Summary
Malo and welcome to Episode 78 of Breakfast Bites by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika peoples sports on this beautiful bright and sunny Friday morning 16 September 2022 – coming to you from paradise on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
In rugby – Ooh “Dairy Farmer Fozzy” and “No Show Cane” survived – just, to fight another day thanks to some fancy pancy French champagne refereeing last night in Melbourne.
With the Wallabies desperately hanging on to a 3 point lead just 5M from their try line with 90secs left, French ref Mathieu Raynal made an incredible decision – reversing a free kick because Bernard Foley was milking the clock taking too long to kick the ball into touch, from which the All Blacks scored a try after the hooter to win 39-37.
In rugby league – Justin Hodges blasted the Referee’s decision to stop their fight at the Nissan Arena last night as “bulls***” after Paul Gallen survived a knockdown and came fighting back against the former Maroons star. Gallen also a former NRL and State of Origin star verbally agreed to a rematch.
In US sports – the NFL once again dominates the ranks of the world’s most valuable sports teams with the Dallas Cowboys No. 1 with a US$8Billion valuation, the New England Patriots are in second spot at US$6.4B and the Los Angeles Rams following at US$6.2B.
Get this – sports franchises from the big apple – New York, dominates the ranks of the world’s most valuable sports teams. MLB team, the New York Yankees are 4th and the NFL New York Giants in 5th place on the list, are both valued at US$6Billion each, plus the NBA New York Knicks are valued at $5.8B and the New York Rangers are the most valuable NHL team at US$2B.
In tennis – one of the greatest players to have ever stepped onto a tennis court, Swiss star Roger Federer has announced his retirement as injuries finally take their toll.
“I am 41 years old. I have played more than 1500 matches over 24 years. Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt, and now I must recognise when it is time to end my competitive career.” Smart man.
Federer confirmed the Laver Cup next week in London would be his final event on the ATP Tour.
In basketball – NBA legend, icon and greatest of all time, Michael Jordan is just about to launch the fifth release of his Cincoro Tequila called Cincoro Gold.
Wanna shot? So the 750-milliliter bottle costs US$350 and will be available in October.
Er . . . I think I’ll just stick to my Kava.
