Sign of the Times: No Best Players, No Goal kickers...no wonder we're losing...

Spotted in The Age's review of the Demons-Bulldogs game:

With only Bulldogs players being identified as the Best on ground, or for kicking goals, there's little wonder the Dees lost.

Question of the Day: Where is the outrage?

NRL & AFL players get busted for taking peptides and it is called the 'Blackest Day in Australian Sport'.

And yet, when a former Test captain & 2 other recent international cricketers are busted for the latest round of match-fixing scandals, nothing is said.

Where is the outcry?  Why aren't the administrators of the game at least puffing up their chests in front of the media, swearing to clean up the game? 

Because they have too much to lose, that's why.

I'm sure they don't hate me personally, I'm sure its just contempt for all cricket fans, but it's hard not to feel betrayed.

Star Wars YouTube Video of the Day: WTF?!?

Question of the Day: Does mail to this address ever reach it?

Question of the day: What does this Truck do?

I don't know about you, but I've never seen a Tram in a situation from which it needs to be recovered.
Are they drunks?  Do they fall on hard times? 

And why do they need a truck to help them?

Sign of the Times: Naming conventions don't exist on the Island of Sodor

Rheneas?!

Thought of the Day: The World Cup is the AFLs Win

With the FIFA Soccer World Cup starting soon, media attention on the event and results are about to become all consuming.

The Australian team, The Socceroos, go into the tournament in the same group as Chile, Spain and The Netherlands; all much stronger outfits.  Even FIFA itself seems to rate Australias chances so badly that they are already last in the group table without a game being played:

Given the expected one-sided nature of these games, it is likely that many Australian sports fans will simply turn over to any channel that is not showing the World Cup to one that is showing a more competitive Sport...

Or not.
