Why Stuff.co.nz is crap

To further the new segment of our podcast (which you'll hear soon) we bring you "why Stuff.co.nz is crap". This will be us posting (and podcasting) the terrible sports-reporting being done by "New Zealand's source for sport, rugby, cricket & league news". Feel free to send us anything you find and we'll put it up.

Today's Stuff-crapiness comes from Dom who was reading about the World Swimming Champs in Melbourne.

Champion United States swimmer Michael Phelps already has one giant hand on the gold medal after cruising through the second semi in 1min 55.13sec, more than a minute outside his own world record set last year.

My God, less than 55 seconds to swim 200 metres. Was he actually in the water when he set that record?

The Dropkicks - 2007 - Episode 06

Actually managing to post the episode to the blog before this week's round of matches? Priceless.

Noizyboy, Sideline Mike and Tall Timber Tibby make do without The Mallet and Mouth of the South this week. In the surprisingly noisy environs of the Wellington Library cafe, the lads discuss the latest round of the Super 14, the Six Nations, and the Vatican World Cup of Soccer - The Clericus Cup.
