Poachers vs. Hunters – Let’s Get the Terminology Correct
One of my biggest pet peeves about how media portray hunting is the way law-abiding hunters and fishermen seem to constantly get lumped in with the criminals, due to poor terminology. How many times have you seen the term “illegal hunting” used to describe a story about someone who was caught poaching? I’ve seen it […]

The World No.22's announcement surprised his teammates. By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Wednesday, December 28, 2022
Nick Kyrgios is a last-second injury withdrawal at the United Cup.
The Aussie broke the news on Thursday, just ahead of Day 1 of the 18-team competition, which kicks off the 2022 tennis season across Perth, Sydney and Brisbane.

22nd-ranked Kyrgios, who was set to lead Australia as its top-ranked player, was scheduled to face off with Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie on Thursday evening in Sydney. He will be replaced by Alex de Minaur in Group D action, while World No.107 Jason Kubler slips into the No.2 spot.
The news came as a bit of a surprise to Kyrgios’ Aussie teammates.
“We literally just found out 10 minutes ago. Obviously it’s news to all of us and we just move forward now,” Australian co-captain Sam Stosur told reporters.
Kyrgios has reportedly been dealing with an ankle injury which was sustained during an exhibition in Dubai last week.
Young Hunter Smokes Big 10-Pointer, Understandably Freaks Out
There are many older hunters who have spent decades in the deer woods hoping for the chance at a big buck and with nothing to show for it. And then there are the youngsters who go out there and show the older folks how things are done. That’s the case with today’s video from Goochie […]

Tsitsipas Jabs Kyrgios on Withdrawal
Nick Kyrgios' late withdrawal from United Cup is par for the course suggests Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Frenemies Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas gave us a wild Wimbledon showdown complete with body blows and trash talk.
Looks like this rivalry won't be simmering down soon.

Wimbledon finalist Kyrgios stunned his teammates withdrawing from the inaugural United Cup the day before he was schedule to play for Team Australia in Sydney. Kyrgios was slated to potentially face both Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal and British No. 1 Cameron Norrie in round-robin play of the mixed team event.
Instead, Kyrgios pulled out. Davis Cup stalwart Alex de Minaur is slated to play men's singles for Australia in the mixed-team event.
"We literally just found out 10 minutes ago," Samantha Stosur, who co-captains Team Australia with Lleyton Hewitt, told the Australian media of Kyrgios' departure in comments published by AAP.
Kyrgios' sudden withdrawal did not surprise sparring partner Tsitsipas, who offered blunt response when asked his reaction at a United Cup press conference.
“It is not a surprise, I hope he enjoys his holidays,” Tsitsipas told the media.

The fourth-ranked Greek said Kyrgios' antics are a distraction.
“I don’t know where all of [Kyrgios'] energy comes from,” Tsitsipas told the Australian media. “There is so much of it, I don’t know how he does it.
“You cannot concentrate on your own game, there is so much noise coming from the other side of the net. It’s distracting, you have to be at your best to overcome it all.”
The mercurial Kyrgios, who returned to Australia after playing a Middle East exhibition, incurred Tsitsipas' wrath at Wimbledon with persistent chatter and discussions with officials.
Kyrgios rode his massive serve and major mind games to topple fourth-seeded Tsitsipas 6-7(2), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(7) in a wild, crazy and contentious clash at Wimbledon last summer.
Both men were hit with code violations as Court No. 1 felt like the octagon at times. Tsitsipas summed up this tennis tempest of sound and flurry as "a circus."
The match saw Kyrgios deploy the underarm tweener serve, some superb drop shots and near constant chatter that unnerved Tsitsipas. The Greek, who belted a ball into the stands and splattered another shot off the back wall, spent a few games trying to tag Kyrgios and eventually accomplished his mission drilling the Aussie in the chest.
