Laurie Oakes did have worthwhile things to say and Patrick Cook was occasionally funny but I found most of it just dull. The piece on Peter Garrett last year was PR for a guy who proved useless and then worse. It just never made the transition to a 21 century publication, visually literate yet still serious and with a global focus. The Bulletin was top heavy with the same old hacks.

He is looking forward to coming out and eating like a pig to make up the weight he will lose during his lay up. Don't expect to see him on the field until late in the second round.

Laurie Oakes will have no trouble finding another home. I have to say that I hope another publication picks up Tim Blairs extremely funny column.

And it would include 2 or 3 pages from Newsweek, passing it off as if it was the real deal. It became silly and irrelevant, and people stopped buying it.
