Don’t go anywhere… here’s the sport on TV this weekend…

The Heineken Cup returns, Tim Tebow rises again and everything else between.

GIVEN UP ON the new year fitness buzz already?

Still a week or more til pay-day? Tired of spending time with your friends and family?

Us too! join us on the sofa for the weekend.. here’s what’s on the box:

  • One sit in for: At the risk of repeating ourselves… you have to watch Tebow v Tom Br… I mean the Broncos v the Patriots. Do it.
  • One to Sky-plus: You may lose your job if you stay up to watch the tennis from Melbourne on Sunday night.
  • One to skip: The Joburg Open doesn’t have me getting the popcorn in the microwave if I’m honest, Jeff… unless Damien McGrane hangs on in there at the top of the leaderboard.
