Andrew Symonds: Peak Failure
Thumbing my way through the pages of sport, from local rags to the international columns, it was hard not to notice the lack of news stories beyond who would manager England's football team.

Including Shane Warne making sure either he or Liz Hurley weren't very far away from a Herald Sun reporter.
