Good luck to the Blues and Crusaders in SA – it’s tough in the Republic, so I’ve pasted a ‘cartoon’ I did a coupla years ago below, enjoy…

– Turns out Youtube is a cavalcade of sledging – there’s Freddie Flintoff dealing to a junior West Indian, Kumar Sangakkara’s mental disintegration of Shaun Pollack in the last World Cup, but the best is Mark Boucher – that is HARSH

An utterly crap start to today, flipping between Sri Lanka thrashing NZ and Spurs going out of Europe. The only thing that could have made it worse would be if Rove came in and shat on the rug. Here’s some links, anyway…
– Matthew Hayden is the form batsman of the tournament so far – still, he’s pretty easy to wind up, as England find out, not to mention Glenn McGrath, age 12.
– A frankly stunning goal by Ricardo Quaresma – the ball seems to slow down in mid-flight
– Gazza’s semi final free kick – just to cheer me up
– Turns out Tiger did win the Masters after all – “I even came in second with all the strain, and I’m Tiger Woods”
– Vampire hunting kits – I would have LOVED one when I was 10. Bloody handy though, as we get into those cold winter nights
– Griffiths Games Megamart – the Brit gaming industry at its finest

– The Masters, my favorite Major is on this weekend – here’s Tiger with THAT chip from 2005. I love the way the camera shakes just after it goes in
– Speaking of which, Golf is manly blog Dethroner’s theme this week – it’s aimed more at guys not wanting to look like a dick in front of the boss or prospective father in law than hardcore golfers. Ahem. Still, there’s good advice on getting kitted up, including buying drivers, irons, used clubs, and balls.
– All Black selectors uncut – apparently there’s rugby on at the moment too. Here’s an entertaining write up from some guy who found himself sitting in front of Graham Henry and Wayne Smith at Saturday’s Chiefs v Blues match
– Harry Redknapp gets smacked in the face – I liked it when he tries to keep on doing the interview, but has to turn around and give out more verbal. Class
– Some great passing – football teams kick it around a bit. I could watch clips like this all day long
– Scarlett Johansson – the question we’re all asking (possible NSFW language)

– Valencia v Inter rumble midweek – Arsenal. Heh
– Jonty Rhodes – bless. I remember that World Cup of 92 and how cool and novel it was seeing the South Africans for the first time. They even had the aging Barry Richards, didn’t they?
