    Simply, that jersey looked quite good with jeans,

    Only in Hamilton Richard.

    Ha! Tucked in? With boat shoes or white cross trainers?

    Good question Jo, I had to look it up.

    According to Wictionary:
    Strip is derived from Stripe (or Strippe) so it could possibly come from the team's stripes of colour.

    Also re: Daily Show and Colbert Report

    If it is Sky TV's doing, then a great big steaming bag of expletives will be left on Sky's doorstep.

    Furthermore, this motorway network will exist and be in use for hundreds of years. Surely the specifications of such a major piece of infrastructure should not be determined by the wishes of households whose average stay is measured in years.

    My brain, she explodes with teh stupid

  • Field Theory: Must be some guy that Lester,

    A set of attempted pushover tries from 5 metres out etc..

    Or golden point period where only a try counts (ie no poxy drop-goals) and 1 man is removed from each team every 7mins.

    Kyle's right about pre-season games. the MLB play in Japan, NHL play in Scandinavia.

    Why do Man U play warm-up games in Asia every season?

    Why wouldn't Man U ever play a cup final in Asia? It's one thing to play exhibition or pre-season matches in another market, but not the final.

    By staging games elsewhere you generate interest in that country and they’re more likely to watch not only the dislocated match, but other games too.

    I don't think it follows. I'm fairly sure that TV viewership of the previous NFL matches played in the UK for the last two years hasn't grown.

    Besides it's a very American thing. It'd be like NZ and Australia playing a Bledisloe Cup match overseas...

    Or a 20/20 cricket tournament in America...

    Or trying to start a professional football tournament in the US...

    Sport will translate to the countries that like it. European basketball is pretty big (they even try to steal NBA players now) but the NBA didn't have to play games in Europe for that to happen.

    Video of the shoot-out

    "I don't know how long we've been doing this but I've been carrying around a penalty shootout card in my jacket, and here it is"

    Most of the teams would spend 3 or 4 of those weeks sitting on their butts having been knocked out.

    Not at all. Because like the Champions League (and the Heineken Cup) you run it simultaneously with other tournaments.

    So run the Air NZ Cup with a Ranfurly Shield knockout tournament (by the way I don't want to change the way the shield is won, this is just an example).
