Well not to be a stickler on this, but aren't the Suns three years off from being 50? :o

I've worn a Celtics hoodie once, and have a Wolves hoodie, since I live here now. Now having those, in my mind doesn't hinder my love for the Suns. If you never chose that other team over the Suns, I don't see anything wrong with having a jersey because you like a logo.


OK. Fair. 47 years. I intended to mean "in my life"

I don't know if I would have considered it HORRIBLE to wear another team's gear, I am not like that. It just would have seemed weird. I don't wear team gear much, so when I do, its on purpose.


I wouldn't wear another team's gear. I do own some other jerseys as collector's items, but have never worn them.

This was probably the best match of any sport I've ever seen. Hats off to Brisbane they played defense well enough to win on any day.

Bloody lucky NRL supporters don't have to put up with the BS dominance of the Hawks. Sounds like yesterday's granny was a fraction of what tonight's was.

This is a random question, but where is the best site to get tickets for games? I don't know where else to ask.

Hopefully visiting the US next year and was looking to get some NBA action. All of the sites I've looked at seem to have some drawback though. Stubhub adds a load of fees, seatgeek doesn't 'deliver' the tickets until a few days before the game, and I've heard bad things about ticketmaster. Are these the ones I'm stuck with or is there a better alternative?

Most of them have fees, its a pain in the ass. The past few times I've flown to PHX for games, I've usually just picked up tickets pregame from a scalper outside. As long as the suns are average, you should be able to get resale tickets pretty cheap.

That game was incredible. See Daley basically called it before the game!? Nuts.

Thurston's an immortal, has to be.

That kick missed by a rat's pube, could have EASILY bounced in and ended it.

Now Bennett's spouting on about it - Hodges won the toss and chose which way to go, case closed. I get the dislike of it though, would make more sense to play like football and just play til there's a winner, not first to score.

As an Eagles fan, we didnt deserve to win anyway.

We played like a bunch of scared 15 year olds. No effort, no intensity. Hawks were pure pure class and too good on the day.

Josh Kennedy going scoreless? Choker of the ultimate means. To be fair though our forward entries were appalling. Cant wait to get EMac back next season as another tall, and also drop Josh Hill to the WAFL. Dude is pure rubbish.

Malcolm Turnbull (Aussie PM) tipped Cowboys by 1 point about 5 days before.

Illuminati stuff man crazy.

Insane though. Not a follower of the NRL by any means, but watching that last play was just crazy.

Would anyone be interested in doing a competition like this one on the Houston/Dallas/SA forums for our board?

Imagine if they only grew to like 5'7-6'4. They'd most likely be working at a comic shop or Gamestop.

RIP Jonah Lomu.

Can't believe he's passed away. Even if you're not a rugby fan you probably heard of him cos he was such an absolute freak of nature physically.

I'm in London and it led the news over here even with all the atrocities happening around the world right now.

If you like sport, you can appreciate the sheer dominance this guy displayed in his prime:

Lomu was a time before I started following NRL and the Wallabies in international tests. Quite a shame to hear of his. Must be incredibly hard news for his family and the All Blacks so soon after their RWC win.

No, as long as it's one of these.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that today would have been Adam's fifth birthday. I really appreciate all the kind words, thoughts, and prayers many of you sent his, and my family's way.

Remember to hold your kids tight.

Happy birthday Adam, I think about you everyday, I love you and miss you.
