MGoPodcast 6.14: WORLD SPORT AHOY
Bit of a format change for us in this dead period.
THE WATER POLO EMIRATES CUP
Shockingly won by Al Jazira over the heavily favored Al Nasr. What does this mean for the future of UAE water polo? Can former Partizan goaltender Nikola Radojicic forge the national team into a regional power?
DHONI QUITS TEST CRICKET
India's captain retires, citing strain. A tribute to a true legend of the game, a guy who played it the right way. Can Virat Kohli hope to replace Dhoni? We doubt it. Kohli's a bit of a wobble. Can't even keep his crumpets straight.
SIX NATIONS RUGBY A MESMERIZER
Ireland victorious as they come a clatter against the All Blacks. O'Neill tossed a real poofer in the final, wingeing the Scots a-dango. How will the Hottentots respond? Will the escape pod to Alpha Ceti be complete in time for the Eight Provinces Preliminaries? Will the Raja of Tambucktoo execute his back twelve for their diverse and sundry chest hair violations? Rug-a-roo and me too!
MUSIC
"Across 110th Street"
"Float On," Modest Mouse
National anthem of UAE

It's been more than 4 hours.
Do you think I should call a doctor?

Water Polo! A friend of mine is a starter on the US Olympic team. USA!

It's about time that we got some quality coverage of the seamy underbelly of Middle Eastern water polo around here.
December 30th, 2014 at 6:50 PM ^
I was wondering when this blog would ever acknowledge Middle Eastern Water Polo.

and still no water polo talk.
Maybe there was an error?
December 30th, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
Mullen was plan B? Hackett had everything figured out in this search. No one had any idea about him as the backup plan. I'm so happy we got Harbaugh, but wow. Hackett is king.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:25 PM ^
Dave Brandon. Why were you the way that you were? You dick.

Sir,
Rugby does not deserve this coarse treatment. Please revise your coverage to substitute Ultimate or beer pong in lieu of same.
Yours very truly,

HARBAUGH!!!!
Sorry, someone had to.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:07 PM ^
Double.
Guilty.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:15 PM ^
You better believe we'll be using 3,000 tight ends with the roster we have AND Chris Clark coming aboard.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:18 PM ^
4 Fucks in one podcast.
About fucking time!

I write for purposes of correcting an error in the recipe for Candied Grouse Meringue as published in last quarter's issue of The Jaundiced Oarsman. For ideal crusting, the appropriate ratio of ankle flakes to angry monkey nerve sauce should be 4 (not 6) rack units per morgen, as congealment should then occur at the traditional 64 (rather than 58) furman foot joules.
Your kind attention is appreciated.

Fuck Lochdogg! lmao.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:38 PM ^
But seriously, Fuck LochDogg

Today has just been one long day of this:
We are truly getting the band back together. Hail to Harbaugh and Hail to the Victors.
December 30th, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^
As will every sporting event I follow...
December 30th, 2014 at 8:57 PM ^
On the off chance you're reading these comments and haven't listened to the podcast... make sure you go to about 43 minutes.

Hey, HAR-BAW. It happened. It's happening.

Rape noodle! Never forget.

"Back 12?" That will severely underpower the pack . . .

"An athletic department that looks like it knows what THE FUCK ITS DOING"
God bless you two.

Come on MGoBlog, get it together.
Six Nations rugby doesn't start until January.
December 30th, 2014 at 10:32 PM ^
December 30th, 2014 at 11:23 PM ^
Seriously, well played.
December 31st, 2014 at 12:15 AM ^
I can't wait for the front-pag Dave Brandon obit.
I wonder what that guy is doing watching Jim Hackett crush everything. Probably yelling at a teenage waiter and sending his meal back to the kitchen at his local Applebee's.
December 31st, 2014 at 12:40 AM ^
Any chance he has an established relationship with Damien Harris?

"Why did I hire you?"
Well, Brian, considering you were just in a conversation about common sense in hiring. . .
December 31st, 2014 at 11:06 AM ^
Wow.. I would have never imagined Indian cricket to be covered here. Imagine my surprise to see Dhoni's face on the frontpage. I love this blog.
December 31st, 2014 at 12:56 PM ^
Dhoni is a great ODI and T20 captain. But his game management in away tests were horrible to say the least. Even in this series instead of going for a win in the third test, he ensured a draw thus handing over the series win to Australia!
December 31st, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^

I'm pretty upset the podcast completely ignored the sporting world of the Central Asian Steppe. Appeal to your demographics, Brian.
