They still play rugby (union) better in the south. Lung busting? Just a bit.

The guy that broke the Melky Cabrera PED suspension a month before it happened has a rather important new revelation.

Since he says it comes from the same source, it suddenly has everyone's interest...

That Union video is ridiculous.

Uh, Marc Staal, you may want to consider wearing a visor

That Union video is ridiculous.

Nonsense, I saw half a dozen penalties there that should have been awarded and followed by a 40 metre kick for 3 points.

Meanwhile, the amazing life of a Test cricketer you've never heard of.

Thanks for that, owlhouse. A quality read!

I discovered recently that the grandfather of a good friend of mine was once a Wisden cricketer of the year. Perhaps, without wishing to be unkind, the least impressive one ever, in fact.

Yes, please! Us Canes fans want you in perfect shape when you eventually join your brothers in Raleigh.

I'd pay good money to have a two cocktail head start and then show that video sans sound to the characters at NFL Network and ask them to provide an off the cuff running commentary.

If only because - if that WSJ article is to be believed - the Union video contains about 25% of the in-play action of your average three-hour NFL game.

In four minutes.
