Two presenters on ESPN's SportCenter took it upon themselves to come to grips with Australian rules football, otherwise known as AFL.

Suffice it to say, Robert Flores and Kevin Connors did not do well. Making the obligatory Crocodile Dundee reference -- "that’s not a knife, this is a knife" -- the two even mangled the name of AFL club Collingwood, calling it "Collingworth." Also, you just have to take offence to the way they say "Melbourne." Gotta get more nasal on the end there, guys.

The interesting phrase, "I don't know what a ripper is, but I like it," was also uttered.
