The gravel in your sporting ice cream.
Can Piswiddle win the ashes? – Mitchell and Webb cricketing stupidity ahoy
Some guy wandering around booting footballs into places he shouldn’t, brilliantly.
Little Gary Neville takes life awfully seriously – here he is refusing to shake hands with old mate Peter Schmichael, who went to play for the other guys. He doesn’t look too bothered, though.
Photoshop comp – Unpopular movie-based video games. Har.
Some tennis guy kills a pigeon. Turns out one of the players is part of the scientologists’ avian wing. Bet he wishes he had Tom Cruise’s number now.
From their mad-eyebrowed coach to Tierry Henry, France were crapper than sandpaper undies at Euro 2008. Even their coach driver was woeful.
Here’s a great list of 100 things to love about sport. Baz McCullum gets a mention, but they’re awfully rude about the All Blacks. Strangely, hearing “Why does love do this to me” at 110db at a Rugby match isn’t there – must be #101?
Those American elections go on a bit, eh? This is much better.
Some good ol’ boys win some Ice Hockey trophy, then break it. They’ll have to pay for that out of their own money, I’d say
Gotta say, serial killers methodically going through teenagers at lakes and undead janitors existing largely in people’s dreams were much, much bigger for me growing up than Michael Jordan – and now Jason and Freddy have their own shoes. I’d like some Sean Of The Dead ones, please
Now that I notice, this is an alcoholic lager beer – 10%! Blimey! That’s quite a lot, isn’t it?
We’ve Been Planning This Sepia Wild West Family Portrait Too Long For You To Mess It Up. Har – You will honor your family holding a pose where you’re looking at your younger sister—who will be dressed as a dancing girl whether she likes it or not—in a respectful, yet slightly randy fashion.
Britain’s David Miller biffs his bike. I’ll probably do this to a keyboard at some point today
Sweet own goal – that would hurt in *two* ways
Everyone loves 70s Aussie Rules brawls, and that goes double when some flamin’ galah goes seppo and clocks a bloody ref – here’s not one but two
Heh – this guy takes pictures of his TV. Scroll down for the ‘Spaz’ one. He probably reads this site
The 17th at Sawgrass is the famous Island Green – given the chance, I’d make a complete hash of it I reckon – kind of like this guy.
After football on a Saturday, I’m often parked up in front of TV3’s three (three!) fishing shows waiting for the cramps to kick in – The ITM Fishing Show is definitely the best, new episodes are on now.
Some League guy kicks a goal. Is this news? He’s a prop, so yeah.
Bugger GTA IV – did you know it came out originally on the NES? I’m still stuck somewhere in between San Fierro and Las Venturas in GTA San Andreas.
Remember that time Cullen lost the ball over the line? At least he’s not this guy. He knows, even in mid-air, the people in green inflatable hats are going to be very disappointed with him. The words you, utter, utter and penis spring to mind
There’s little doubt Peter Schmeichel is a deeply complicated man – amazing saves one minute, hilarious Manc-accented rapping about bacon with, bizarrely, a Robert Palmer-style entourage the next
That insane-jumpered Nelson Bays guy gets bowled over. He knows he’ll never hear the end of it from the instant it happens. He’s smiling, but he’s not happy
Having grown up near Te Rapa Straight, one of our great impromptu race-tracks I can confirm that the ‘Tron is NZ’s rightful home of barely-legal street car action, so it’s only fair to hand the mean streets over to the pros for the weekend. Good luck to everyone heading to the V8s, and go the Chiefs
Everyone remembers that Colombian goalkeeper’s Scorpian save at Wembley – but can you score like that? Bloody oath
Alex Higgins is Snooker’s George Best, with outrageous talent at sport and the booze
Southampton turn into Brazil all of a sudden and Kev scores a wonder-goal – only to be ruled out. Robbed
Mitchell and Webb are really funny
Who doesn’t love own goals? Lee Dixon’s was number one with me for a long time, but now, there’s a new own goal sheriff in town – what a beauty. Fully THREE head in hands, and TWO knee sinks from the scorers’ team-mates. Magic
Soupy Norman is a dodgy Polish soap dubbed over by Irish comedians – yes, it’s that good
You want bacon? Then how about a Bacon Cheese Baconburger? Breakfast, lunch and dinner would be nice
Cricket? For the first time in my LIFE I switched from a test to watch Rugby League on Sunday afternoon, as we threw it away in the first innings. I’ll have more to say on this when I get a sec, but you should read Hamish McDougall and Paul Beige Brigade‘s roundups. Mike On Cricket has had excellent stat-y coverage throughout the series also.
Everyone loves Kevin Keegan, but depressingly predictably, he’s not the Geordie Messiah Newcastle fans were praying for, results-wise anyway. He’s not much of a cyclist, either. This clip comes complete with Alan Partridge-alike commentator and Kev’s insistence he’s OK, despite a mess of ripped flesh
Steve Nash is a big deal in the NBA – he’s also a Tottenham fan. Here’s a nice looking Nike TV spot he directed himself. You can see him kissing the Spurs badge midway through
Cross-linked from me other blog – The best muppet-based heavy metal primer you’ll see on the internet this week can be found here.
Wellington’s cricket crowd looked like they had a great time @ the weekend – here’s the guy falling over, always the litmus test of a great day out. Check out the pissy look on the fall-ee.
Chris Waddle is a Spurs legend – and he’s still got it
Newspaper cartoons are cool – Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Footrot Flats, etc. B3ta don’t think so, so they made them funny again – NSFW, some of it, and not for the taking offense brigade
Take the test (hat tip Audent)
