If you go on to news.com.au (where most the writers on that website are girls) they bitch on and on about something, like the way girls do, like how they would be like, over nothing at a place ,like a bar The Commonwealth games is the right platform for these girls to bitch on and on about

The Commonwealth is not all bad though, thanks to the english they invented stuff like Sports and entertainment, the Americans popularised it As all that stuff's only been around for the last 100 years :-k Which beckons the question, what was around before then? :-k Although Henry David Thoreau (the American Transcendentalist) he came wrote the poem of living life without purpose, but doing what one believes in (I am the Parcel of Vain Strivings Tied)

The Commonwealth Games - AKA the games only Australians care about because it's the only time they're significant on the international scene.

They are talking about the events that have just finished instead of actually showing them.

Not sure if you heard but Michael Shelley from the gold coast won the marathon yesterday. Pretty sure it was a Kenyan who finished second. So yes, it was a great achievement. Sadly, we've never won a medal at the olympics in the men's marathon though. The Athletics is still fairly strong due to the presence of the Caribbean and African nations.

Apart from that. Its very meh. Hard to get excited about swimming when we go 1, 2 and 3 in some events.
At times, its too easy. The Athletics should provide more even competition.

I actually don't mind Phil, during the SOo he gets a little crazy but otherwise I like his commentating, plus he likes the broncos as a club so I don't mind him commentating their games.
I have a competition every Origin time to pick the time when Gus will say, "Oh this is fantastic, can we come back tomorrow and do this again." or even, "That is an origin moment right there." Knowledge of the game is good, but recycled commentary isn't. Heineken wrote:No football tournement, but they've got Lawn Bowls.
Don' t get me wrong, I love playing lawn bowls on Sunday arvo, sinking a few beers on the green...
But there should be a football competition like in the Olympics. Use the U/23s. Cricket would be more justified in the comm games. Although im sure the English would be happy to have a competition where they can have a chance to win a comp. T20 should be in with a shout for sure. Cricket would have been at Gold Coast 2018 but the ICC declined
