    While the All Blacks didn't exactly put up a cricket score

    I think the BLACKCAPS would be quite chuffed to be 22/3 at this stage.

    Note: Irony is used incorrectly in that sentence.

    Holden Racing Team - sometimes just wish the whole damn company would drop off the face of the Earth, THIS is a good week.

    I second that :) C'mon Frostttttyyyyyy!

    I think the Bostonians have a saying: "How do you like them apples?" Though to be fair I was incredibly tense through the whole thing.

    Yeah. I'll give you that one. The irony is intense. If Favre hadn't signed with the Pats and Brady had still gotten injured, Favre probably woulda been the first person they'd called.
    TBH I doubt Brady will play for the Pats again.

    Hehe, I'm a Patriots fan. Have been since I was eight.
    I think the reason people 'hate' the Pats is because they're so clinical. I see them like the Crusaders.
    The same 'unexciting gameplay' argument could be applied to the Patriots. They're about short yardage gains [mainly] and are not afraid to run the screen play after play after play after play.
    Their players reflect this. I do get bored of it sometimes, but support them nevertheless [The Patriots that is, not the Crusaders. Hate those f*****s.]
    My other team in NFL though is more comparable to my S14 team [Hurricanes]... The New Orleans Saints. When they win, it's through flashy 50 yard runs/70 yard passes/interception TDs. When they lose, it's because they've just fallen apart.
    I second the Denver Broncos hate-age. It seems every time the Saints or Pats go up against them and I manage to catch the match, they lose. Like the time I missed my flight out of ChCh to watch the playoffs match.

    But as to the team I just wish a curse upon on a nightly basis? The Blues. I still remember the days of the massive trouncings of my beloved 'Canes. Even though the tables have turned, there's still something sneaky about those little b______s*.

    *Ali Williams and Joe Rokocoko excluded.

    Ten, unless adidas have stopped putting logo's on their boots.

    Dunno about the Blacks, but my adidas boots have one logo on each side of each boot... Plus one at the rear.

    I think Mackintosh's problems come down to the fact that in ANZ Cup the referee's have stopped using the word pause. It's just 'Crouch. Touch. ENGAGE'

    But I do agree with you that it is up to him to change the way he plays to suit the referee.

    Would Jenkins' campaign for gay rights if any of his children were homosexuals?

    Homosexual sports players in sports are a tricky one. Teams [especially in the States] have obligations to sponsors as well as their coaches.

    But of course, it isn't just a US thing. Can anyone name 5 openly homosexual athletes from Australasia?

    Did anyone win an office sweepstake?

    Ours had a $5 and $2 sweep. Nothin in the $5, but I won $12 for 2nd in the $2! Bauer, you sweet thing.

  • Field Theory: Athletes and Dicks,

    I think the expression you are looking for is "were killed."

    They didn't die, they just went home.

    In many sports, the players would have stopped playing, grabbed their bat, and marched up into the stands to teach him a lesson.

    But cricket is a gentleman's game...
