The Gurgler’s Sporting weekly return now that Footy of either code is all over, and with a new name to attempt to cover the fact that it is exactly the same as the previous incarnation.
Each week or whenever we can be bothered we’ll go through the week that was and is of sport. Doffing our cap at the achievement whilst wheeling out the bricks for the shite. Plus our super multi with many legs, a big pay day and a chance of winning that goes in the opposite direction. Plus the Ticket to Ride bet, attempting to get 5 bets of $2.00+ in a row. Sounds easy? Not for us.
Plus Dr Sportz answers the many questions that have been thrown his way.
Australia’s greatest day of sloth
Praise the sporting gods for the Bathurst 1000, one of the great annual excuses for crashing in the lounge with sport on the TV all day without feeling guilty or needing to do anything at all. Kudos to Fox Sports for the excellent all day coverage. Kudos to Craig Lowndes and Steven Richards for winning the race, if you’re going to have another driver ruin all your bets, why not have your hopes dashed by Mr Nice Guy.
Would love to see a 5 lap mini F1 race and would settle for just a televised lap on the day of the race. Or perhaps we could solve the Uber v Cabs debate once and for all with a race featuring 50 cars from each side and the winner at the end get all of the taxi business.
The Rugby World Cup
Apparently the Rugby World Cup has reached the knockout stage meaning just three more rounds of fixtures and a Wallaby disappointment await. And probably a few more hundred injuries. What about the Australia – Wales game with nothing but penalty goals, talk about giving the fans what they want. Maybe they could spice up the game with golden try games when two decent sides meet.
Quick Questions
Is the Presidents Cup the Winter Olympics of Golf?
Is anyone watching the Matador Cup One Day Domestic Cup?
