Boldly going where no-one else dares to tread. Nugget and Crow Boy tackle the real issues in
sport, such as: How much ice do you get with a Benny Cousins meal deal? Why should Craig
Gower wear pants? Does Mark Philippoussis’ notch-ravaged belt make him Australia’s most
successful sportsperson?

Gee, what a great idea for women's sport
| Grant Edwards and Nathan Dell
Nugget: Magnificent skill, commitment to the task and the pride of your nation resting in your hands. Stuff Euro 2008, I’m talking chicks playing soccer in only a G-banger.
Crow Boy: I’ve always said those Europeans were visionaries. And how apt – girls playing soccer. But this brilliant concept shouldn’t just be limited to a one-off; we need to embrace this model and run with it.
N: Having seen some of the vision from the recent match between Germany and Austria, there was more than one model I would be willing to embrace.
But could it be replicated here? Do we have the spirit of unabashed skin-baring fun that our European friends have been sporting since the French arrived for WWI with nothing on but a bread stick and a smile.
CB: With a growing population, including a large contingent of European settlers, surely there is ample interest in getting out own competition up and running?
Just picture the likes of Pacific Paradise taking on the might of Battery Hill in the battle for the Coastal Cans Out Cup.
N: My word, I am generating the mental picture as we speak ... impressive stuff.
More puppies than the Sippy Creek pound. Much like international soccer rules, each club would only be allowed a certain number of imports. That has nothing to do with the origins of the players, more their funbags.
CB: But I’d also like to open the door to businesses who may like to take part. Just imagine the Brazilian Hut and what they could bring to the league.
N: Well if nothing else, what you are going to see is a faster, more aerodynamic squad, as we all know the greatest footballers in the world are Brazilian.
I would like to see the gang at Subway get involved in a corporate sense, with the quality on display, sandwiches or not, there will be no lack of foot-longs in the stands.
CB: Some with only four grams of fat. We here at Nugget and Crow Boy HQ are willing to become the vehicle of what’s sure to become a national hit, and in doing so we’re happy to put ourselves on the line.
We’re calling on volunteers to join this ambitious new squad who are keen to put women’s soccer on the map … of Tassie.
N: Yet again we are prepared to give something back to the community.
I feel that if the inaugural “G league” (working title) is to be the success that we know it can be, we will need to take a leaf out of the respective books of some of the nation’s biggest sporting codes.
While a comp filled with keen-as-mustard youngsters is important, a big-name overseas marquee signing is essential. I have heard rumours that the Centrelink-sponsored Pacific Paradise Panthers are talking to Britney.
CB: That would be a coup. There were also early whispers that Hinterland Hens were interested in signing the services of Casey Donovan as goalie.
Sure, the halftime oranges would be replaced by a bain-marie of dims sims and hot chips, but what’s the chances of anyone slipping the ball past her once she’s in place?
N: I have heard of one trick that could be employed, but involves the movements of the tides and you will need an up to date copy of the Port of Brisbane shipping calendar.
With highly trained lady flesh getting about the pitch, it will only be a matter of time before the global Pay TV networks start knocking down our door for a piece of the action.
“Monday Night Mammaries” and “Box on the Box” will be two of the more popular shows tied to the league and will be dead-set ratings winners.
