OLYMPICS Cont.

Another day another rant, it seems to me that no matter where you look at the Olympics there seems to be some rubbish going on, someone getting ripped off.

Yesterday I announced a "Tool of the week", being as though the Olympics are only for a few weeks ive stepped it up. There has also been a name change due to legal threats from channel 10's Before The Game. Dave Hughes is a....... more on that another time.
The award will now be daily for the period of the Olympics and known as the "Barstool." As most of my mates know the Barstool has been an award ive given out for sometime now, it goes to the person/s id most like to hit at a bar with a stool. It has been reserved for AFL talent previously. Past Winners include Chris Tarrant, Jeff Farmer the multiple winner and of course Nathan Buckley.


BARSTOOL OF THE DAY!


Todays award is a multi effort. I watched a boxing stoush today between Cherif Walid of Tunisia and Stephen Sutherland of Australia.
Now I may not know a lot about boxing but I knew how this was going to go down before they even entered the ring. After 4 rounds of evenly contested boxing, (something the commentators themselves menioned more than once)the final score was 14:2 you guessed it in favour of the Tunisian champion. Whats funny is that with 10 seconds to go in the bout it was 12:0. Nice effort at a square up by the judges, worse than the AFL umpires im afraid. In 4 rounds supposedly the Aussie never landed a punch? I bet if you watch it yourself and score the bout just like you would watching Jeff Fenech Fight Night on a Friday youd score it a little more closely.

So todays deserved winners of the Barstool are the judges from that bout.

James Mcnally USA
Pierre Chiasson Canada
Siarhei Parshyn Belarus
Jiabo Wang China
Juan Ponce Cuba

Congratulations Clowns! Keep scoring fights based on reputation, favourtism and racist biased. You are all a joke and so is your sport!


AUSSIE CHOKERS

Warwick Draper Qualified in 2nd for the final but had a shocker in the last run to finish 5th.
Gut Wrenching yes, but nothing a tablespoon of concrete wont fix.

Okay so im going to get bagged over this and probably deservedly so, but im just putting it out there.
Why does it appear that every Aussie who has half a chance of doing something decent in the Olympics chokes and settles for having been there? Dont get me wrong im a lazy couch potato and my respect is earnt by every single person representing this proud country of ours, Im just saying that it feels like a few more could take a tablespoon of concrete, listen to the song True Blue before competing and harden the fuck up. Come on Aussies were a country of just 21 million which equates to 1 60th of what China have to choose from, we stick it up lots of bigger countries already but lets stick it up them that little bit farther.
