Re: Temporary Television

I'm fairly certain Broadchurch was a one-season run last year, and yes it was amazing. Visually beautiful, incredibly acted, and the story was intense and paid off perfectly. The American version is supposedly beat for beat from the british at least up to episode 7, and the cast in it looks good eno...

Re: Swamp Fantasy Hockey 2014-2015

Scrivens might be a starter but he's playing for the Oilers! That team could take a hundred first round draft picks and still not get a good team. funny thing is that i had scrivens queued up to take with my last pick and had $5 left to do it. turned my head to watch the unusually long simpsons ope...

well that escalated quickly.

68-21 Hawthorn, still 10 minutes to half time.

Re: Other Sports

Swans guy goes for a mark, Hawks guy tackles him, lands on his shoulder. Swans guy gets up and cold cocks him right in the chest. Everyone's totally cool with it.

Love it.

Swans with the first goal, nice kick on the run from outside the 50.

Re: 2014 Ryder Cup

5-3 Europe after day 1. Seemed like the rate of medium and long putts being made was ridiculously high today. More or less a fairly un-hateable US team this year, but I'll still be cheering for the euros, if only because of their awesome scottish flag style shirts. https://s.yimg.com/sr/imgv1/1/372d...

Only thing i don't like about Aussie Rules is the constant, never-ending whistles, and the fact that games that are actually close and go right down to the wire are too infrequent.
