WORD Day, a thread

Obviously a bit going on in the world in regards to health, but today is WORD Day – World Young Rheumatic Diseases Day.

It’s a topic close to my heart but the aim is to help raise awareness about the early diagnoses of rheumatic diseases in young people.

Lucas Herbert is advertising local Australian businesses on his clothing while he plays a string of events back home starting this week at the NSW Open. I asked him yesterday why, and he said:

“Just seeing local business getting destroyed over here makes me sad. One of my good friends took his own life in January because he was a small business owner and couldnt take the pressures of working 60 hours a week to keep the lights on any longer. I thought it would be better than coming home wearing blank hats and clothes.”

So far, he’s had a local lawn care provider, an electrical company and a mental health charity among many others. Check out the full list on Lucas’s Instagram page and the PGA Tour of Australasia social pages.

This is class from Lucas. He’s currently T8 at the NSW Open after rounds of 68, 67 and 73.

This is how Mitchell Starc swung the ball in Ashes 2017-2018. Looks like Australians were tampering the ball much before the 2018 Sandpapergate.

All Australian victories in last 10 years need to be scrutinised closely and overturned if need be.

@fingerj86 @SEN_Football @TheRealBozza My impression is this competition as it is no now will be like a Champions League and the idea is to give a footing for a club to become sustainable at a higher level, then give it a better chance of making that next step.

"To invoke Hillsborough in an argument about the dangers posed by football crowds, without acknowledging those findings, risks perpetuating the very misconceptions that the families fought so long to overturn."

@sportslawyer7 “A knot of 20 cops standing behind a supporter bay is officer presence”

No it’s not. At a sporting event it is signal to a crowd you’re guilty before you sneeze. What event did attend with 20 cops behind your seats offer a feeling of calm and enjoyment? 🫪

Did Carrick just tell Cunha to get off the pitch after the game?

Where I was in the ground last night was where the Sydney FC away section is - so I've been there a few times before.

The sight of the coppers dancing with Samoan and Tongan fans, of punters being able to mix freely and to let an atmosphere develop positively was notably different, to say the least.

There is an obvious risk factor at soccer that doesn't exist in rugby league, but having experienced that many times first hand in Europe, the reaction in NSW is massively over the top.

If you throw police at a situation - especially riot police, who don't put their helmets on planning dance with fans - you get tension.

WSW are right to ask why they get one version of NSW Police when RL fans get another.

The guy who kept Shaq and Charles Barkley in line on TV for 37 years used to spend his mornings shaving and dressing his son, who could barely move and breathed through a ventilator. Then he'd go to work and laugh with those guys all night like nothing was going on.

Tonight Ernie Johnson said this season will be his last, and Barkley tried to thank him on air and couldn't get the words out.

I don't think most people watching that clip know what Ernie was carrying all those years.

He and his wife Cheryl adopted Michael from an orphanage outside Bucharest in 1991, when he was 3. He had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and doctors didn't think he'd make it to his 20s. He lived to 33. When Ernie was home, getting Michael ready in the morning could take an hour and a half, and Ernie did the showering and shaving and dressing himself.

In 2006 he told viewers he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and by the end of October he was back at the desk while he was still going through chemo.

When Michael died in 2021, Ernie wasn't on the show that week, and Shaq, Kenny and Chuck spent about six minutes trying to hold it together while they talked about a kid most of America never met.

Then last year he had heart bypass surgery, and this summer he turned 70.

Ernie's dad pitched in the big leagues and then called Braves games for decades, and he gave his son a rule Ernie's talked about forever: if somebody spikes you at second base, never rub.

If you've ever wondered why nobody's been able to copy Inside, that rule is a big part of it. Barkley could say the dumbest thing imaginable, Shaq could fall out of his chair, Kenny could go running to the big board, and Ernie would just pick it up and bring it back to basketball with that yellow legal pad. Those three got to be chaos because the guy in the middle never made his own stuff the show.

He still calls hosting a "get-to job," and he was calling it that the same year he buried his son.

So when Charles Barkley, who's roasted pretty much everybody alive on live TV, can't finish a sentence to the man, that's why.

Nice to know in the age of physicality and needing things now, 2 of the last 3 Ballon d’Or winners got dropped from a youth academy and as men can barely break 32km/h sprinting.
