tomato?

Don’t think this guy really gets what batting’s all about. Hitting the ball and that. You can see him thinking ‘F**king YOUTUBE’ on the way back to the shed.

Six classic footballs. Tango = 1982 = undisputed champ

Arsenal 4 v Spurs 4 fanzone commentators. They got too excited at the start and left themselves nowhere to go, really.

Stroppy 70’s legend Johann Cruyff cusses out photographers, beats hapless defenders like they were The Joker’s henchmen, backheel volleys a goals with REPETICION, all to Thunderbirds music… this clip has everything.

I bet these real life Quiddich players were beaten up a lot at school. And running around with a broom between your legs? Someone’s on for a nasty injury, mark my words.

Zombie Harmony is one of the best undead dating sites on the web.

Rangas deserve everything they get.

Big time Basketball guy LeBron James gets his arse handed to him in a trick shot contest by some guy. He’s smiling, but he’s not happy.

Another reason to save pennies for a Wii – Beach Cricket. Still, XBox has Left 4 Dead… lucky I can play Doom on my Mac, eh? At least there’s some cool weapons.

Lazy Pommy journo in trusting Wikipedia shock – nice takedown on B3ta.

Never ever bloody anything ever. sportreview.net.nz lives their life by that rule.

Everyone loves Top Gear – but are they cool? Really?

“Zombies cannot run – so if you see a person running at you, it’s not a zombie. DON’T shoot him. Give him a high-five.” “You’re blocking one of your own guys out there!” “He doesn’t matter, my safety is more important than his.” This is all invaluable zombie-infestation survival advice, team.

Here’s how to make a single speed hipster bike.

Do I not like that – insane, foul mouthed England football coach doco.

There’s a lot of monkeys on the telly, as any Breakfast TV viewer knows. Turns out they’re pretty good at the Krypton Factor too. If I could just get my hands on a shaved simian to sit here for the day, I’d be set.

Zinc Oxide is everywhere – be careful out there, team

With computer games, I tend to go for Zombies and shotguns and any combination thereof. But if I played World Of Warcraft, I’d probably be this guy.

sport review best of 2007

I’m stoked 2007 is over, sports-wise. After three World Cups and a big yacht race for no trophies, we’re left to pick up the pieces after a year of early starts, late finishes, big build-ups and crushing disappointments. What have we learned? Nothing, if you believe Henry’s reappointment was a mistake (which I don’t), but 2008 will be very interesting indeed, with Robbie Deans leaving the rabid for success for the slightly shit. So bollocks to 2007, but it’s time to get over it.

Luckily, blogging-wise, I’ve really enjoyed it. Getting a cartoon in the paper was nice (another one soon!). I liked this one. And this one. This wasn’t a good idea.I loved making up news stories.

In 2008, I really need to get my shit together with a proper domain (keep your eye on sportreview.net.nz) and Wordpress, particularly before sportreview jr. comes along.

Here’s my best for 2007.

Sporting moment
Hard one. A couple of America’s Cup races were pretty amazing. I’m too childish to nominate Fiji v South Africa. Oher than a few Berbatov goals, it’s looking pretty bleak. I’m going for Luaki handing off Richie McCaw – it’s been that kind of year.

Web
Guardian Unlimited (football and sport) remain my go-tos for sport news, writing, and youtube clips. Locally, the Dropkicks podcast is the best in NZ sport on the web. I love the communities springing up at Sportsfreak and The Silver Fern – I wish I had more time to participate. I joined Facebook, and found it great for finding the long lost, but kind of annoying otherwise. I discovered last.fm. I really enjoy Public Address and Jason Kottke, still.

- Fido trailer – a Zombie in every home. WHEN does this come out in NZ?
- Denis Leary gives Mel Gibson a verbal beatdown – nice. Poor old Mad Max, first the Malibu mansion, now this
- The prince of own goals – This is magic. This is still my favourite own goal ever, though, just ‘cos it’s Arsenal, and a member of George Graham’s back four.
- Ryan Giggs, 7 gives his first TV interview – his media minder is Alex Ferguson, 16

- The Back Up – Yes, this would be great for a boring old home invasion, but in the event of an infestation of reanimated corpses… THAT’s when this little beauty would come into its own
- Here’s the video of that guy speeding through Paris in a Ferrari 275 – Wicked. As always, Wikipedia has the full story
- Modern day Cannonball Run – they’ve got a lot more gadgets and a lot less moustache than ol’ Burt and the gang
- Zombo.com – shut down the internet, NO site is going to top this one (needs sound)
