All Blacks try to sweep away dickheads but sport needs its egomaniacs | Barney Ronay | Sport | The Guardian

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. In fact, quite the opposite. Enoka is clearly very good at whatever it is he’s doing. It is simply that the broader picture suggests he may have got this slightly back to front, and in practice attempting to eradicate dickheadedness seems not just fruitless but self-defeating. Let’s face it, a no dickheads policy, properly implemented, would pretty much destroy professional sport altogether, not to mention robbing us of some of the most glorious teams and individual athletes in history.

This is not to denigrate sports people personally. Away from the trials of trying to win they are, of course, just a bunch of people like anyone else. But in competition mode these are not everyday human beings. To excel at such reductive, mechanical tasks – hitting a ball, running in a circle – while maintaining the degree of fearless, blinkered, all‑consuming competitive display though which sport becomes a kind of art form … Well, we’re going to need bold, finely engineered human beings. And not just that. We’re going to need dickheads, too. The finest, most psychically magnificent, brilliantly hard-nosed dickheads mankind can produce.

Seeing family members on commercials during hockey telecasts. Got a brother-in-law on the Rogers Hometown Hockey commercial and a brother-in-law and sister on the Port Metro Vancouver commercial.

/And no, that's not Lucien Deblois wearing the vintage Jets jersey (lol)

That definitely sounds better than seeing them on the teaser for the next episode of Cops.

Is it wrong for me to kind of hope something goes horribly wrong?

dude is tweeting and it was taped so sadly he survives :(

/although this could be some sort of elaborate social media ruse by ABC execs to make people think he survived :thumb:
