AFL Analysts Aren't Shy With Their Sexist Remarks
Friday, August 01, 2008
Sam Newman is a commentator for AFL’s Footy Show, a Rugby Aussie Football highlight show in Australia. He's known for his off the cuff comments, and has been in hot water before, but this one might just get him axed. The show had finished airing an interview with Tasmanian Member of Parliament, Paula Wriedt about Tasmania's bid for an AFL licence when Newman dropped this bomb on the crowd. Via SbB....
After a clip was shown of Tasmanian MP Paula Wriedt, Newman made one of his trademark off-colour jokes.
“We couldn’t get her on, could we?” Newman said after watching vision of the MP.
“Worthy of coming on, her.”
Newman was immediately admonished by Footy Show host James Brayshaw.
“Sam you cannot say that,” Brayshaw said.
“It’s a disgraceful thing to say, Sam, and don’t do it again.”
Wow.....just wow. I know sexual talk is laxed in other countries, but that couldn't have gone over well with the viewing public. Newman, who was suspended earlier in the year for similar comments, has since apologized to Ms. Wriedt. He is also claiming that this is a misunderstanding, but it definitely didn't come off that way.

Australian Rugby Match Interrupted By Four Minutes Of Porn
Monday, July 07, 2008
How about this for randomness? Prime Television in Australia was supposed to be airing a mid-afternoon highlights show when four minutes of different programming popped up during the broadcast. From Steady Burn via Way Odd....
The Prime Channel, a free broadcast station, was showing a Grass Roots Rugby show when they claim a distribution fault caused the "inappropriate material," from a pay-per-view channel to be aired on the wrong station.
According to reports, for nearly four minutes, hardcore pornography, from the film Desperate Black Wives 2, was shown on televisions across the island nation.
In a report by New Zealand's channel 3, parents said their children had seen the sex on screen, and one 12-year-old girl covered her eyes and ran out of the room saying "eww," and "gross." Another parent told reporters his 8-year-old son's innocence was lost.
Well that's special. It's not exactly Heidi is it? Actually I guess it could have been....we don't really know the star of the movie's name do we???

How Badass Are Rugby Players?

This badass....

RUGBY league prop Ben Czislowski ran around for 15 weeks without knowing an opponent's tooth was buried in his forehead. Ben Czislowski had a clash of heads with Tweed Heads forward Matt Austin during a Queensland Cup game on April 1. He had the wound stitched up but was wondering why he felt lethargic, had an eye infection and had shooting pains in his head ever since.Wow. That's just plain awesome....or gross. It's one of those.
