Who Says Boxing Kills Braincells

Herrrbbbbbbbbb! Herrrbbbbbbbbb! Herrrbbbbbbbbb! Sorry guys, I'll stop puking and get my head out of the bowl in a second. Herrrbbbbbbbbb! Herrrbbbbbbbbb! Herrrbbbbbbbbb! Oh, boy, that's feeling a tad better.

No it wasn't any food poisoning, or too many vote-for-me ads, but yet another instance of a sportsman who reckons he's got more braincells than nostrils.

The puke-inducer this time around is current media punching bag and Muslim convert Tony Mundine, who reckons that America basically asked for the terrorist attacks because of its foreign policy over the years.

Now I have got no drama with Mundine saying that. He may have a small point - and he certainly is allowed to voice his opinion anyway - but what brings my stomach lining shooting out of my mouth is the fact that having said it, on live TV, he now claims he was set up.

It's like the old "I was misquoted" crap that caught-out wankers come out with when they realise they've just stepped in a fresh steaming pile of dog crap.

Now Mundine is not a bad boxer - and certainly the blow that flattened his last opponent was an absolute pearler (reminding me of my young days) - but when it comes to thinking before speaking he ain't that quick.

Even his fellow Muslims have winced at the statements and, in no uncertain terms, have suggested that as a religious cleric he's a good boxer. I think that's the nice way of saying: "Just shut the f*** up Tony and leave complex religious matters for those of us who have studied our religion for some decades."

And that about sums it.

So Tony, keep those hands up, the feet skipping and unless you want to be without sponsors for the rest of your fight career - keep your trap shut.
