Sports Roundup + TV Times # 2 with Blades
20 Aug 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
How anyone can watch soap operas is beyond me. They’re unrealistic and they drag on forever. Marlena on Days of our Lives, for example, spent her life dead, in a coma, kidnapped or possessed by the devil. That’s no way to live! And besides, who needs a soap opera when you have real-life, exciting drama […]

14 Aug 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 56 Comments
One thing Mossel Bay should never have done, is beat Heidelberg – especially when the fans were armed with knives, broken bottles, chairs and pipes.

Victory, we all know, is sweet at the best of times. Victory against the Wallabies, on the other hand, is similar to three courses of dessert followed by…you guessed it, dessert. Perhaps the only thing better than beating the Aussies at rugby is beating them at cricket, and after two wins against the All Blacks, […]

THE ESPY AWARDS, NELSON MANDELA VIBE
31 Jul 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
I’ve received quite a few emails and sms’s and calls about this ESPY Awards vibe that was on TV a couple weeks back. People were really “touched” by their Nelson Mandela “tribute.” For the uninformed, the ESPY Awards is an annual sports awards event created and broadcast by American cable television network ESPN.

09 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I attended the much anticipated Cape Town 10’s launch at The Grand, in Camps Bay on Thursday evening last week. It was everything I had dreamed of, and more.

HARD COMMENTARY
27 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Whilst Matthew Pearce and Kobus Wiese (with his incredibly strained voice and abysmal English) have succeeded in sidelining Hugh Bladen and have taken South African commentating to another level altogether. Exactly what level that is, is a discussion for another day. But, nonetheless, the subject of sports commentary is fresh in the air. There is […]

I received a call from Dave after the Springboks drilled England 6-42 on Saturday (congas to Barndog and the boys).

SPRINGBOK EMBLEM GENIUS

This is quite brilliant.
