Todd Carney sets Mans Pants on Fire

[adamkungl]

Why? What have I said that makes you think that?

I'm not the one denying the fact I'm interested in what happens with players off the field.

 

[Chachi]

I'd hazard a guess it being ''the game'' as in rugby league ''the greatest game'', not a game as in a match between two teams, see where I'm going?

So what are the fascinating stories of the moment ink? Underrated wingers? TV coverage prior to 1998? The NRL Commission?

I'm as guilty as anyone here of reading this crap, but the point I'm making is that the only reason this interest exists is because the media pump the game up (as they have a vested advertising interest) with off season rubbish because there is a market for it.

The only reason Todd Carney is in the news for lighting his friends balls is because advertisers and supporters pay him big dollars to play football. People heavily invest in these players financially and emotionally so therefore it's not rocket science to understand why this sort of ridiculous bullsh*t makes headlines.

the only reason 7 ran with this is because they are trying to make it difficult for the Roosters to get a sponsor

they even lied about the story and the seriousness of it and tried to make it out like it was some random guy

7 are scum. ask Soccer fans

Bollocks. People invest in the club and the excited expectations of winning each game & maybe even a premiership.

Advertisers & supporters dont pay Carney money. They pay to particpate with their chosen club in the sport.

Adam, just because I'm the one pointing out that someone who is apparently uninterested in what players do in their private lives ironically finds the need to post opinions about those incidents in a league forum, it doesn't mean I'm more inclined to read celebrity mags.

You're posting here as much as me...maybe you should be reading celebrity mags?

Sure. Advertising means nothing. You win. :lol:

No worries. You keep making it up as you go along then.

Maybe so, but you must have a vague reason as to why this would even rate a mention on a national news broadcast and in various newspapers around the country. Carney has a history of doing dumb sh*t. He got rubbed out of the game for over a year for doing dumb sh*t. He's not some random reserve grader. If the Roosters are happy to take the financial risk that is Todd Carney then it's on their heads.

Just don't tell Jatz Crackers your theory. Apparently sponsors don't give a sh*t what happens off the field. (LG, Samsung, BlueScope Lysaght anyone :lol

 

[Chachi]

How was i to know he neglected to drink from the furry cup,I did not pry into his private life.

Do you really want to huuuurt me? Do you really want to maaake me cry?

Jeebus Q, you've got some issues. :lol:

Has anyone ever gone to buy a product and decided against it because the manufacturers of that product sponsors a team that has a player in it who took a leak in a lane way at 3am in the morning.

Sponsors just want their name to be seen so when people go to buy a product they are aware of that brand when they see it.

It seems like yesterday that Samsung came to Oz but now its a household name.... no one has ever made a decision to buy or not to buy a Samsung TV because of Willie MAson or Nate Myles...

As far as selling papers goes - do numbers of papers sold change that much if a footy player is involved in an incident? You may get a few people who don't generally buy that paper pick it up but they are probably already footy fans to a degree and they will always probably stay that way and are just curious.

Like I keep saying, the bad publicity did not stop any of those parra supporters joining the band wagon last year....or the NRL having a great season in all areas....winning is everything.....good footy is everything...bad behaviour is just fodder for the people who dont like the game and no matter what will never like the game.

Whose guitar is that in your avatar LRC? What make is it?

now you're comparing gang rape to NYE tomfoolery?

The game has grown despite negative media focus.

Who's sponsoring the Roosters this season? Sorbent?

yet to be announced

When we start winning due to the on field success of Carney and co I'm sure sponsors will want us

ok, so why would Ch 7 care if the Roosters get sponsors or not? Care to elaborate on your theory?

 

[Kiki]

What possible reason would Channel 7 have to try and stop the roosters getting sponsorship?

Gee, sounds like something Raiders fans would have said in 2006. :lol:
