Dude kicked out of darts tournament for looking like Jesus, for the second year in a row


Nathan Grindal, who looks like Jesus
It is a tradition like no other.  Every year, we celebrate Thanksgiving, give some Hanukkah presents, head out to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, and Nathan Grindal gets kicked out of a darts tournament for looking like Jesus

We highlighted the story last year,  but this year is much worse, given the absolute stunner outfight the Grundal was wearing.  Grindal said "I'm not trying to look like Jesus. I'm not even religious".  Are you kidding? Walking aroud in that awesome Captain America / Greenman outfit, and you'd have me believe you aren't trying to look like Jesus?  Dead ringer.

Vote For Phil!

I absolutely love that Phil Taylor is running away with this poll of "most dominant sports champions".  Tiger Woods is a vastly distant 4th.

Sky Sports counts down the most dominant champions in sport

There is only one Phil Taylor,
One Phil Taylor!
Walking along,
singing this song
Walking in a Taylor wonderland!

Darts World Record

Plymouth friends aim to break darts world record

"The current world record stands at 42 hours continuous play, but the these lads have set themselves a target of more than 48 hours".

Two things here. First of all, I'm pretty sure we have had S501 games that lasted longer than 42 hours. That Double-1 doesn't hit itself.

Secondly, what is the record for bi-athlons? Come talk to me when you have played darts AND BOWLED for 48 hours (and mix in some foosball).

Phil Taylor Plays Local Club

Phil Taylor takes on Yorkshire’s best darts players in Harrogate.  Must have been an amazing evening for the local players to get a chance to see, and play against, the best ever.  Amazing that someone managed to beat him.
