The George Michael Sports Machine is a long-running television show, syndicated by NBC. Hosted since its inception in 1984 by George Michael, a former WABC radio DJ, the show presents clips from the weekend's sporting events from across the US, and sometimes Canada, if a given league includes teams there. Unlike newer sports-related programming, the Sports Machine doesn't present commentary or criticism, just the weekend's highlights, and sometimes an in-depth story about a particular athlete. The show is also somewhat unique in its occasional coverage of remarkable high school sports footage, and its occasional coverage of sports largely ignored by other sports wrap-up shows, such as equestrian events. The show is sometimes derided for the large quantity of fake machinery on its set. ...more on Wikipedia about "The George Michael Sports Machine"
Woofing is a term commonly used in online sports forums, which refers to the boasting of sports fans about the results of upcoming sporting events, or to boasts about the (alleged) superiority of a given team or athlete. Generally, the term is reserved for remarks of an obnoxious, inflammatory, or unsubstantiated nature. General statements of support for a favorite team (that does not denigrate the opposition) is not considered woofing; nor is informed, articulate commentary on sports (even if it includes predictions or statements concerning a team's or athlete's relative merits). The word "woof", when used in this context, is also occasionally spelled "weauxf". The origin of the faux French spelling is unclear; it may have originated from the fans of the LSU Tigers college football team, or their opponents, in reference to the cajun culture prevalent in the state of Louisiana. It is considered an article of faith in many online sports forums, dating back to the days of Usenet, that over-enthusiastic woofing will (via a sort of karmic retribution) doom the beneficiary team or athlete to a poor performance or embarrassing loss. This notion is formalized as Oliver's Woofing Theorem, named after longtime Usenet regular Jim Oliver, who first proposed it. The theorem states: ...more on Wikipedia about "Woofing"
