A Sad Time Of Year...

It's the time of year when, despite being excited by the prospect of an epic NRL Grand Final on Sunday, I start to realise that footy season is nigh on over. And when the Spring Carnival racing is over, all I have to look forward to is a summer of captaincy blunders from Ponting that will go largely unnoticed because it's only the Windies and Paki's touring and we're thrashing them regardless....sigh...and Channel 7 no doubt botching another summer of tennis by trying to cover four tournaments at once in a horrible collage of a set of chicks hit 'n' giggle here, and a set from some Aussie hopeful getting pumped there, to a gripping golden oldies final, and finally the last few games of the deciding set in the men's Brisbane International final....sigh...delayed Oz Open telecasts into Brisbane...Chappelli telling us all about Ponting never running out of ideas against a suckful Windies outfit, and about what a c-word S. Waugh was.....sigh.......

So expect the annual Spring Carnival hysteria on WHAB people!

ASSCLOWN OF THE WEEK

"Despite results suggesting otherwise, Ponting is a superior captain to his predecessor, Steve Waugh. Ponting never runs out of ideas in the field, whereas Waugh, even with a more experienced and varied attack, often lacked inspiration.” – Ian Chappell said that Ponting's captaincy should not come under pressure.

What exactly did S. Waugh do to I. Chappell? Ran over his dog? Boned Mrs Chappell? I'd really love to know...

Could he seriously believe that Ponting is a better captain than Waugh?! Or does he just hate him so god damn much?
