I was going to revisit an old post about how I dislike people who say “if there’s global warming, then why am I so cold?” I literally just heard this on TV from a rugby league commentator. Sadly, I could not find the post, so instead I will talk about how I think rugby league is the most boring sport ever.

We went to an aussie rules football match last Sunday, and it is exciting! It’s quick, skilled, and brutal. If I have any athletic ability, I would try to play it. I don’t know why it hasn’t been spread more. So I have aussie rules football as my top Australian winter sport. Second place is rugby union. Australia won’t be playing in the Tri-Nations while I am here, so it won’t get that crazy, but I would like to catch the All Blacks vs Springboks match next weekend. Lastly, we have rugby league. Boring as sin. It lacks both the physical contest for the ball in rugby union and the speed in aussie rules football. Luckily an AFL game will be on soon, so it’ll be time to change the channel.

Update 06/28/08: I also watched some indoor bocce on TV and that was more exciting than rugby league.
