An interesting insight into 'America'
Television has been such a strong influence on our society - the English speaking society, the same with Francophones in the French speaking world, and whatever language sphere etc etc
But American tv has...

Sydney's unwillingness to use Olympic Park after the Olympics is a well documented case (ie NRL clubs are embarrassed to play out there and Sydney Swans just dont play there)
What will become of...
Does anyone here watch this show?
Its an insane sport, where durability gets tested. The majority of the contestants are extreme sportsmen, a lot of the standouts on NW only weigh 60kg, which is an advantage when it comes to pulling themselves up (which they still can,and they only have 60kg...

^ Interesting discussion about this
Its the same issue concerning society, the same as cigarette advertising in the 80s. Other issues related: prohibition and the other monster- advertising for gambling/ betting

I dont think its helping the AFL that much in those regions
Because FNF goes live in direct opposition to 9's FNF
Personally I preferred the 11pm delayed telecast in Sydney because I had the chance to go out, get drunk, come home and watch the AFL late at night with the lights and the volume...
This is Living!
Well.. not really
Although I should ask- what brings these on? No doubt this is a creation of the American empire for worshipping something that is not real, or immortalising something that was just there
Anyway (hypothetically) who would you dress up to be if you were to...
I am a victim of this condition where the body is built to sit in front of a computer / tv all day. and develops an itchy rash when i exercise [/excuse]
Some people say the itchiness is caused by the sweat? Or is it just an allergy by the body to the idea of exercise in general?
Also any...
I want to know what they are doing for the matches not involving Australia
ie Sri Lanka and India?
Im pretty sure Foxsports should get these matches, neutral matches are ratings poison on FTA! And given that theyve tightened up on the tv coverage of cricket to only involve exploits of the...

18 points for the Knicks today in a win over the Jazz
We wont know where hes going to end up later on in his career
But we do know hes quite outspoken about his ethnicity and how he hasnt been given a fair go because Pro ballers are all african...
Im not saying Im defending him or anything
But if you think outside the box - admittedly he did it to the extreme. He does prove of the concept of Free speech in Australia
He proved that we are entitled to an opinion, even though he made his proof directly to the subject matter in question
Of...
Granted the chances of that happening increases more in an ODI and a T20 because the other team didnt get enough wickets for the number 6 (who's not a bowler) to come out and bat and theres only 1 innings in the match
But this guy has the most ominous Test record in that he didnt do anything in...

That is all I have to say about that
When stuff like this happens it takes away from the allure of the competition
Not so accurate on the exact details, so feel free to correct me on these->

Hernan Crespo netted the most in the auction
It seems like the Indians want to become more prominent in the global football stage by throwing cash left right and centre for old has-been veterans designed to prop up their mediocre local leagues...
Im sure there are a few here who like the cozy comfort of going to an indoor venue to watch their favourite bands play
But tonight's experience of watching Mike Patton play with his Italianic themed band Mondo Cane in a torrential downpour brings back memories of gigs past, I have not been to...
Should they reduce the number of challenges or get rid of them altogether?
It isnt making much of a difference to the flow of the game, and 99% of challenges by players are unsuccessful
Players make unforced errors, why cant the lines people and chair umpire be allowed to too?
If they got rid...
Its been on SBS
It was flogged to death on the promos all December, to the point the everything you saw in the promo has already been seen.
It is understandable why there was so much crime and violence from the Viets for their shaky integration into Australian society. I was very distant from...
Im not sure if this goes in the Training and fitness board?
In reference to Dipper being on a celebrity weight loss show, and seeing the way Warrick Capper looks these days this warrants a thread!
But why is it a common phenomenon to see players go so badly out of shape so dramatically and so...

It was on ABC 2 this evening, its pretty much a career recap of one of the bigger bands to come out of England in the 70s
They werent the most humble band going around with pompous/ bombastic ideals on their music , but they sure made some "cracking toons"
Not really a fan myself, my cousin...
