Paul and Glenn are back for another action packed, entertaining and fun episode. This week we discuss some sportspeople from over the years who had Whiteline fever. They were friendly and nice away from their sporting arena however, once they went over that white line they suddenly changed and became fierce, determined competitors, sometimes breaking the rules and going too far. Some of who we discuss include
- a Rugby League player from the late 70's and early 80's who was a feared competitor and often spent more time off the field than on it due to his on-field issues.
- a former attacking Aussie batsman who played a key role in the team's era of dominance and had a nice guy image away from the field however was a fierce sledger on it.
- other former Aussie cricket greats such as Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Rodney Hogg, Steve Waugh.
- Dennis Rodman, Connor Macgregor, Luis Suarez.
- Petra Kvitova and Andy Murray
- PK Subban
-Shaquelle O'Neal
- Heather Watson
- JJ Watt
We have our Claps and Slaps for the week and our Quiz. We also have our segments Who Am I? and Where Are They Now?
Paul gives his top 5 sportspeople with White Line Fever and Glenn finishes up with some cracking jokes.
