The Sydney Kings saw salvation in a desperate game four of the ABC Learning Centres' NBL Championships played out at Sydney Olympic Parks' State Sport Centre Sunday night. Favourites West Sydney Razorbacks looked set to seal their claim of the 5 game series with a home game but failed to clinch the deal. Or so says the gloss of the basketball competition.

An alliance with Ticketmaster7 and the Entertainment Centre mention having "finalized plans to maximise ticket sales if Game 5 is required." Rambling on with "ifs" and words of varying possibility, the site moves a clear hope toward playing out the final game in the larger capacity venue.

Touch Me Judge, I Want Some Juice

Officials of the Australian Soccer Association have still yet to reap any sort of publicity windfall from any sort rape scandal to rise through the ranks of the other football codes. As they waited they decided to play up news on the game itself. Best as they felt they could offer was the whimpering of announcing an 8 team competition. Consolidation and merging of the fans of the shrinking spectacle most likely spawned from watching too many gardening shows and tv shows.

Running along the sidelines duelling over with leathered feet, the Rugby League showed the ASA how things were done. Not resting on their rape scandal laurels, the NRL showered in the yellow tinted falling drops of water following a spate of weekend games.

After watching their team beat the Parramatta Eels into submission with a 48-14 victory at Sydney Olympic Park, a rowdy and racially maligned section of the Bulldog Army started pack raping women left, right and centre.

Shortly after confirmation of the first round win, the men started tearing the clothes off female fans as they attempted to make their fearful exits from the stadium. Caught in the crossfire were a few freshly ripe male teens and preteens subjected to the gaol house rock of sodomy in full view of each other.

Backyard Streetball Jams and Rickety Rings

Watching the neighbours run around aimlessly as they gush pints of blood from their skulls or lie limp as they await the fresh breath of death following a regular backyard session of basketball has been far removed from the headlines. Perhaps it's due to the increase in awareness of the poor gerry rigged systems riding high atop many garages and car holds. Or it might be linked with the ever steady increase in global obesity in the Western world as the Third emaciate ever further from the realms of health.

Either way, the fine folks at LifeTime's Basketball division are getting ready to usher in a new age of backyard incidents and newsworthy deaths. Shepherds for such possibilities are their new Acrylic Fusion Backboard with Reactor Rebound system. The makeup of which is expected to have the dedicated backyarder playing to their hardest Cable Guy outfit.

Watching Campese Go Down In Public

With a mouth like his, David Campese has been making more of his post-career life by being outspoken than whatever the hell he did during his 95 test appearances. Outspoken and clinging to make a face to the younger generation, Campese is getting the royal with a few things looking to take down his head.

Along the line, somebody found the notion that Campese was "forced" to do a walk of shame. Sandwiched between two boards backed by a gambling house. The woman is supposedly carrying humble pie. Beyond the pasty it looks like ordinary quasi-meat. This may represent the gun. Food poisoning can be deadly, and with a comment on the state of UK cuisine, who knows what he was thinking with the words, "forced."

Mind Games Prepping a Fist in the Face

Dr. Richard Crowley, a sports psychologist working with athletes since 1983, is riding hard on a few coaches. One in particular is that of the Oakland Raiders. Straddling the chafing leather despite copious amounts of talcum powder, Crowley believes that the top chokers and false-starters of the sporting arena are failures in their own mind from their own mind and .

From that, an exercise in alliteration and preying on the weak minded, "Mental Mechanics." Steve Sax of the LA Dodgers was the first test case to fall subject to the sideliner notes and talks. In a recent release, Dr Crowley stated, "the Mental Mechanics coaching approach addresses the mental glitch affecting the team. Teams like the Raiders need help with the issues underling their losses, which their current staff doesn't know how to resolve. Typically, it is an unwillingness to address a collective psychic virus infecting the team."
