Football....
And yes I love football, I love the Premiership, but a few times recently when I've said this, the first comment I've had from people isn't concerning the football... it's concerning the money involved and the money paid to the players.
So I'm just musing on why it's such an issue when so many other people get paid utterly ridiculous amounts of money for what they do without censure.
Would you not watch a brilliant film because you object to the amount of money your favourite actor was paid to star in it?
Would you take your money out of a bank because of the fat cats lining their pockets?
Would F1 fans complain about the amount of money spent developing the cars... let alone what the drivers get paid?
Would you refuse to listen to your favourite band because the netted millions on their last tour?
Anyway you get the idea....
Its still the beautiful game, so why shouldn't they get paid every penny they can get, while they can get it, when they have to have the talent to get to that level in the first place and careers can be cut short so easily.
And yes I do understand the offside rule before anyone asks.....

All Blacks remain rugby's hottest ticket
Jamie Roberts, the 93-Test Wales centre and former Lion, said the All Blacks sellout reflected the pulling power of the international game's No 1 side.
"When the All Blacks come to town it's one of the greatest challenges in rugby ... probably the greatest challenge," Roberts said in a WRU media release.
"They are ruthless for 80 minutes, and the skill set of all their players is pretty special. You know you are in for the toughest game of your career. It's unlike anything you have experienced before and, mentally, it's the most challenging."

My Opinion Of Yesterday's (Sat) Games
#3 Alabama Tide vs #20 Wisconsin Badgers and
#6 Auburn Tigers vs (N/R) Louisville Cardinals
#3 Alabama's game win over #20 Wisconsin, of 35 to 17, was more of a triumphal game contest than the #6 Auburn game win over the "non ranked" Louisville, of 31 to 21....! I mean, come on people!
There was an 18 point spread between the Tide & Badgers!
There was a 7 point spread between the Tigers & Cardinals!
Alabama played against a "ranked" team, and Auburn played against a "non ranked" team, wow, Auburn had a really tough competition... (yea right)... Auburn should of had a larger spread with their "non ranked" opponent... Right? So, with the spread of only 7 points, what is the big "hoopla" with that? The fact that they "won" against a "non ranked" team? Same "celebratory hoopla" when Auburn plays against the "Girl Scouts"? Would there be a single point spread there too? I imagine so... But this scenario is used to get my point across.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Auburn won their game, and they were expected to win by double digits, but that turned out to be a single digit... which indicated that their opponent was better at the game than expected. If the game was that close (7 points), should Auburn even be ranked at #6, shouldn't they be lower in the ranks, or maybe Louisville be moved up the list?
Just saying, this is my opinion, and with 75?, I could probably get a cup of coffee.

NFL is back and I am watching
I have been watching NFL football since I was 6 or 7 years old. Every Sunday I looked forward to watching my home town team the Detroit Lions with my Mom and Dad. My Mom who was born in England also was a fan of the Lions and sometimes she would scream louder than my Dad at the TV screen.
I have fond memories of watching the Lions for 60 plus years and I am not going to let some 2 or 3 hundred protesting players ruin the game I love.
My opinion of the players is two fold. It is their first amendment right to protest anything they want. It is also my right to voice my opinion of them and my opinion of them is I consider the protesting players to be over paid America trashing wealthy ungrateful ingrates who I call 'A$$holes'
People can boycott all they want, but I consider it their loss. I refuse to turn off the game that I love all because of a few hundred 'A$$holes'.
That's my take on the NFL National Anthem protests.
Looking round in a puzzled way ...
ONLY THE BEST GAME IN THE WHOLE RUGBY WORLD CUP.
I love the Boks, but hell the All Blacks are on good form at the moment. I don't think we can do it but I really, really hope we are extremely hard to beat
See you later. Or not, depending on how it goes. Hugs to all my rugby-watching saffer chums.
