MAY 2018 NOMINATIONS
CRICKET AUSTRALIA
Fresh after signing a deal to finally take Cricket off Channel Nein,which earned a Hero of the Month nomination, they have reclassified as Jerk in May 2018.
Why? Well, fresh after signing a massive TV deal that Cricket in Australia really didn’t deserve, they have canned the northern Australian Test Series because it was going to be too expensive, despite signing with Fox Sports/Seven for $1.2bn.
You cheap arse Jerks.
And don’t you even think about signing Michael Slater.
CAMPBELL NEWMAN
The mightily unpopular, one-term former Queensland Premier has barely been seen or heard of since his demise after the most unlikely of election losses in Australian Political history. But when he does, it is usually rubbish. As so this week proved.
After a tragic accident, Campbell Newman complained about the police response causing traffic chaos, showing all the lack of emotion that made him more hated than Paul Gallen.
A silver lining is he is no longer Premier. But why not give him a vote for those days as well, as it was before the Jerk of the Month started.
DELTA GOODREM
A return to Jerk of the Month for Goodrem, who has been nominated for being on two FTA channels at once.
Australians have an in built Goodrem tolerance level, which unfortunately was blown off the charts when she featured in two FTA prime time shows at the same time.
Another reason to praise Foxtel.
MATT CECCHIN
Nominated by a reader of The Gurgler, and why not, given how much the NRL referees seem to be hell bent in ruining most games of rugby league this year. So maybe he is nominated on behalf of all refs.
It is mostly because the reader was a Storm fan, and Cecchin was the lead referee of the well known Storm No Try against the Dragons. But the play was called back because pocket referee Chris Butler had tried to draw his attention to an infringement in the ruck. Whilst not fully Cecchin’s fault, he should have stamped his authority and told the pocket ref to bugger off.
TODD GREENBERG
The Head of the NRL is becoming a bigger Jerk every day.
Rugby League isn’t going that well, but he is the reason why everyone is up in arms. Mostly because of being completely ignorant of most things people want. Now the people can vote on him.
MEGHAN MARKLE’S DAD
And to the other family members who tried yo mke it all about them.
As if it wasn’t bad enough to have 24 hour coverage on most channels about the Royal Wedding, then we have to put up with a bunch of Jerks from the bride’s family trying to steal the limelight.
They have stolen a Jerk of the Month nomination.
WAYNE BENNETT
Maybe a little harsh, but nominated for his reaction to the Broncos allegedly chasing Craig Bellamy as head coach of the Broncos.
Should he get more respect for a career of 800 games, probably. But it’s not as if he hasn’t seen off a bunch of assistants over the years, or taken job away from incumbent Dragons / Knights coaches when he felt like a change.
JOSE MOURINHO
For being the biggest jerk in sports management/coaching.
Not content with boring most to death with his awful style of football, he had the audacity to complain about Chelsea playing too negative to win the FA Cup last weekend. Pot-Kettle after the season of dross he’s been in charge of.
Luckily we saw what was coming in the FA Cup Final and didn’t even bother.
