The Final Word: Rob and Nick talking sport ..
Jan 23, 2023
Rob’s staying true to his New Year's intentions: Bike-riding, alcohol abstinence, and early morning gym sessions—it all sounds too much for me. But, hey, good luck to him. I might wait until 2024. Listen for more!
Enjoying the listen? If you feel like it, I’d love if you’d share this post with your friends! Or, if you received it from a friend, please forward to another.
We also talk cricket: Geelong CC and an upcoming International U-19 series with England, where Geelong player Liam Blackford will feature for Australia. Modewarre Cricket Club surfaces again, thanks to Rob. A fleeting visit to BBL12—it’s difficult to keep him engaged here—some talk on the impending retirement of Dan Christian. I nearly prefaced that with "journeyman," which would have been grossly unfair. BTW, there’s an article in the works on "DC" Also Steve Smith belting bowlers everywhere.
I remained insistent on some NFL chat—divisional playoff action. I think we’re on the Kansas City Chiefs?
And, it wouldn’t be a Monday morning without some woke chat. And didn’t Rob fire up when I tabled the demise of New Zealand’s PM, Jacinda Ardern—he skipped the news and launched both barrels? I’m still trying to find a common-sense definition for "woke."
