Instant Offence - Choc's Big Trip

Welcome to part two of James and Alex's blog about fucking sports.

Welcome to part two of James and Alex's blog about fucking sports.

Boxing:

-Choc Mundine put the very-Americanly-named Bronco McKart on his arse three times to earn the IBF Middleweight belt with a TKO. That's pretty good but here's where it gets better: Choc then told Floyd Mayweather Snr he wanted to fight his son, who is only undefeated in 43 straight professional fights; he talked "business" with 50 Cent on the way out; and then celebrated his win with his biggest fan, Charlie Murphy. Name a better trip someone had to America this year.

AFL:

-Ricky Nixon, AFL player agent and epicentre of the “St Kilda School Girl” scandal of a few years back has really raised the douche bag stakes after a massive domestic with his 27 year old fiancé on the weekend.

According to 3AW, Nixon has been charged with “intentionally causing serious injury, false imprisonment, assault with a weapon, escaping lawful custody and resisting arrest” – not exactly jaywalking, and it looks like Ricky is facing some decent jail time.

To be frank, we miss the old Ricky – the guy who preyed on AFL groupies and frolicked in his underwear in Country Comfort hotel rooms. We miss the guy who wantonly sexted and got caught in compromising positions on teenagers' iPhones. That guy was the best.

F1:

-Our boy Mark Webber just extended his contract with Red Bull for a year, a move signalling the team's intentions to lock up near misses and DNFs for another twelve months.

The Olympics:

-John Steffensen is slowly softening from his claim he was overlooked as Australia's rep in the 400m track event because of skin colour. He's says it's only part of the reason now. If he's correct about this, Athletics Australia are shameful pigs and need a shake up like all get-out. If he's just throwing the toys because someone else got chosen: run faster bro you didn't even make the automatic qualifying time.

-In other Olympics news, US Women's football goalkeeper Hope Solo says the Olympic Village is a big fat rooting barn. Think about that - the UN of super pneumatic sex is a hell of a concept.

Le Tour de France

-Just to prove we’re not always pricks, it’s time to crack out a genuine sports feel good story.

Amidst a flurry of doping allegations and general ennui, the Tour de France made an improbable comeback by demonstrating one of the greatest shows of sportsmanship ever seen.

After a bunch of randoms threw thumbtacks onto the course, overall leader Bradley Wiggins called on members of the peloton to stop racing, so those affected by the stationary could catch up to the main pack. Had he raced through, Wiggins would have had a near unassailable lead in the tour, making this act of sportsmanship even more incredible.

In another great moment for French courage and heroism, rider Pierre Rolland ignored the directive and attacked the peloton twice in an attempt to win his inaugural tour stage. He was unsuccessful.
