I was going to say, a sportsman’s biography of some sort.

I shouldn't be judgmental. I used to devour those books myself, back in the day.

"Their mids were too good early for the Tigers before they put the queue in the rack"

EDIT: he actually wrote the phrase twice in the same article!

lol. At least they didn’t go with “wrack”.

 

[sabso]

Sure this has been said before but Howie using a players last name when first mentioning them, then using their first name mentioning them two seconds later. Utter w***ery

BT states that Pat McAfee is intriguely interested in tonight’s game

While we're on the topic of Dermie, have you all heard this guy? Perfect impersonation.

"I don't even go this long!"

Love this clip, it is bang on, and I'm a huge fan of Derm.

"and we'll get to XXXXX shortly"

"and we'll talk about XXXX a little later on"

I couldn't giving a flying feck about what's coming later, shut the feck up and stick to the structure.

He's a good representative of the Shaw dynasty of intellectuals

Tom Morris: ‘If he didn’t speak, no one batters an eye lid.’

Sounds painful.

 

[thejester]

He’s also a classic example of someone who thinks he’s smart, when he isn’t.
Saying that, I don’t mind him, I’ve heard he’s a “ripping” bloke.

Said it before but the way he pauses before using a word he thinks is complex is one of the great faux-intellectual moves in footy.

IMO this is the best thread on Bigfooty. Funny, to the point, no bs posts.
Also, on Agenda Setters tonight during the Stocks segment on Nick Larkey

If he was impersonating Eva Peron it would be a clever joke.

Is he a barber when not commentating ?

Keep an ear out for a phrase that's becoming overused: "I was lucky enough", or similar.
"I was lucky enough to play juniors with him. I've been lucky enough to work here for several years. I was lucky enough to drive to the shops today. I was lucky enough to comb my hair. I was lucky enough to do up my shoe laces earlier"

Maybe it's another thing Huddo teaches them in their media training in order to sound humble.

That’s a very bad broken leg.
