Sport can be the most wonderful thing in the world when the only thing that matters is the action and competition on the field...but far too often these days that's not the case - getting to the bottom of 'political agendas' is an unnecessary evil.

From Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia Australia’s Jordan Mailata has come up with two huge plays to help the Philadelphia Eagles into the NFC Conference…
The ICC either needs to either scrap over rates entirely, or crack down harder in-game to more effectively enforce the laws of the game.
If Smudge was a footballer, on form, he’d be dropped to the reserves by now - but is he a protected species in Australian cricket?
Like football, cricket could introduce smart watches for the umpires for LBW decisions giving instantaneous results of ball tracking technology.
The game’s governing body seems all higgledy-piggledy about where their priorities and attention lie, with more spending on off-field activities than the sport itself.
Playing NRL games in the United States cannot just be about organising teams to take to the field in a foreign land in front of travelling supporters. Otherwise, why play there?
While joining the Hawks has been a blessing for Daniels personally, there could be a pitfall around the corner - Atlanta as a team has struggled to find its rhythm, at 4-7 for the season.

It's the NRL's night of nights, with the 2024 Dally M Medal promising to reward the game's best players for the season. Join The…
If you look at the population growth in Sydney and vacant seats there is a huge opportunity for the game to attract more crowds by lowering game day and ticket prices.
Whether it’s bringing some Hardwick genius that helped the Tigers' flag run, or even Sam Mitchell’s way of just letting the team have fun again - West Coast under McQualter needs to become competitive.
He is 31 and the body has only had 250 NRL games. He hasn’t lost his ability to influence games, and last weekend was proof of that.
To have Harley Reid and Nick Daicos as the ones who made the final, for effectively what are midfielder’s skills kind of makes a joke of the award.
Misdemeanours during the season don’t actually stop occurring because the best teams make the finals - the referees decide to put the whistle away.
Why all the smoke and mirrors and why go through the charade of retiring if that wasn’t his ultimate plan? He was off contract at Punt Road anyway.
Technology is not to blame for the human interpretation of what is being shown on the screens.
It is still as unpredictable as it ever was to find who will be taking the home the flag in 2024 - after a gripping first week of the finals.
The shocks of 2024 are not going to end just because it’s September, so let’s dive into some bold predictions for the finals series.
Finals are often seen as a pass mark, but in this year riddled with underperformance - will a top-eight spot just wallpaper over the cracks at Newcastle?
It may not have come across on the TV coverage but the weather was tricky in SF – steady enough rain to affect the throw. It has been noted Purdy tried using gloves and some simple passes looked like they slipped out (GB even made two crucial interceptions themselves), so he didn’t handle the wet as he should have. Long-term weather for the weekend has no rain, so he should…should be improved – and I agree 49ers win the NFC, but I can’t see even Mahomes and Chiefs stopping Lamar and Ravens on current form – they deserve to be SB favourites – but Pat is a big game player and an upset is not off the cards! (Plus the NFL would love the hype of the Swift-Kelce buildup for the showpiece game! ha)
Mitch Wishnowsky's 49ers stay in Super Bowl contention after epic comeback win on final drive sinks Packers
It’s quite remarkable…and disappointing…when the club’s owner runs the franchise into the ground and can’t see he’s the problem. I too hope the plans fall apart and the A’s somehow stay in Oakland, but I fear the short-term sugar-hit cash injection from the Vegas move will be too enticing for the billionaire owner – and fan support and loyalty mean nothing!
Heading for a sad ending: The pending departure of the Athletics in Oakland is a black mark for Major League Baseball
