"You speaka my language?" I asked the girl on the other end of the line...not knowing what I had just phone ordered at Domino's after their internet service was fucked once again, I thought I'd better head down and make sure I was getting something with meat, BBQ sauce and cheese on it, at the very least. "I've got just over 20 mins till season 2012 kicks off", I thought to myself as I waited for my pizza; at this stage I would have taken an ungodly Veg-o-rama just to make it back for kickoff...anyways, I open the door to my house, and with Hungry Jack's in hand, I rush inside and flick to Channel Nine, only to realise that ACA is the business...what the fuck was I thinking? Well, they have another channel, Gem I think it's called, they'll have the NRL SEASON OPENER ON ***LIVE*** for sure... David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston don't play in the NRL...What the fuck disrespect is this? FRIENDS? Are you fucking kidding me?

If anyone out there can find me a serious sporting competition who don't show their season opener live, please contact us at haveabowl@hotmail.com...
Channel Nine is an absolute disgrace and do not deserve any sort of broadcast rights to the NRL.
I've been trying to think of any other serious sports competition in the world where you can't watch opening night live....

Why Free To Air TV And Sport Don't Mix
Example #1:
After being run into the ground by this guy;
Former One HD head of programming, let's call him Clive.
One HD have totally given up on sport. Rather than ask why their ratings sucked balls, they have decided to go in a different direction. Whilst mildly interesting, I'm pretty sure Ice Road Trucking is not a sport. If they had of perhaps listened to viewers, or rather had the intelligence to provide some sort of forum for disgruntled viewers to easily share their grievances, if they had of held that anonymous someone responsible for their insulting programming accountable rather than making Clive the scapegoat, if they just had of shown any aptitude for covering sport, surely things could have been different. Sport is hard to fuck up. You just have to give the people what they want. Yes, live sport is good, but you know what, I can't watch a midday Lakers game on a Wednesday because I, like most people, go to work. And I'll be fucked if I'm going to get up at 3am the next morning to watch the replay. I'm not going to spell it out for you how it should play out, hell, I've done that enough times, but all I'll say is that I probably wouldn't be showing Recruits at prime time. Again, it's arguable as to whether Recruiting/Being Recruited could be classified as a sport...
Anyway, the final chapter of my One HD bashing concludes by simply saying that sport is hard to fuck up if you do it right. Just ask Foxsports. And yeah;
Right back at ya "Clive"...
Example #2:
Delaying the blockbuster Broncos vs Bulldogs clash by an hour for the Royal Wedding! When it's on the ABC, Channel 7 and Channel 10 as well! I don't think I'm alone in saying that I'm fucking outraged! Enough said!!!!!!!!
