You could have interviewed Uncle Barry, Matt Porter and now Eddie Hearn at any point over the past twenty years, and these three bulletpoints would have been the same. Is that really the best content you could get from a half-hour long interview?

An interesting article on the 180 zoom and spotting

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/ ... darts?s=09

Note for Nikki: This is a Guardian article, so might cause your blood pressure to rise. The author looks like one of those foreign types that come in by boat from France. The article doesn't mention it but they probably are subliminally telling you to inject yourself with 5g or something. Go woke go broke.

It's OK though, he started at the Telegraph, which means he's still a Telegraph journalist.

But I think he had it a bit wrong about the 180 zoom. The drama isn't in the zoom. The drama is in the way a 180 can swing a leg. The zoom is helpful because it's not always clear that the first two are in the bed.

makes a change for the darts to be getting articles other than fallon related, though not as positive
