honestly - the only thing that will stop us is not having a legit back up big man for bogut

kickert is good but doesnt rebound or play d

jordan hunter is 19

they needed to sign tom jervis or someone of that ilk to back him up

Yeah they don't really have anybody for bogut.

They have 3 MVPs int he team, if they're going to do it it has to be this year. No Bogut next year.

Can't wait to see Didi play, he went well in pre-season games.

he signed for 3 years and will probably extend a few more

he is only 34

Can you blame me? Haha.

But no, I just went with what I’ll actually be able to go to/participate in. I can’t watch the EPL without Optus anyway, I’ve only been watching highlight packages.

I should of put basketball as well as I go to a few Kings games here and there. And I’m a Bulls fan, but the state they’re in isn’t really worth watching at the moment hahaha.

ah so it was, he will defs play on though

he wants to play olympics and earn his shares

the stock rises with him in the squad

Hopefully, he is a part owner so would make sense

I follow the NFL (Patriots)
Will watch some other sport here and there (especially internationals) but don't really follow any particularly closely

I like the nfl but never got into it.

Patriots are a contender year arent they?

Not sure what word is missing but they are a contender every year and this year.

Our O-line (the guys who protect the QB) has been smashed by injury this year (hopefully get one guy back soon) and also had Gronk retire last year who was an absolute beast of a human, arguably the greatest ever player in his position.
Add to that the QB is old AF

But they are 5-0 currently for the season.

There were a couple summers in a row back when I was at uni I had Monday mornings free so I started watching a lot of NFL back then. Can't watch much now but still watch highlights for pretty much every Patriots game.
Follow Patriots because god knows how long ago, even before the above, my dad was in the US and bought me a jersey and the guy at the shop told him Tom Brady was the best player so that's the one he bought.
