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

Why would anything ever good happen

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.

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

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

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.
