1. Nearly fell over when I read that Jana Pittman has had a sperm donor to produce her second child while she studies to be a doctor and make her comeback on the track after her second marriage bust up and third knee reconstruction. Probably a delightful lady, but she would not be the sort of stable doctor most would visit.
2. Thrilled midweek to be privy to a pitch report from Adelaide Oval centre wicket by the great GJ Dalton. If he's not courtside with Rafa or on the America's Cup yacht in the San Francisco Bay, he's at the Adelaide Oval chatting to Boof Lehamnn after breakfast. John the Bookie has a rival.
3. How pathetic are soccer players...really? The Western Sydney Wanderers need some player leadership as they call the "Windies Wracket" and plan to protest about pay and withdraw from their inevitably failed trip to Morroco for the World Club Challenge. If they beat up anything there - except their own reputations - it will be a miracle. If you can't beat Perth Glory...Barcelona, Man City..? We would be akin to playing the Soloman Islands.
4. Has anyone seen this Jack Hale from Tassie? A sprinter doing amazing times for a 18 year old. We may have someone who can be a star on a drug free world stage.
5. You've gotta laugh when you see Gallen, Watts, Mason et al in the ring. Good fitness yes, but bad for their reputations and bad for the game of rugby league. Could the game do without both of them? Maybe the NFL might be a good career.
I went to the NRL recently and had Dave Smith speak with us at length. He showed us stats (they like their data at the NRL) on the Todd Carney water bubbler ballyhoo, palarva, shennanighans, high jinks, tomfoolery, ratbaggery, buffoonery, skylarking, hoohar, caper - and the 'Rise for Alex' stats for female viewers and female reaction to the game. Carney was instantly sacked..and so will others as well. Hence the big Gallen fine. The game can't afford to keep them!
6. Worried about Shane Watson when he starts talking about 'demons' post Phil Hughes. Hopefully he can hold it together because he had plenty of those demons before Phil Hughes' passing and we can ill afford more. He may be closer to retirement than a few of us might think.
7. What about the rain on the weekend? Not good for car racing at Homebush. Whincup won the cup.
