I was negative the other day about various sports. To add some Yang to the Yin, here are the five greatest sports to watch:
DARTS
Absolutely mental from start to finish, every single time. Perfection
FOOTBALL
Pampered, petulant baby millionaires? Sure, but it is beautiful.
WEIGHTLIFTING
Honestly. Watch a session of Olympic weightlifting. The drama in every lift is human heartbreak and glory at its most raw.
CRICKET
Gotta hand it to the English: inventing a game that lasts for five days and still regularly finish as a draw is a ballsy move. I like their style.
SNOOKER
I like all the colours and the spheres. Technically more boring than a day out in Dunfermline, but somehow draws you right in.
So that’s the positive to the negative and the balance has been restored to the Dr Paul Universe.
Speaking of positivity, I hope Team Pepeja can repair their relationships with each other after another loss at the Safari Lounge last night. This once-great behemoth of Tuesday nights are now just another team with THREE losses in the last three weeks.
Pepeeja superfans are burning up the internet with rumours running wild that the team is on the brink of a split and Mal’s threatening to keep the name and not let anyone else use it. You can follow the full story in the Daily Express and Daily Mail’s Twitter feed..
