They can still come back!

[not tyson]

Oh get absolutely fucked, yeah yeah my fault, I just turned on 7mate thinking the game started at 19:30, like it fucking should.

That fucking score, would have been a great game to watch.

Oh well, league it is.

FFS.

[hellboy]

Glad that Port lost - this week would have been intolerable should they have made it to the Grand Final.

Cowboys got fucking robbed

[not tyson]

Yeah, 3 years in a row now, that after game interview with Johnathan Thurston was hilarious.

"Look mate, I don't want to get myself into trouble"

He was fucking fuming

Topor-Stanley has finally been called up to the Socceroos. He's no Ognenovski (sp), but given the chance he's more than capable of being as such.

I've just seen him fall apart more than a few times for me to give him my full support. Ex-Jet, though, so he gets all my love, if nothing else.

Good on ya, man - I'm happy for you.

I get A League starting in literally thirty minutes through the usual channels that I was forced to use in Korea. But with the occasional glimmer of hope through based bet365.com. There's a slight chance of a HD stream on the website soon, but it's not looking good.

Hella awesome.

Peace out Landon. You should have stayed motivated and avoided your "sabbatical" from football. Bad move dude, bad move

I'm actually watching a competitive union match between Australia and New Zealand

[not tyson]

Why would anything ever good happen

[not tyson]

Thank you channel nine for airing the Matador cup, in HD even.

Nothing better to relax with a few beers on a warm sunday afternoon with some domestic cricket.

[hellboy]

After a tournament that felt about 6 months long, the World Cup Cricket is finally over, and the AFL season can commence!

[Pimple]

Pretty poor from West Coast, bummed a few good opportunities that could have seen them get back in early... I hate Hawthorn....

[hellboy]

I'm guessing tonight's game is getting pretty good ratings. What's the score?

[bonebroke]

Djokovic vs. Federer in about 14 hours.
45th time they have faced off against each other
Currently 22-22 all time

Thank goodness!

Aussie Open was great with Federer/Nadal, Williams/WIlliams in the finals.
NBA '15-'16 Cleveland overcame 3-1 deficit (GSW blew'd it)
MLB '16 Chicago Cubs overcame 3-1 deficit (Cleveland blew'd it, although not quite as epic-ally as GSW)
NFL '16 NE overcomes 25 pt second half deficit (Altana blew'd it)

Big comebacks in baseball aren't as tough as they are in other sports. (Not that they're easy)

I read that at first as "Big comebacks in baseball aren't as tough as they are in sports."

Agreed.

@ Bonebroke - I don't remember that Warriors / Cavs series...

[bonebroke]

yeah, must have just been a really bad nightmare I had
it starts off well enough. I'm jogging down the court, I got a basketball jones, I attempt a layup.
And then all of a sudden this Big Bully comes from out of nowhere and swats the ball away

LeBron James: THE best basketball player on the planet.
