Hmm, I suspect Nathan Brown may be even dumber than he's previously let on.
Yesterday on Triple M, Howie was hanging sh1t on him for putting statements to, rather than asking questions of, interviewees. He was doing that, but big deal; heaps of people do it. Anyway, Nathan's response was: "No, they were questions; each one could have a question mark at the end. If they were the statements, they'd have an apostrophe at the end."
WTF!?!! And I think he said twice.
Firstly, I'd say he's mixed up apostrophes with exclamation marks, and secondly, exclamation marks are seldom used at the end of statements.

Tim Watson and Garry Lyon asked each other what their eyes tell them.
First it was all about “optics”, now it’s what eyes tell us.

Hamish pronounces Ah Chee (of Brisbane) as Archie.
Like many others, on TFS Matthew Lloyd referred to Australian rules football as 'AFL'.
"My son is playing his first game of AFL this morning", then it cuts to footage of a ten year old running around playing junior suburban Aussie rules football.
I don't say I'm playing NBA when I shoot a few hoops down at the local stadium.

Yes because that would be ridiculous, you're clearly playing in the NBL

one wonders why the AFL heavyweights have not ordered by decree that the sport is termed aussie rules.
one also wonders if people playing the sport of rugby league say they're playing NRL

Halftime on MMM Nath Browns saying Mumford this Mumford that oh he’s not playing. Then Darcy says that’s the biggest Clanger of the year then they all have a big laugh. Well guess who wasn’t laughing, Me I thought it was totally unprofessional.

Yes, funny, and shabby of him. However, sorry to nitpick, but he said it before the game and they replayed it at half-time

That’s correct I didn’t include that bit. Unprofessional of me also.

The newsreader April on SEN can't speak properly or pronounce words properly and it's pissing me off.
She cannot pronounce any word ending in 'ing' and sounds like she has a mouthful of marbles.
