The season previews are starting to roll out, spring practice is out of the way, media days are in progress and, despite the season still a couple of months away there are plenty of great games to look forward to – and maybe book some tickets for.
Fox Sports has become an easy and understandable target for many sports fans, especially recently. And now ESPN are beginning to leave many fans scratching their heads.
This week saw the release of the Ashley Madison account data, a dating site for married individuals looking for an affair. This has resulted in a few strained marriages around town.
Every season we go through the talk of the NRL draw not being fair, as fans of one team battling for a spot in the eight feel aggrieved that another team had an easier run.
Breeding is part of the industry. Owners are doing exactly what you and I would do. Trapeze Artist is getting 90k, The Autumn Sun 70k, risk free, little chance of injury. Trapeze Artist will need to serve just 18 mares to match the winners prize money for the TJ Smith.
Redoutes Choice added more to the local racing industry in his first 2 years in the barn then anything he would have done had he raced on
It’s not the breeders that have stopped breeding the stayers, its the buyers who stopped buying them. I’d rather see a race with the field like this years TJ Smith and last years Everest then watch Count Chivas plodding along beating Skybeau and Joss Sticks in an Adelaide Cup. You have to remember that breeders aren’t just breeding for the Australian industry, but are exported to Asia and South Africa, that is what their buyers want too. New Zealand haven’t gone backwards by breeding sprinters, they have done so because they sell horse to Asia at the first possible oppurtunity
Who will be racing's next champion?
Sunlight won’t do anything more. Won a low-rating Coolmore, beating a couple of non-winners, won a handicap on the limit in another G1 and beat Spright and ellizacoom in another. Well beaten in the TJ and Manikato

I don’t think our author had heard of former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson.
Tough questions are lacking in the racing industry
relevant to my comment how?
NRL expansion: The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised
A wildly misinformed article. Antitrust laws alone kill your premise, not to mention Title IX. You’ll have to pay members of the football team the same as members of the mens basketball team, and the same as the womens ten pin bowling team
Why it's time to pay college athletes
It’s not an expansion. Brisbane is an exhausted market
NRL expansion: The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised
Look at the 17 listed for teams this week. There simply isn’t 2 players per club of standard to give up. Super League players are in the Super League because they are not NRL standard
They don’t want to prop up clubs, they have seen the ponzi scheme the AFL are running in western Sydney and the Gold Coast. How much do you think a Fijian team will cost? And what income will they bring in?

There are not enough players for 16 teams, let alone any more

Where are these players then? They aren’t playing NRL or NSW Cup or Qld Cup

Longchamp for me.
Flemington isn’t great
US tracks are generally garbage. Santa Anita is the same standard as Gosford
The world's six greatest race courses
I think Murray only goes 1 if Arizona can get the right trade for Rosen. If they don’t I expect OAK to trade up, they have 3 1st rounders they can use as collateral
The first 5 will probably be Murray, Haskins, Bosa, Williams and Allen. It just depends which order. There will be trades to move up. Gray , Sweat and Oliver will definitely go top 10. Denver will waste their pick taking a tall QB

“How can one side be punished so harshly while another isn’t”
Easy, the extent of the crime

And now the Giants are making Gruden look like a genius in comparison
Touching down the New England Patriots way
Gruden lets Mack go, says he isn’t worth the $23.5 million. Signs a WR, who is 3 years older then Mack, for $19 million a season.

Do you know what contracts are? Awards? Collective Bargaining Agreements?
Conditions in one role, industry or organization are. It the same as the next
When sport attacks civil liberties: The NRL’s no-fault stand down
What has gone unmentioned is that Greenburg is the deciding factor on what is a suspension and what is not. He doesn’t have the greatest track record in this regard. Remember he decided to take no action against Ben Barba a few years ago, after apparently looking at all the evidence. Apparently bruises aren’t evidence. That hasn’t turned out well.
Then he decided to give a character reference to a player facing court. He doesn’t see the hypocrisy in this? Did doing this mean that players thought they had a green light? If Greenburg won’t punish Inglis, but actively try and prevent him being held accountable, will he take it easy on them?
Players who are found guilty in court need to have severe punishments handed to them by the league. But useless administrators need to be held accountable too

What has he done to bring the game into disrepute? An allegation is simply an allegation.
Let the courts decide
When sport attacks civil liberties: The NRL’s no-fault stand down
It’s been done to death, but there are actually two debates – should the NRL suspend him and could they suspend him.
The latter needs to be answered first, and the hearing that was supposed to begin today (NRL are useless so it didn’t) and the one the RLPA are preparing (NRL in breach of CBA) will determine that. After those legalities have been sorted then the matter of if he should can be sorted.
The NRL should have renegotiated the CBA in the last couple of weeks, and public opinion would force the RLPA go along. Once ratified then suspend the players. Beattie cracked too easy under the media pressure

Why wasn’t his case heard today?
Classic Greenburg/Beattie NRL. Incompentant fools

What about existing sponsorships?
St George Bank have no right to, he has not been found in breach of his contract in way. Whether he does or not is irrelevant to his circumstances today

“Court documents also show de Belin stands to lose sponsorship deals, Blues selection chances from the ARLC and NRL’s “unconscionable conduct” which amounts to an unlawful restraint of trade.”
The money the NRL makes from its behaviour crackdown will easily finance the lawsuits
Yeh, you really don’t understand the subject at all, do you? It has zero to do with wrongful accusations or wrongful arrests, or the fact they are still getting paid

No. Teams live up to their means. Give them more money and they’ll spend more money
The greatest NRL home ground advantage is in the spreadsheets
