Nothing like a natural disaster to bring the fuckwits out.
Fox Host Jesse Watters: L.A. is hosting the Olympics in four years. There is no way we can showcase L.A. to the world. A full federal takeover is needed. Invoke the Stafford act. Martial law might have to be declared.

Only a complete moron could think this. And as it turns out …
Fox Host Jesse Watters: If I were a citizen of another country and a neighbor of the United States, I would consider it a privilege to be taken over by the United States of America.

New Year’s honours in NZ have now officially become a joke. There is absolutely no standard and they give them out to sports people like Weet-Bix cards. Lydia richly deserves hers. A brilliant achiever, person and ambassador. Others, er, notsomuch.

The story NBA writers fear to write in case they upset LeBron. But it's true. And I'm a Lakers fan.
Could the Los Angeles Lakers guard and LeBron James' son, Bronny James, be considered one of the worst NBA players in history? 🤔 Find out why the things don't look good so far:

That is not what he said at all. Stop being such clickbait w***ers.
Head coach Scott Robertson will ask New Zealand Rugby bosses to make overseas-based players eligible for the All Blacks in a bid to keep up with pacesetters South Africa.

Little wonder people have little faith in World Rugby. Their so-called men's XV of the year includes at 10 a fellow who by the second half of the season wasn't even a first-choice of his own coach. Bizarre.

Gillespie cut loose, Tacko called up to @NZBreakers was always gonna happen, especially if you have a feel for how Matt Walsh operates. Here’s yarn from last month:

Breakers moving on from Freddie G to make room for, likely, Tacko Fall. Been in the works since Tacko joined the club to rehab. Be interesting to see how Tacko and PJC play together.
Breakers import Freddie Gillespie is expected to join Italian club Olimpia Milano during the FIBA Break. What does this mean for the Breakers? (via Alessandro Luigi Maggi) #NBL25

Great yarn this on the next true game-changing NBA star. Worth getting across his story which is a good 'un and brilliantly told here by ESPN's @Baxter

"Put that in the book" Love it. Rieko Ioane leads the haka, then gives the Irish another sendoff.

@stephenjones9 Terrible news, Stephen. A true gentleman and outstanding writer, fabulous tourist and the kindest of people. Condolences to all so saddened by this loss, and especially his family. One of the greats of our trade, the Baler.

@OllieRitchie1 So long as no1 is talking about England’s actual rugby that’s the main thing. And who is Oliver Brown? When has anyone in the ABs said that about the haka? They have repeatedly said opp teams and fans can react how they want. They don’t do it for them.

Great point from Justin here. This is a guy who played 37 games in the NBA over 3 seasons, averaging 2pts. He's essentially famous for being tall. To charge for a meet and greet like he's LBJ is absurd. Another sign this club is losing sight of what's important.
Sorry @NZBreakers … have to be blunt here - this is a poor look - fans should NOT be charged extra $$$ to meet a player you are billing as one of your own. You have dressed & promoted Tacko Fall as a Breakers player the last few weeks - have him meet EVERY fan at no cost. 👎

Someone show this to Sky’s crew. Some good guide points here…
Richie Benaud's Rules of commentary should be pasted in every commentary box. It's Benaud's birth anniversary today.
