This clip comes with a typically confused piece of Mexted commentary: “But it wasn’t a punch, Tony, I was watching off camera… oooh, he DID punch him… he did land it”. I’m convinced Muzza has absolutely no idea he’s on TV
– Dimitar Berbatov’s top three goals – courtesy of Soccer AM. If your name is Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger or Jose Mourinho, MITTS OFF!
– Love Tetris? Got dreams of being a pixelated block? – This is the Japanese gameshow for you
– Great Sgt. Pepper’s article – the ‘greatest album ever’ turned 40 a coupla weeks ago. For me, you can’t go past Abbey Road. Or Revolver. Or Rubber Soul, even. Ah feck it, ALL the Beatles’ albums are pretty shit hot, even when they let Ringo sing one

– Richie Benaud, 12, reacts to the underarm – This is fantastic, old Richie gives Greg Chappell both barrels. You don’t see this kind of honesty from commentators ANYWHERE these days
– Some guy defies certain doom to catch a football – never trust a fella with a ponytail seems to be the lesson here
– Hairy fingered UK football commentator Richard Keys swears – har, I always thought this guy was a dick, turns out I was right

– A Zombie fighting a Shark – You know team, I hadn’t used the ol’ Zombie tag for a while, and then I stumbled on this clip. Whoah. I might stop looking at the internets now, nothing’s going to top this. NOTHING. NSFW if your work isn’t into sub-aquatic re-animated corpses hungry for shark flesh and that
– Classy Tierry Henry goal – Henry plays for Arsenal and is a git. I don’t like him but this goal… it’s OK. I ‘spose
– Another very nice goal – by Totti, he of the amusing name
– Passive aggressive notes blog – I love it, although not as good as a shark fighting the undead, obviously
– Cyclocross gone wild – cyclocross looks like fun, and a cyclocross bike (a kind of road / MTB cross) looks like it’d be ideal for commuting
– Boogie Nights meets Star Wars – genius

– James Hunt post race interview – what a legend. I enjoyed F1 when I was living in Britain, as (like me mate says) you could watch it on a Sunday afternoon after coming home from the pub. I’d probably make the effort to catch the races if more drivers were like this bloke. And it wasn’t really boring and that.
– Six FA Cup finals to remember – Good to see Spurs in this list twice. We used to win it all the time, you know!

– Wow – Argentinian Lionel Messi scores for Barcelona. Handily for The New Maradonna they’ve put his goal next to another famous Argentinian’s finest hour – uncanny

– 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
– John McEnroe loses it – he even has a pop at the crowd
– This table football table is the business – it’s a pretty fun game if you can get over that whole Joey / Chandler thing. Still, if you’ve got the room there’s no excuse for not going for a pool table, really

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)
