Yes we would be dead... really they would be close to folding if he fucks up again, sponsors would leave, and without sponsors no money... would be disastrous

Good enough for me LOL, I'm a Richmond fan if you couldn't guess

I'm sure all the Australians on the board are aware of this weeks big footy news. On thursday night, former West Coast Eagles champion Ben Cousins will make his debut for the Richmond Football Club against The Collingwood Magpies this thursday night at the Telstra Dome. For those Australians who live under a rock and for others, Ben Cousins is a disgraced footballer, who at his peak captained The West Coast Eagles, won the coveted Brownlow Medal award for best and fairest player in the league for the season and also won a grand final during this time. During the 2007 season cousins was suspeneded indefinately by the Eagles, he returned that year in round 17 to pick up a best on ground 38 disposals against Sydney. He continued to play up until the Eagles were eliminated from that years finals series after a loss to Port Adelaide in which Cousins tore his hamstring muscle. After a few mishaps and what turned to out to be media bungles, Ben Cousins was released from the Eagles. Although he never failed a drug test or has ever been convicted of drug charges, Cousins admitted he was a drug addict. The AFL terminated his playing contract and suspeneded him for a year for bringing the game into disripute. Cousins would then go to L.A. to a drug rehab clinic, but he didn't make it apparently going on a final binge. Throughout the year, Cousins would be linked to many clubs such as St.Kilda, Collingwood and Brisbane, with the Saints and Lions showing the most geniuine interest. Towards the end of the 2008 season Cousins was greenlighted for a return to football but would be under the magnifying glass, in response to this Cousins shaved his body completely of hair to avoid hair testing. Many saw this as him writing his on death certificate while others played it off as Ben being Ben and causing a stir. Despite being greenlighted St.Kilda soon dropped out of the race and it appeared that Brisbane would be the only club left to pick up the fallen champion. The National Draft went and Brisbane announced they would not pick up the former Brownlow Medalist. It appeared that Cousins hopes of being drafted were all but gone with only 6 teams keeping picks for the pre-season draft. However the story was not over yet, during the week before the PSD it was announced that Richmond were conteplating drafting Cousins, if they were allowed to put Graeme Polak on the rookie list after he suffered a head injury after being hit by a tram. AFL head Andrew Dimetriou was in favour of the listing, but the AFL met and it was decided that Polak would not be allowed to be rookie listed. Cousins hopes were again seemingly dashed, but the night before the draft an army of Tigers supporters marched down to Punt Road letting the club know that they wanted to give the fallen hero another chance. Pick 6 of the PSD was announced as ... Ben Cousins, he was now a member of the Richmond Football Club. Since then Cousins has done nothing but impress the Richmond faithful by training down the house and impressing in their intra-club game. Richmond coach Terry Wallace has confirmed the disgraced footballer will play on Thursday night and will start on the ground in what is expected to be the biggest NAB cup game in recent history.

Is the 2006 NYR Edge pic posterized or something? Because in that pic, it looks like Edge is ready to SHOOP DA WOOP. Which one? the one on the left? it all has a pixel overlay but the left pic seems to catch the brunt of it what does shoop da woop mean

Any hints... that is like one of the scene it questions that makes you watch a scene then asks you who was in the original or who the director was

Pah, I always liked Martina Hingis. Not so much cos of how she looked facially but her body was alright and she's my age and was around during the time of big muscular women while she played fast and subtle tennis. I started following her when she was ranked 140th in the world. God bless the Swiss Miss. Yeh i was a big fan of Martina as well, had the cute face but fit body. When i was about 10 i had a huge crush on Claudia Schiffer, she was still pretty fit last time I saw here as well. Ohhhh and Billie Piper, back when she was the singer... now i get to see her as a 'escort' on TV woooo
