Stuff the details

Is it:

A. A placeholder page, with little details like the where, when, teams involved and outcomes of the fight to follow soon?

B. A teaser for a damming expose of violence in sport in general and those imported from the west in particular and what this means for post-communist society in Eastern Europe?

C. A flimsy excuse to share video of a sweet fight?

There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Graeme Smith came out bat in Sydney with his broken arm, but Neil McKenzie isn’t impresesed by such heroics. In fairness, it seems Smith has some form in this area.

sportreview.net.nz tribute to nerds who upload their xbox moves to the Internet: here’s an amazing goal, a ball / face coming together, a player DYING (complete with loving replays), and a double slide tackle. I need to get my PlayStation out again.

This video is called ‘The worst football tackle ever?’ Yes. Yes, it is.

Think you know comedy? You haven’t been to comedy school.

This is like one of those ACC ads. For God’s Sake, Don’t Go To The Football And Fall Asleep. YOU WILL BREAK YOUR FACE!

Fight! Fight! Fight! Gannets, seals, dolphins and frickin’ sharks all gang up on a bunch of sardines. *Spoiler* – the sardines lose.

‘The horror… the horror…’ ‘Bit of a late night, was it?

Links on Friday: David Lloyd tribute

David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd, the Lancashire batsman, umpire, coach and pundit has an amiable, relaxed style and regularly comes up with *gems*, like ‘the fridge has opened, he’s flown like a gazelle!‘ in his broad Wallace and Grommit accent. As promised on Hadyn’s Field Theory, here’s more Bumble:

Spotting a stray heat spot

Pitch report from ‘Lords’. Listen for the dubious groundsman name

Utter gibberish. Catford?

The best one, though, is when someone nicks his lawnmower. I wouldn’t want to meet his George.

Wussiest. Hockey Fight. Eva. This guy looks like a frickin’ Emo missing out on a Chuck Taylor sale. I thought the NHL was meant to be big tough lumberjacks and that?

I would love to see the All Blacks medics get involved like this, maybe with a ball and all tackle on the line, or some off the ball action at ruck time.

Back at work? Not happy? Skive off with a few rounds of Test Catch Cricket. It’s no penguin toss, sadly.

Bunch of hipster-types go to Austin, Texas to ride track bikes with Lance Armstrong. He kicks their arse.
