  • Field Theory: 25 Things you need to be a…,

    But I don't get the 'man' thing - surely everyone should be able to do these things?

    and

    the idea of man as a leader, able to give directions and take charge if needed

    Aw, that's so sweet.

    Makes me think I need to repeat this para:

    "Man", as I read it in the list, is now a concept not a sex. Men were hunter/gatherer/semen-factories and then evolved into farmers/truck-owners and for some reason you needed a penis to be that (I blame religion again). The list though seems to define man (or manly) as protector/provider but removing any gender bias (like strength or speed or hair growth).

    When did Joe Rocks take over that nickname?

    When sports writers got lazy. I thought Joe R was "the rocket"

    But Smokin' Joe was Joe Frasier

    Turns out the guy who bothered Federer is one of those professional arsehole sports ruiners

    although I can't pick Jerry's. An old Norths pair?

    Not Toulon. Not Ospreys. Looks too light for Norths. Not even Barnstaple

  • Field Theory: Black and White Stripes,

    Women's tennis? Were any New Zealanders involved? Sharapova? Kournikova? A Williams sister? Anyone deemed by the powers that be to be attractive? No? Give it 10 seconds then.

    Probably exactly what was said in the editing booth

    That would be the same TV1 bulletin that led with the massively underwhelming SBW non-story.

    And the same bulletin that had nothing on the fact that Australia had qualified for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, or any of the other qualification news.

    Yeah pretty poor all round. "SBW was awesome! We don't have any footage or stats to back it up, but trust us, he totally was!"

  • Not Guilty,

    Has anyone made a "search for the real killers" joke yet?

    Wulf was my reason for wondering as to Masaga's whereabouts. I'm still sitting on the fence about Rokocoko.

    I understand Adam Thompson may get the nod at 7 ahead of Latimer, which would be a good call in my book, I've been amazed watching his workrate in an inferior side. Imagine how good he could be as an All Black!

    Like when he was an All Black? :)

    I found Thomson to be quite variable in his performance (though I should really dig up some data to back that claim up)

  • Field Theory: Kicking the underdog,

    I understand basketball isn't your favourite flavour

    Me? I like basketball well enough, but Friday I was drinking and basketball vs drinking is like the Chiefs vs the Bulls (too soon?)

  • Field Theory: Quick hit,

    So that means you'll be coming along to yell those southerners back to where they came from?
