Premier Player is especially dreadful this season – even trying to watch live it keeps skipping back, now it's showing me an advert in *Spanish* multiple times? The incentive to pay to watch the URC legitimately is not strong...

Not comfortable with Star Baker being someone who Paul asked if he'd dropped his showstopper 😂 But GONEAROONI 🥳🥳🥳 #GBBO

Definitely the funniest sports scandal today is our director of rugby appointing himself club sommelier instead so he doesn't ever have to talk to Craig Doyle, and honestly, mood 😂

So there was the time, in quite a busy (and loud) pub, that I explained about induced ovulation in cats by describing, at a volume loud enough to be audible to everyone at my table (and some at others), the feline penis thus: “imagine a dildo wrapped in barbed wire”.

Yes it is fundamentally unfair in singling out football (and so is the regulator!) but having been to Twickenham and the Millennium to games with a more, erm, casual audience, I suggest football fans be careful what they wish for...

Since I was a junior contrarian, I refused to read them, andd everything I learn seems to vindicate that stubborness.

The big takeaway from a batter’s helmet-cam of a 90mph delivery is “how on earth does anyone ever hit those?”

Do Americans actually like sport? They seem to feel there must always be something else going on to keep you engaged. Most fans just want the game to restart. We’re capable of enjoying the break.
