I may or may not have a folder with a few shirtless pics of former rugby star (and current anti-homophobia-in-sports advocate) Ben Cohen.

According to this obviously authoritative link, it is “Struh-THAIRN.” The author heard him say it on an audiobook he read.

Fixed. For a game that stops for tea breaks, who knew anyone even enough what the score was, to fix anything??

But in all seriousness, wouldn’t it have been nice if all the cheating, doping baseball players had said something like this? Lance Armstrong? ANYONE? “I know right from wrong. I am not stupid. I made a choice. No one is to blame for my stupid choice but me.”

I have so much respect for this guy. Not so much for cricket, but… you know, baby steps. I like rugby, isn’t that enough???
