Hey there….. where have you been? …….. Me? I’ve been here the whole time…….. Oh. I was just minding my own business, keeping to myself…….. Sorry, I didn’t realise you were waiting for me.
Anyway, I’m here now, briefly, to register my predictions for tomorrow’s Superbowl XLIV, featuring the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis [...]

NBA Season Preview
October 28th, 2009 · No Comments
Ooooh yeah, I’m excited. The NBA’s 09-10 Season kicks off today with a doubleheader on the coolest thing to happen to Australian TV in the 00’s, ONE HD.
This looks like one of those seasons where the top 5 teams (in my opinion, the Lakers, Celtics, Magic, Spurs, and Cavs) are clearly a level above [...]

WTF Were They Thinking?!? - Slam Dunked

Ouch. This brings back memories of dunking off the mini tramps in the Toormy High gym back in the good old days. Thankfully we weren’t trying to set any world records.
NBA Challenge Results + Playoff Bracket

Anyone who has read my status updates on Facebook in the last week would know NBA playoff time is one of my favourites times of the year. I was initially excited about the promise of great coverage on the recently launched ONE HD, but that’s dissipated since I learnt they were only featuring 2 games [...]
The Best Ever

Michael Jordan was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame this week, which seemed enough of an excuse to link to a (debatable) Top 10 of his Airness’ greatest dunks. Amazing. And a great choice for #1. How many times do you think MJ has reminded his best friend Charles Oakley (the New York [...]

February 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment
I started this last year with a review of the Super Bowl 42 commercials, and thought I should again break out a rundown of my favourite and least favourite ads from this years Super Bowl (see them all here. thanks to the wonders of YouTube).

Love the juxtaposition of the ominous Sopranos-esque meeting [...]
Ups and Downs of Super Bowl 43
February 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment
Wow. What a great game that ended up being…. as you all probably know by now, the Pittsburgh Steelers emerged victorious, 27-23 in a total thriller. Here’s my +’s and -’s of Super Bowl 43:

Madden and Michaels. Consistently entertaining and enlightening. Madden has probably slipped a few notches in the last year, [...]

Super Bowl Predictions
February 1st, 2009 · No Comments
Tomorrow is one of my favourite days of the year, the Super Bowl. It’s a showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals, with Pittsburgh a 6.5 point favourite.
Personally, I will be happy with either team winning. Arizona are the unlikely, scrappy team that no-one thought would make an impact on the playoffs, and [...]
NFL Playoff Picks Round 3
January 19th, 2009 · No Comments
After an abysmal 1-3 last week, I was tempted to just pick the opposite of who I think will win the Conference Finals - but I get the feeling that kind of reverse jinx will just be re-reversed by the weirdness that has overtaken this entire season.
So, my picks are:
EAGLES over Cardinals
STEELERS over Ravens
NFL Playoff Picks

Hey there. Happy New Year! I’ll be posting a New Year Resolutions post later today, but wanted to quickly post my picks for the NFL Playoffs before I sit down to tune in. I’ve followed this season more closely than any since we lived in USA/Canada for a year, and it’s definitely been a roller [...]
