That's almost poetic in a way.

LMAO! Who bumps their own hatas thread after seven years?!
And weirder yet, who botches a comeback they've had seven years to work on so badly they're left with "."?

Rogan should've never interviewed Cormier post-fight. Dude had just been solidly knocked out - completely unfair to stick a mic/camera in a guy's face in those circumstances. I don't watch a great deal of UFC, but I didn't think they did that?

Weird series - a few great tries, but some poor refereeing (for both sides) and average play by both teams. The All Blacks will be pretty disappointed but they largely have themselves to blame. A red card and a yellow card in the last two games, lots of handling errors and some pretty average kickin...

Its Only the End of the World(2016) Another movie by our local faggot hero (Xavier Dolan) who makes every single one of his movies about a gay guy, with Marion Cotillard, Lea Seydoux, Vincent Cassel. 5/10 If this bothers you, why do you watch them? And does it bother you when straight directors mak...

All Blacks by twenty next week.

9-9 at the half, and I'm going to have to leave for a gig before it's done!

Side-note: SBW deserved to be sent off, no question from me or the local commentators. I don't think he was out to hurt the guy, but a 'tackle' like that is an easy red card.

Fark! 3-3 in shitty conditions with 55 minutes to go and the All Blacks are a man down. The Lions will never have a better chance than this.

Half-time in the first test.
All Blacks looking a little scrappy but after withstanding some early pressure they looked to be exerting their will on the game until that amazing Lions try pulled the game right back.

Crusaders pack just flattened the Lions scrum. How close is this to a full strength Lions side? My assumption was they might load up after the loss to the Blues...

Lions fall to the Auckland Blues (aka New Zealand's worst Super Rugby side).

Dive.

I agree with that particular critique of indie/new style wrestling to a point, but still, that match was well planned, well executed and felt like it mattered.

Takeover was excellent. Bates/Dunne was match of the year material.

ESPN is quickly becoming the MSNBC of sports. A joke. So sanitized, watered down and corporate. I always thought Sage was a great, great talent. What do they have her doing now? Oh, and them desperately, blatantly pandering to the black demo with the 6PM SportsCenter is...pathetic. What are they do...

So Aaron Hernandez got acquitted of two murders, and then killed himself? He was also serving life w/ no possibility of parole for another murder, so his future was pretty bleak there! Of course, but he had an appeal pending, and he'd made it this long. Still, no point trying to fathom that dude's ...

So Aaron Hernandez got acquitted of two murders, and then killed himself? Crazy end to a fucked up slice of NFL history.

This writer is a douchebag generally, but I found his take on Lions selections interesting.

WWE have been trying to get Roman Reigns over for 3 years and they finally accomplished it. He has nuclear heat now. In this era of hot shot booking, let's see what they do with it. They've accidentally built the biggest heel in a long, long time. Even though he was getting "no, we hate you&qu...

That's been the schtick for a while now.

They fought a Wrestlecon match on the Friday, RoH on the Saturday, Mania Sunday and Raw Monday. Should've done Ma Smackdown run-in just to round things off.

Hardy's are back now because the Broken Matt gimmick got so unexpectedly huge. They may be older, but they were doing big business outside WWE based on a current schtick, not just nostalgia. The crowd were chanting ' 'Delete' before they heard that attitude era theme tune. Exactly. They were only b...

Maybe so, but I guarantee when their initial tag run is done they'll bust out something very similar.

Underwhelming build up to Mania. Three high profile matches featuring part timers while a potentially excellent Neville/Ares match is bumped to the pre-show so there's time for a Pitbull/FloRida performance.

I'm sure this sort of opinion piece will irritate a lot of people - political correctness gone mad etc etc... Having said that I've always thought it was a pretty odd choice for English rugby anthem. I mean, great tune to sing along to, but weird, weird choice. http://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/27/spor...

He wasn't a sludger, he was my old flatmate. He got in the league one year when we were a team short.

this news would even make the casual fan wonder if he had a problem with alcohol or was abusing cocaine for an extender period of time. Actually, while the story makes it pretty clear he made some stupid, and ultimately tragic, decisions that night, it provides absolutely no evidence one way or the...

In a related note, I just looked at the Lions schedule for New Zealand and it's pretty brutal too. Ten games in just over a month including three tests, the Maori team and all five Super Rugby sides.
