Titans Bounce Back as Lions Approach Perfect Imperfection - (USA)
In 10 games against teams other than the Detroit Lions this season, the San Francisco 49ers are 2-8 and have been outscored by a combined 76 points. The 49ers crushed the Lions, 31-13. In Jacksonville’s 10 games devoid of the pleasure of facing Detroit, the Jaguars are 3-7 and have been outscored by 40 points. They routed the Lions, 38-14. The Chicago Bears have enjoyed two dates against Detroit and won by a combined total of 31 points. In their other nine games, the Bears are 4-5 and have outs

Matthew Johns, feeling trapped and out-numbered? - (USA)
Image credit: here . Matthew Johns makes the wrong apology on The Footy Show. Guess who really knows how that feels? This week Australian current affairs program, Four Corners presented a devastating program on rugby league’s problem with sexual violence against women. Among the many incidents the program had at its disposal (spoilt for choice) to use in exploring this issue was one involving a group of professional players, including ‘nice guy’ Matthew Johns executing a t

Grown Men, Supposedly - (USA)
Dear Menfolk of New Zealand, I've met a lot of you in my 32 years. I have to say that, while some of you are capable of intelligent conversation, the rest of you seem to communicate in mumbles and grunts, and even then, most of those mumbles and grunts are expended on one thing: The rather trivial pastime of thirty men running around a field chasing an oval-shaped object. Now, it's okay that you like rugby. I sometimes find it entertaining myself. But you may need a few things explained to

Technology In Football: Common Sense Must Prevail - (USA)
The fall out from Chelsea v. Barcelona on Wednesday night continues unabated today as PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor has called for the use of technology in football to assist referees. Speaking to the BBC, he said: “We are putting referee’s in too vulnerable a situation with the conspiracy theories that abound that UEFA would not want an all English final, it was an accident waiting to happen…. Until we bring in technology we are almost giving ourselves ignition points where the game could f

The NRL: No Wonder it is in Such a Mess - (USA)
Australian sport is taking quite a hammering lately, with a number of sex scandals coming to light. The National Rugby League has especially come under the spotlight recently. The group sex saga involving Australian rugby players and a New Zealand girl has made front page headlines for the past week. Many have noted a culture of disrespect for women in the NRL and other sporting bodies. Many of these sports heroes seem to think they can do what they like with women, and that sexual encounters

Taking Football Across The Ocean - (USA)
Last season the Chargers and Saints played an overseas regular season game in London. It was very well received as the stadium was sold out well in advance of the October matchup. This season the Patriots and Bucs head across the water in October. The league is considering adding a 2nd overseas game to the schedule by 2010. While some fans are opposed to seeing their team make lengthy trips and/or lose a home game because of it, I’m a huge fan of the NFL’s effort to globalize the sport. As

Manly Mascot Lives Up To His Name - (USA)
Total Pro Sports - The Manly Sea Eagles of the National Rugby League proved just how manly they really are, and they didn't even need the services of their players to do so. Demonstrating their machismo for the club, which is based on the northern beaches of Sydney, Australia, was none other than their mascot, which is appropriately an eagle. Rather than displaying high-levels of testosterone by grinding with the clubs cheerleaders, like Willy the shark , the Manly Sea Eagle showed it with h

My, How Manly You Are - (USA)
Rugby is a game with plenty of room for physical violence, and not just for the players on the field. The Manly Sea Eagle, team mascot for Manly Warringah in the Australian Rugby League decided to get in on the action when a fan tried to make his way onto the field. The security forces pounced on the errant fan, but watch the Eagle as he gets in a series of good punches as the fan lays prone on the ground. Way to live up to your team’s name!

The JCPR Twitter Index - (USA)
Warning: This post will take more than the brand promise of sixty seconds to read. A couple of weeks ago, Jonny Bentwood and I were having a chat about Twitter’s explosion into the consumer consciousness and the extent to which it seemed to have been hi-jacked by ‘celebrities’. Jonny is the guy with whom I published the controversial Social Media Index (SMI) in July 2007. And whilst my musings tend to be thematic, or big picture as I vainly dub them, Jonny is made of much sterner stuff and

What’s The Future For The NRL & Rugby League Memorabilia? - (USA)
by Byron Riley Rugby Football is one tough game. It is certainly not for the faint hearted. The only other game that comes close to it from a physical competitiveness point of view is American Football, but one of the big differences is that that Rugby players wear little if no protection. Rugby Football is peopled by big men. For most of the position, the bigger you are, the heavier you are, the better. But despite that desired size and bulk, you must also be fast on your feet and able to bob

Another Victim of P & Prohibition - (USA)
By Susan Ryder Damn the Kiwis. Any other weekend I’d have been ecstatic at the upset win over the Kangaroos in Brisbane on Saturday night, to capture the Rugby League World Cup for the first time in its 54 year history. To say that the win was unexpected would have been refuted by only the most diehard of diehard supporters, and therefore all the sweeter. But I couldn’t savour the win on Saturday due to receiving some shocking news that morning. It was the sort of news that you just can’t stop

Daily Travel Photo - Melbourne, Australia - (USA)
One of the biggest ways in which Australia and North America differ is in the sports they play. Australians are a sports hungry people, but what they play will leave most Americans with a blank stare. Over time I’ve come to understand the basics for rugby (Union and League), AFL (Aussie rules football) and cricket. My knowledge goes far enough to know what is going on during a game, but not so much as to get into a real discussion with anyone on the subject. FUN FACT: Did you know that

Irony from Labour MP's Part VII - (USA)
Our last offering from the Listener article - today, we quote from the man himself - Phil Goff: For years, women have supported Labour in much bigger numbers than men. The same pattern of more men going over to conservative parties is also found in the US. Now Labour has a male leader again this, of course, is the time to reconnect with those men. Is Goff a bloke? He laughs, unsure whether to sign up as a bloke. "I like doing a lot of blokey things. I've been a motorbike rider for most of

Baltimore Ravens 2009 NFL Predictions - (USA)
The team’s single Vince Lombardi Trophy sits underneath a large oil panting of former majority owner Art Modell in the lobby of the Ravens’ training complex. There is a spot reserved for another one, but in order for that to happen the Ravens must figure out how to overtake the Steelers, who will be looking for their seventh. With a rookie QB and a rookie head coach, the Baltimore Ravens improved from a 5-11 campaign in 2007 to an 11-5 record in 2008 and an AFC Championship appearance. The bad

Brantford Sports Teams - (USA)
By Wes Fernley It is no surprise that there are plenty of sports going on in Brantford, Ontario. As the hometown of hockey star and sports legend Wayne Gretzky, there is a strong association between sports and Brantford. It is also famed for hosting many sports tournaments every year, including the Annual Wayne Gretzky Tournament. Its local sports teams go beyond just hockey, however.

Rugby League Memorabilia Affected As Karmichael Hunt Switches Codes - (USA)
by Byron RileySport for many people is a way of life, as fans of League Rugby Football in Australia would readily testify. The memorabilia industry is massive in all sports across the world, but the Rugby League Memorabilia machinery will probably shift into overdrive this year with the much publicized transfer of Karmichael Hunt, currently of the Brisbane Broncos, to AFLs Gold Coast Football Club.This is an unprecedented move, the first time in Australian Rugby that a player has changed codes f

A New York Sports Scene With No Millionaires - (USA)
Michelle V. Agins/The New York TimesA summer stickball league in Brooklyn. Cricket, to many Americans, is a baffling sport, slow-paced and governed by incomprehensible rules. But in New York City, where the game is played in a half-dozen amateur leagues, mostly by people of Caribbean and South Asian descent, it is organized around a principle that will make sense both to aficionados and to those who can’t tell a wicket from a tickle: Fandom has its rewards.“Very often, if you go to a cricket mat
