Benedict (Benz) Christianson
Breaking News - Maverick Succumbs To Injury
Details are still coming in, but this journalist has it on good authority that Benedict 'Maverick' Christianson has played his last game. Sports fans will remember THAT game and the sound of his femur breaking under the weight of a tackle gone bad. My sources say that the bone is taking longer to heal and there have been complications during physiotherapy. With his contract up at the end of the year and no teams circling, Maverick is expected to clean out his locker and join the ranks of the former rugby league superstars. Will he become a commentator? Another player manager? Or an invisible has been? Only time will tell, and you know I'll be the one to tell you, first.
Graeme Masters, Rugby League World
I read the comments from keyboard warriors who predicted the end of my career before I’d been carted off the field, and bounce my cell off the nearest wall. I don’t have the energy to deal with this. I certainly don’t have the energy to limp past the gauntlet of parasites that are probably already camped outside my home.
Benz to Kenz: Got a spare room?
Kenz: Sara has come home from college.
Benz: She's not old enough to go to college
Kenz: You sound like our parents. She's 23 and I'm expected to babysit her and keep her out of trouble
Kenz: Just saw the press release. RUOK?
Benz: Cell is blowing up. Need to hide.
Kenz: I have a sofa that turns into a bed. If you don't mind sharing a bathroom with Sara and the TV remote with both of us, you know where I keep the spare key
Benz: Thanks and don't tell anyone where I am
Kenz: That's what BFF are for. But don't try anything with my sister or my parents will blame me.
Sara . I can’t believe it. Sara is back in town and staying with Kenzie. Sassy Sara who has owned my heart for five years and doesn’t know it.
I’m not going to make my best friend a promise I won’t keep, but as I clean out my locker for the last time, I finally have something good to focus on.
Sara . She might be my best friend’s little sister, but I’m going to make her mine.
