I also have a painful confession.
I have never watched a Star Trek movie, nor an entire tv episode.
And yet, I find myself inextricably drawn to watching this movie. Maybe it's my love of Jabrams and Pegg, but still...it's Star trek ...I'd have to mock myself. And that seems like a lot of work.

(If one can make the internet explode from overuse of sarcasm, I want to be the first to know.)
Between the two of us, we are giving it a good go.
Actually, I find rugby suffers greatly in a televised format because you can't see what the rest of the players are doing.
Definitely. It's so much easier to understand what is going on in real life. Same with cricket, really.

My point wsa more along the lines that I can't imagine watching the game one player at a time, at least I find I can't.
I find I am fascinated by how some players play, and I like watching them off the ball as much as when they have the ball. I do the same thing watching basketball. And sometimes rugby, though that tends to be for a different reason.

Happy as I am that netball is still on free to air tv, I do find myself screaming at the telly on occasion.
You know, i find that tremendously hard to believe.

On standing and stopping - sure, if you're watching one player but follow the ball and do those games fly...
And even if you were watching one player, they are not standing still for long at all. Both attacks are almost always right up at the transverse line, and as defense gets better and better the centre third is becoming more involved in the attack.
It's hardly the sedate sport for ladies it once was.

- is a non-contact sport
I've got a massive lump on the side of my head thanks to a collision with someone's elbow at social indoor netball that begs to differ.
And compared to me, those girls are insane.

You're so right about the shoes Haydn. You'd think Adidas wouldn't let the netballers step out in anything other than their own product.
I don't think Adidas make specialist netball shoes. Or if they do it's only a couple of styles, whereas Asics make about 7 different variations. (Not that I'm trying to equal Hadyn's shill status.)

European basketball is pretty big (they even try to steal NBA players now) but the NBA didn't have to play games in Europe for that to happen.
Yeah, but basketball was big in Europe before the NBA reached its current popularity.
If you were wanting to grow your sport in overseas markets, how else would you do by staging exhibition matches?

I believe this is what SANZAR has to do to revitalise top-tier rugby. Make the Super 14 (or whatever it will be called) a proper Pacific nations version of the Heineken Cup. The top three teams from New Zealand, South Africa and Australia, plus the top Japanese side (all decided by internal competitions) and somehow some Argentineans in a knock-out style tournament.
What about the actual Pacific Nations? Surely if we are going to include Argentina, we could include some contribution from the currently-being-played Pacific Rugby Cup?

And Megan got a shout-out, too.
When I saw him after, I moaned that I hadn't got a shout out. Now I feel bad that everyone by me heard that part.
