Steve McClaren might be sacked before this match even ends.

Spectacular finish to the NRL Grand Final.

Thrilled for Thurston.

I'm no fan of NRL, but that showed up our humdrum grand final.

As a Boro fan I really want to see McLaren have some success - just not with Newcastle

One of their best in the last 50 years. Stunning finish. Feel sorry for Hunt dropping that kick off.

I'm fairly certain Harry Kane's corporeal form has been taken over by Roberto Soldado.

Queenslands cricket team is fast becoming like the Carlton of the Matador cup.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Woke up to a thrashing of Man United and the news that Rodgers had been sacked.

I've had worse mornings.

Sergio Aguero bagging five against Newcastle was a joy to watch. He's a king among men.

Also, while Sterling might yet to be showing he's worth the big contract, De Bruyne absolutely is.
His goal on Saturday, along with the pass across the box to Aguero for his 5th was top shelf.

Would of preferred Rogers didn't get sacked. Means they probably have Klopp tee'd up.

Cameron Bancroft is going absolutely nuts in the Matador Cup today. If he isn't our next opening bat then sack the selectors.

Currently hunched over the toilet bowl at Costco. Ate my 2 buck hotdog and oversized sundae way too fast.

Doesn't qualify as a sport

Also please for the love of God play Travis Head and not Voges.

Too early.

Is that wordsmith a comedy or is it meant to be taken seriously?
I am too tired to tell

 

[Wizard17]

Too early.

Not if he continie to make doubles.

The Chicago Cubs clinched a Playoff spot tonight when the San Fransisco Giants lost to Oakland. It is the first time in seven years that the Cubs have made the Playoffs. They will play the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League Wildcard game.

I just hope it isn't a loss and out like the Doggies.

It wasn't. Cubs beat the Pirates 4-0 and now play our arch rivals, the St Louis Cardinals,in the National League Division Series.

Jake Arrieta is a god.

Catch any of the Wolves game today d0gs? Needed some alone time after Towns started taking the piss. Jones looks a loooooong way off though.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Dannnnnnnnnn, is teammates going berserk on the intentional fouls late in the game standard in 2K?

I'm sick of being in with a shot only for Tyus Jones to repeatedly slap the opposition PG in the head and gift them 8-10 late game points.

It's standard in the NBA in close games. As the game gets close to the end the leading team will deliberately use up some time to make their lead more difficult to overcome. Deliberately fouling them as soon as they get the ball means that the clock stops, there's no risk of conceding a 3 pointer, and they're a chance to miss their free throws and make the lead more manageable. It can and does work out. 2K does get a little trigger happy on it sometimes but for the most part, you don't want the leading opposition to soak up a full shot clock when the game's close and nearly over, even if you do think you can get the win.

Makes sense. Seems a little shameless and over the top in this instance, though.

Might be nice to see him make a FC century first.
