Fine Fine. No rugby shambles. I'll have to take my ENgland In Shambles to the cricket thread.. although it's highly unlikely they'll be in shambles again right?

Sir Bobby also had the best part of one of the best commercials ever, Carlsberg's "Old Lions" commercial, where he gets asked for his name because he's getting a yellow card.
"Name, please?"
(gobsmacked that someone doesn't know who he is)... ".... Charlton"
(referee shows yellow card) "No more, please..."

No surprise in the first semi, and now I'm actually wanting England to win more. It would be fun to see England get blown out and get to the "England in Shambles" posts.. but I'm TIRED of New Zealand-South Africa.

Remember that scene from the Replacements where angry players turn over Keanu Reeve's car?
The New Zealand rugby players did something similar with a fully loaded 4x4. Just moved it because it was blocking their team bus.

Thanks to my membership at ATT, I have the Premiership games to watch (I was going to do FloRugby, but $30/mo is a bit much!).
Started with Bath/Newcastle. Really fun game so far.
Bath look VERY good, but maybe Newcastle were making them look good so far.

England joins Scotland in Euro 2024, Now let's get Wales in there, and put em all in the same group for maximum lolz.

So, speaking of humongous upsets:
Netherlands shock South Africa by 38 runs. What in the actual cinnamon toast FUCK is going on at the World Cup?
(I decided that "South Africa in shambles" was running the bit into the ground too much.)

The Bills playing another Barnburner with the Giants.
No, I'm not saying it's a great game, I'm saying I want to lock both teams in a barn and burn it down.

England in shambles, cricket version as they lose to Afghanistan

You keep Cena "pulling" rick rude out of a respectable folder.. damnit.
And Christian Cage won, even before then, either by countout or disqualification. None of the fans who helped Danielson up had valid managerial licenses (I checked), so either we go with Danielson being DQ'd for illegal outside help or the countout. Big Bill and Starks were just evening up the odds.
(Funny, is this how @The Natural feels?

to avoid the delay of game penalty. it was at 00.1 before they called the time out. They wanted to make sure they used every second without having to snap the ball or give up yardage

I know one team was 2-3 entering the game, and the other was 4-2, but seeing Rutgers beating Michigan St is kinda "my how the mighty have fallen" in my head.
-
Well... Argentina played really well, and kept a strong defense late, holding on before they got a late converted try and a late (r) penalty made it look easier than it was . So no Northern Hemisphere sweep.

Can we get a certified etheric magisterium-qualified spiritual doctor to check Kane Williamson? He HAS to have a whopper of a World Cup curse on him
Considering the events of last World Cup cycle, to now, where he finally gets back in a game after seven months out with a thumb injury, in the world cup, and... takes a glancing throw off his thumb, cracturing it and costing him about a month, which could end his tournament.

The catch of the year just happened on a Saturday at 2 in the morning (eastern) in Colorado-Stanford.

Australia in shambles, Cricket version. Lost their second match of the tournament (and fourth straight overall, going back to last World Cup) in a record defeat to South Africa.
Honestly, no Australian national team should be playing in any sport until they lift the curse they're under.

Horrible week for Paradox: First, it's revealed that Harebrained Schemed laid off 80% of their staff after the Lamplighter's League won't hit their goals (They wanted to make Btech 2 but Paradox wanted their own IP that they could own and didn't want to pay Microsoft a cut), and now, their Stellaris meets Star Trek game: Star Trek: Infinite, is getting savaged. IGN gave it a 5 of 10, with the headline being "Star Trek: Infinite does a great job of capturing the look and feel of Star Trek, but those enticing bones splinter under the weight of its bugs and glitches."

Sucks to leave a conference en masse and screw over your conference mates, huh?
Between this and seeing Kentucky's coach going "Georgia has bought so many good players, our backers need to step up their spending and get better players in", I think it's time that we changed the college football paradigm. (Yes, I know it will never happen, but...)
Just make it a U23 pro league. There are currently 128 FBS teams and 133 FCS teams.
Divide FBS in to 4 32 team "leagues", each made up of 4 8 team divsions, divided roughly by geography.
Teams play each other teams in their division once (7 games), and can play any other team in the league with their other 4-5 games (which are treated like non-conference games currently)
The top team in each division, plus four wild-cards (determined by highest poll rankings) advance to an 8 team championship for the league.
Promotion and Relgation: The 8th place team in each division is relegated to a lower division (except in the lowest divsion of course). The 7th Place team division plays the quarter final loser in the playoffs for the league below in a promotion/relegation game.
So, this is how it'd look:
League 1: The four division winners and four wildcards play for the National Football Championship. Last place team gets relegated to League 2, 7th place team plays League 2 QF losers to determine who's in League 1 and who's in League 2
League 2: Four Division winners and four wildcards play in an 8 team tournament. Quarter-Finals winners are promoted to League 1, losers will play the 7th place League 1 teams for promotion. 8th place relegated to League three, 7th place will play QF losers of League 3 for promotion/relegation
League 3: Four Division winners and four wildcards play in an 8 team tournament. Quarter-Finals winners are promoted to League 2, losers will play the 7th place League 2 teams for promotion. Last place teams fall to league 4, 7th place plays Division 4's QF losers to stay in League 3
League 4: League 2: Four Division winners and four wildcards play in an 8 team tournament. Quarter-Finals winners are promoted to League 3, QF losers play the 7th place team to try to go up.
As new teams get filtered into FBS, the League 4 divisions will expand to 9-10 team divisions.. after 8 new teams join, then a new fifth League 4 division is formed (and then start to look in expanding)
This allows teams to be judged against teams of roughly the same caliber, but gives a number of slots to keep traditional rivals. If teams want to book games against lower level teams, sure.. but remember, the voters may judge you for it, if you don't play top competition and don't win your division, you're at the mercy of the voters to get into the playoffs (which are the only way to get promoted)-

I could never get a tattoo. I am extremely needlephobic (to the point I have a disqualifying panic attack when someone tries to give me a shot of novocaine in the mouth)

I want to see if they do Gary Hart in there. He mentioned that he had helped train the Von Erich kids, and pushed Fritz to treat them better.

4 hours ago, RIPPA said:
Dillon Brooks was ejected from his first preseason game with the Rockets
Brooks was tossed after being hit with a flagrant foul 2
The foul in question - punching Pacers center Daniel Theis in the dick
Brooks says he "didn't mean" to hit Theis and he was ejected because of his reputation
Best line I've heard.
Dillion Brooks was ejected because of DEEZ NUTS Oh wait, he was ejected because of Theis's nuts. Never mind

I'm wondering what would be funnier, if all four northern hemisphere teams win their QF, or 4 Southern Hemisphere teams. I think if all four Northern Hemisphere teams lost there'd be weeping, gnashing of teeth, but acceptance.. but if all four of the semi-finalist are Northern Hemisphere teams, the outrage from the usual suspects may very well throw the earth off its axis..

Pakistan chase down 344 to win over Sri Lanka. 98.2 overs, nearly 700 runs. It's such a different era. (remember when ODI were 60 overs, and 225 was considered a "par" score? I don't really, because I wasn't following the game at the time, but still)
