Sometimes more can be too much when it comes to sports coverage

Foxtel's coverage of the AFL and NRL is first class, now we can watch international games live and in high definition. The thought of this, even 10-15 years ago, would have been unthinkable. And the commentary is, generally, of a high standard. That said, I really cannot see or understand the logic or rationale behind the recently adopted practice of interviewing players coming off the field during the half-time break.

When the so-called psychic arrived around 1:40 p.m., she told the victim to give her jewelry so that she could cleanse the items of evil spirits, promising to return the goods a week later, police said.

Susan Evans We toured here two years ago, but settled on Thalia Gardens instead because we couldn't decide between a nicer and large 1 bedroom with everything we need (w/d, dw) or a 2BD/2BA apartment. Now th … at our lease is almost up and we've decided we definitely need the 2BD/2BA, we wanted to tour again to refresh our memory. Our experience was NOT a good one. We did not receive a friendly greeting from the leasing consultant (not once did she mention her name so I couldn't even tell you which one she was other than she had brown hair, brown eyes, and was pregnant). ...
