18:30 Every time I watch #9newsat6 makes me think how much I miss Hendo and Wilkie. #
16:21 3 out of 11 kids into meltdown and a thunderstorm interrupting the bbq. Pretty good 9yo birthday party all up. #
13:02 Miss 8 is now Miss 9. See you on the other side of festivities. #
12:52 I'm always amazed by the obits that AP have at the ready. RT @nytimes: Whitney Houston, Singer and Actress, Dies at 48 http://t.co/xayct4gs #

15:52 Just Say Neigh. #
15:03 Yay. RT @TennisAustralia: And it is done 62 62 62 in 86 minutes and the Aussies take an unbeatable 30 lead #daviscup #

23:21 Now with the cricket out of the way I shall watch #PlanetAmerica on that evil Optus TV Now. #
20:57 I just realised that I've never seen The Big Bang Theory. What's it about? #
16:07 Tonight, in two hours time, we will have breaking news about.... #9newsat6 #oxymoron #
12:53 Sorry @lateline but I totally fail to see the point of #latelinetweets. Even more so if TJ's not on the Twitter himself. #
12:29 Is Lana Del Rey a new breed of alpaca and if so will its fleece keep me warm in winter? #
12:27 Am I supposed to know who or what a Lana Del Rey is? #
12:17 As the rain stops, the sky clears and the sun reappears over Sydney, so the #NRL ends and the #ARLC is born. #
11:26 Hmm. Totally forgot about a doctor's appt this morning, which is unusual for me. Probably just as well as it's pouring outside. #
10:55 Just brilliant! RT @CSIROnews: Our Parkes Dish immortalised in #LEGO: http://t.co/j5H9T2gW ^SC #
10:38 Apparently that #daviscup Youtube stream is only available in Australia, but follow @TennisAustralia for match info #
10:36 Not on 7 or Fox Sports, but live on Youtube: #DavisCup Aus v China (via @googledownunder): - http://t.co/fsFw7BFC #tennis #
08:48 Next Friday I want Doc Evatt and Artie Fadden on the #partyline panel. More relevant than these two. @breakfastnews #abc1 #abc24 #
08:37 #abc1 showing Grumpy Old Men at 8.30am? Oh wait, it's Bob Carr and John Hewson on @breakfastnews #
08:35 Oh. Is it against the law to call it the #NRL now? #ARLC #
08:11 Modern technology at Henson Park, @newtownrlfc? Isn't that what's called Jumping The Cronulla Shark? #nswcup #nswrl #
08:09 This just seems wrong :) MT @NSWRL: The @newtownrlfc have a new digital scoreboard at Henson just in time for the 2012 #VBNSWCUP season. #

21:56 Disappointingly, the NSW ALP online shop doesn't stock any "Morris Iemma: More to do but heading in the right direction" merchandise #
21:51 Oh. Dear. For only $5 you too can support the NSW ALP by buying a "Barrie Unsworth: On The Right Track" badge - http://t.co/36phwAEi #
21:19 hmm email from the NSW ALP inviting me to enter a comp to win NRL corporate tickets http://t.co/thjoodv5 (NB I'm not an ALP member) #
20:20 I'm sorry, but Chris Uhlmann's political interviewing career peaked with Mal Meninga in 2001. #abc730 #auspol #
18:23 Let me understand this. Joe Hildebrand is making a documentary for the ABC about racism. #
17:59 I've heard of MC Hammer but this... RT @rod_benson: I just hope #mcdud doesn't start trending on Twitter... #
13:41 3:622/425. That was my Fidonet address in the mid-1990s. Utterly useful snippet of info that now I think. #
13:30 And with that click, rickeyre.blogspot.com is going, going... gone. #
07:07 Oh dear, there's that pesky Trafigura again. RT @guardianeco: Trafigura in South Sudan oil row http://t.co/Q5SL4FX7 #

21:10 and in other news, a treacherous former rugby league player has won a Bum Of The Month prize fight #
19:54 I think I've seen enough Rick Santorum puns for today, thank you very much! #
18:15 I don't think I need Mr Hildebrand on my timeline any more. #
17:42 The Mackay Cutters (QRL Cup) are named for the sugar cane industry. The Illawarra Cutters (#nswcup) are named for the coal mining industry. #
17:37 Yep. RT @SenatorLudlam: Optus court decision “common sense” - http://t.co/f5mW6TZI #
16:41 Illawarra Qatars? I've heard of expansion teams but this is ridiculous... #nswcup #nswrl #
12:19 Lang and Gina #namethesatellites #
12:18 Bring back International Sports Centre! #newcastle RT @newcastleherald: Ausgrid drops stadium naming rights sponsorship http://t.co/TC9YWcKd #

17:50 Top 15 Tweets-Per-Second Moments Ever on Twitter via @mashable http://t.co/l0pZ0EC6 #
17:43 Is that between Mix and Nova? MT @ScottMorrisonMP: Coalition Nauru costings are from DeltaFM #
17:30 @doggedtim and hopefully the ones that replace them will be managed better #
16:24 Sad. Shameful. Unnecessary. RT @newcastleherald: Final fig falls on Laman Street: http://t.co/fUV4DhG6 #newcastle #
15:35 New from me, and before it gets too stale: "Is this the creepiest ritual in modern sport?" http://t.co/lCczuPBx #superbowl #sb46 #
15:12 "Federation Chamber" - isn't that real estate agentspeak for an outdoor dunny? #qt #auspol #
14:33 So now we wait for the reaction from the big banks, whether they will pass on the lack of change in interest rate. #auspol #
14:31 Yes it is. RT @1RossGittins: brilliant exposition by @lenoretaylor of how reporting of leadership challenges works http://t.co/yM1SijHv #
13:47 I like reading @theglobalmail on my mobile browser. On web browser, however, it's a bit over-designed and under-tested... #
13:15 Although this writer thinks otherwise, I think the non-performance of the Best Song noms at the Oscars is great news - http://t.co/RVnnyTj4 #
11:10 But how many watched just for Madonna? RT @MediaweekAUS: TV ratings @SuperBowl 160k (ONE) 108k (TEN) 94k (ESPN) Total 362k #
08:25 So what was on the other channels? RT @meadea: 111.3 million audience for Superbowl on NBC is biggest ever #superbowl #

23:30 It seems that anything can be explained through the music of Miles Davis (and God knows I'm guilty of trying that myself) #
23:27 Umm, hokay... "Miles Davis and the rebirth of Thabo Mbeki" - Opinion - Mail & Guardian Online http://t.co/KCGbND33 #
23:04 "We have updated our privacy policy. Please give us your full date of birth." Pass. #
22:37 Well at least Hawaii Five-O_o kept the theme tune. Back to the ABC for #lateline. #
22:19 Why didn't anyone tell me that the new series is Hawaii Five-0, not Hawaii Five-O? #
21:40 A pompous questioner and thirty seconds of Penny Wong is enough to send me from #qanda to the nouveau Hawaii Five-O. #
21:34 Right, it's time to change channels to the SBS News.... oh. #
20:43 I described this earlier as one of the creepiest moments I'd ever seen in sport. From the post-game ceremony at #sb46 - http://t.co/EIoOHrle #
20:17 Roseanne Barr @therealroseanne is seeking Green Party nomination for US President - http://t.co/fFHDJkgu #
17:10 I'm not on that list and have no reason to be, but some of the names on it are hilarious, as are some notables left out. #
17:05 One of the sillier exercises I've seen, the "top 500 Aus journos" (actually 540) by order of influence in social media http://t.co/4DYOg7Az #
14:28 My Storification of Super Bowl XLVI is now here - http://t.co/f5J2wHTz #sb46 #superbowl @storify #
14:14 And Channel Ten has decided that we are missing out on valuable minutes of Ready Steady Cook. #
14:06 That right there had to be one of the creepiest moments I've seen in all of sport. I hope there will be a Youtube clip to add to Storify. #
14:04 Oh we have a Chevrolet Post Game Show, not doubt driving on those Bridgestone Halftime tyres. #sb46 #
13:54 Somewhere up there Don Lane is celebrating right now. #NYGiants 21-17 full-time. #sb46 #superbowl #
13:51 Why did the Prime Minister call a press conference before the #Superbole was finished? #auspol #
13:45 Oh you're kidding me. #sb46 #superbowl #nygiants #
13:36 I think my Giants by 3 prediction is now mathematically impossible. #sb46 #superbowl #superbole #
12:25 I must say this #Superbowl is not the same without Don Lane whooping it up for his #NYGiants in the ch10 studio. #
12:16 Wondering who the singer was during the half-time break at the #superbowl? Here's an example of her recent work
http://t.co/VFjR51Wp #
12:10 So why all the fuss about the AFL using aging has-beens for their grand final show? #sb46 #superbowl #
12:02 Suppose this is a good time to have a shower. #
11:58 Tracksuits RT @latikambourke Eyebrows anyone? RT @TwitSchtef I also don't remember people critisizing Howard's choice of suits or hairstyle. #
11:18 Err, why is @theglobalmail displaying the Time website (and probably many others) inside a frame? #
10:54 I promise to go easy on the #SB46 tweetage if you follow my Storification of the game instead - http://t.co/goMkDpzz #superbowl @storify #
10:44 say what? A *safety*?? Go Giants! #sb46 #
10:42 of course, as a show of support for Julia Gillard, I should use this morning the hashtag #superbole #
10:39 #sb46 #superbowl #environment #earthhour RT @earthhour: Infographic: Super Bowl XLVI goes green http://t.co/y5x7eTAo #
10:31 Ok, a prediction I guess. Giants by 3. #sb46 #superbowl #

Is this the creepiest ritual in modern sport?

I don't think I've seen anything quite so creepy as this in sport - and certainly not involving NFL players since Rosey Grier co-starred with Ray Milland in "The Thing With Two Heads". It happened during the post-game ceremonies at Super Bowl XLVI, won by the New York Giants over the New England Patriots.
