  1. Weekend Update (with more me, and less Saturday Night Live.

     

    First of all, Holy shit at the New Zealand-Italy result. We were expecting a tushy-whompin, but.. uh.. not THAT much of a tushy-whomping. 14 tries against a tier1.5 nation? You'd think the Italian players had insulted the New Zealand nation. (actually, now that I think about it, Italy played so shit, it was an insult to the national sport of New Zealand)

    Big banana skin game for Fiji tomorrow. Australia are hoping against hope that Fiji step on the banana peel and slip up to allow them a chance to qualify. The 'Boks will have to put on a bonus point win against Tonga to guarantee themself safety. If they don't and Scotland gets two bonus point wins (vs Romania this weekend, then next week against Ireland), they'd pip the group, and Ireland would advance over South Africa by H2H tiebreaker

     

    If Australia lose to Portugal (this weekend), would Australia even wait till the end of the tournament to sack Eddie (No, I don't expect them to, but the way the Aussies have gone lately)? Either way, it's going to take some doing for them to avoid being shunted out before the QF. Over in Pool D, looks like next week's sargentina-japan game is a quarter final eliminator game (assuming Argentina don't eff it up against South American side Uruguay

    I would have had Wales as the first of the Home Nations eliminated from the group stages, who knew the Australians were going to be so bad?

    (dramatic zoom cut to a view of Earth of Space)

     

    That's who knew Australia were going to be bad. EVERYONE. Maybe not this bad, but the fact that their coach basically spends more time fighting the media than actually, you know, coaching.. had to be a huge red flag.

  3. Love how Khan is being carny about the rumored "AEW is buying New Japan" BS.

     

    Wouldn't be surprised if he announces a closer working relationship with them during WrestleDream

     

    edit: I wonder if he'd be interested in buying NJPW's library, if only to make themselves look better for a WBD-Max deal.

  5. Someone should hack NFL's youtube, and sometime in the highlights for Miami-Denver (probably the first half), they should insert the screen that comes up when you have an extremely lopsided Madden multiplayer matchup.

  6. You know that old ESPN This is Sportscenter commercial where Dan Patrick informs Evander Holyfield that Charlie Steiner thinks he's the third best heavyweight.. from Georgia?

    Someone must have told the Dolphins that they were the third best team.... from Florida.

  7. Just to follow up on that story...

    My brother, a former referee now a high school JV coach had a similar story.  This was an U-14 Div 2 Promotion/Relegation game. One team slipped an illegal player onto the field. (After checking the players cards, unbeknownst to my brother, the coach switched the uniform of one player with the illegal player.)

    At halftime, my brother's AR gets a call from the fed.. Apparently the team's manager had called them warning them that they were going to do this, so they had my brother stop the game, have the coach rehand out the player cards, and one by one brought them to the center of the field and asked them to confirm their name, and birth date. One kid gave the wrong info, and the jig was up.

    Apparently, as a result, the coach was banned for life, and the team disbanded.

  8. File under "Only in MLS"

     

    Player for Montreal FC, fed up with his playing time (only eight substitute appearances this season), decides he needs playing time, and plays three games for a friend's amateur league team (under a fake name), cops an indefinite ban for punching another player out, gets caught, and gets fired. Although he CAN point out he scored six goals in those three games...
