Ep 095 - Tape On Your Balls, Winners In The NRL, Horse Racing Payouts And More

This is episode 95 the MugPunters.com.au podcast for Thursday 29th March 2018 and in our breaking news headlines this week: F you Cameron Bancroft. F you Steve Smith. F you leadership team. F you Australian cricket Last Sunday was like finding out Santa, the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy aren’t real all in one go and here at Mug Punters, we want answers So this week, we’re joined by a very special panel of experts to discuss ethics in sport: - Marion Jones - Lance Armstrong - Horse racing connections of such champions as Fine Cotton - Members of the Chinese women’s swim team from the 1990’s - The entire board of FIFA - Unfortunately Hansie Cronje couldn’t join us as he’s currently dead - The “Days of Our Lives” saga that is Nick Krygios continued this week after he took a potshot at Fernando Verdasco on twitter during Verdasco’s match with fellow Aussie Thanasi Kokkinakis, claiming he hoped the Aussie won and that Verdasco must be frustrated with his record against Aussies. Following the match Krygios deleted the tweet which prompted Verdasco to respond, "when you have the courage to put a tweet insulting another player you need to have the same to don’t delete it." and then blocked the Aussie, before Krygios hit back with another tweet saying, “Thanks for blocking me, I'm sure that took a lot of courage”, to which Verdasco replied “I know you are, but what am I” before Krygios responded with “takes one to know one”. Punters now keenly await Verdasco’s social media response referencing Krygios’s mum and their previous relations. - The F1 is again under fire this year after just one race with managing director for motorsports Ross Brawn agreeing that the contest lacked any overtaking. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen was even more outspoken as he suggested of the contest, that it was, “Completely worthless. I would have turned off the TV”. However despite less overtaking than you’d see on the old Pacific Highway on the Easter long weekend, F1 continued to pull in the fans and even race ace Lewis Hamilton said he was happy to see himself get beaten as even he is aware what a tool belt he is. PLUS, we crap on about: - More cricket dribble - AFL - NRL - Winx - Group One Racing - The NRL "improved" website - Commonwealth Games (not really) and plenty more!
