Comm Box Olympic Scribbles

Here's a sprightly duo of English tv sport commentators. On the basis that you should never describe what the viewers see, but how they could see it, they're top of their game. Albeit whilst heeding that [one of the all-time greats] Richie Benaud creed, they eschew

Mouldability

Widely denounced after release of three million files surrounding one utterly disgraced, super-connected American 'financier'. Journalists pore over such staggering source volume for a

Lower League Breakout Mindset

Daniel Farke is the newly promoted manager of a team trying to buck a tough trend. Namely avoiding immediate return to the division below via the EPL trapdoor. The portents aren't great. He attempted similar before. Twice. And got the sack. Yet this year, there's a
