  • Stewart,

    A word in defence of the Master of Surreal Commentary - Mr Murray Mexted. Not sure why, but I really enjoy Murray's weird ramblings - he adds an element of surreality that cuts through the Cliche-thon that is any other commentary.

    I understand that this is a minority opinion.

  • Kyle Matthews,

    Yeah, starting from the Ducks (goons).

    Oh, did they defeat your team again Giovanni? Man, sorry about that.

    (Though, I'd happily flick Perros from the Ducks, a policy of carrying a player that is basically there to fight... not what I consider sport. Replace him with a player that is there to, y'know, score goals.)

    I think Murray Mexted's purpose (apart form keeping an eye on the cheerleaders and alerting us to their costume changes) is to be the everyman, consistently misinterpreting what is going on so Tony Johnston can come in and correct things.

    He makes us feel better for not understanding what's going on.

    "Apart from", not "apart form"!

  • Hadyn Green,

    With irrational hatred comes irrational glee

    I think the reason people 'hate' the Pats is because they're so clinical

    I think the Bostonians have a saying: "How do you like them apples?" Though to be fair I was incredibly tense through the whole thing.

    Holden Racing Team - sometimes just wish the whole damn company would drop off the face of the Earth, THIS is a good week.

    I second that :) C'mon Frostttttyyyyyy!

    Yeah. I'll give you that one. The irony is intense. If Favre hadn't signed with the Pats and Brady had still gotten injured, Favre probably woulda been the first person they'd called.
    TBH I doubt Brady will play for the Pats again.

    Note: Irony is used incorrectly in that sentence.

  • st ephen,

    Excuse me - didn't Hadyn ask for irrational hatreds? Seems like people have no trouble offering up perfectly valid reasons for their hatreds.

    But Rachel, I too have got over my hatred of Wayne Smith, even though I had to move to ChCh shortly after that shield game. The worst part was Keith Quinn's commentary - describing as "brilliant" a move that simply involved catching the ball and running in a straight diagonal to the try line. Of course, hating Quinn is a given, and Smith is the only likeable AB coach of the past decade.
    But I hope you're saying that you're a fan of Smith and have grudging respect for the team - because if there's one thing I can never forgive, it's people who move to Canterbury and become converts to the local teams. But that's a rational hatred on my part.

  • Peter Darlington,

    I support Canterbury and Chelsea (Sorry Richard). I acknowledge that I am anathema to most sports fans.

    Nah, that just makes you a glory hunter :-) Oh wait, you were born in Sloane Square, that's ok then, they're your local team.
