Footy star reveals his teammate's disgusting habit with his underpants and a common piece of kitchen equipment
Greater Western Sydney Giants skipper Toby Greene has revealed the downright stomach-turning habit that his teammate Tom Green has when he's staying in a hotel room. Green, who is often away from home travelling with his team, has devised an unconventional laundry hack that his captain has described as 'disgraceful'. 'This is not right in my books,' smiled Green while appearing on the TFG Tuesdays podcast. 'Tom Green reckons that sometimes when he's traveling, especially overseas, if he can't get to a laundromat or something, he will chuck his undies in a kettle and boil the kettle to clean his underwear in the hotel room. 'Disgraceful. And he reckons that it's a thing. 'I drink cups of tea every night at the hotels. I was disgusted.' Green says he couldn't believe what he was hearing and he was hoping that listeners to the show could provide their thoughts on the matter. Footy fans on social media were quick to agree with Greene's take about his teammate's laundry hack, with some vowing to never drink tea in a hotel room again. Several others piped up to say that they had heard of the practice. Meanwhile, GWS veteran Stephen Coniglio has revealed a nerve issue has been the cause of his indefinite stint on the sidelines. A glute issue originally thought to put Coniglio out for just one week has kept the star onballer missing from action since round three. It is a frustrating setback for the 31-year-old, who had been rediscovering his form after facial surgery and a shoulder reconstruction in the off-season. 'It was our West Coast game (in round four) and I just woke up like any other morning, just preparing to come to captain's run, and I just couldn't walk,' Coniglio said on Monday. 'I felt this pain shooting down my leg ... I just pulled out of that game, disappointing, just thinking a couple of days it'll settle. 'As it's gone on, it's moved from my glute down my hamstring. 'It's been a bit of trial and error, but it's a nerve issue that's bothering me. 'I tried a couple of injections that, again, hadn't seemed to work initially. We're trying a few other things at the moment.' Coniglio's return has been pushed back to their round-14 fixture against Brisbane, but he admits the timeline isn't certain. The time away from the game has at least given Coniglio more confidence in his shoulder and face, the inaugural Giant insisting he still has more to give. 'I'm over 30 now, so everyone's pointing to maybe it could be that, but I'm feeling 24, 25 again after having not played a lot for the last year,' he said. 'Last year, dealing with the two operations gave me some really good mental perspective on how lucky I am and how grateful I am to play this game. 'I'm very confident in my own ability and that I'll be back playing my best very soon. I love the game so much.'

Milestone man Greene lights up as Giants flex muscles
GWS superstar Toby Greene celebrated his 250-game milestone in style with a starring role in his side's hard-fought 28-point win over Carlton. Moved into the midfield to cover for injured teammates, Greene was an influential figure throughout the Giants' 17.8 (110) to 12.10 (82) victory at Marvel Stadium on Saturday. The inspirational skipper tallied 28 disposals, six clearances and three goals as GWS improved their record to 6-5, following four defeats in their previous five games. Carlton, meanwhile, slipped to 4-7 heading into their mid-season bye. Greene produced a huge opening term - 11 disposals, four score involvements and two goals - and kicked the sealer to help GWS resist a late challenge. He had plenty of teammates willing to get their hands dirty, with Tom Green (25 disposals), Lachie Whitfield (27), Lachie Ash (28) and Xavier O'Halloran (19) all busy. Jesse Hogan (four), Jake Riccardi (three), Callum Brown (three) and Aaron Cadman (two) all kicked multiple goals as the Giants posted their second-highest score of the season. 250 games for Toby Greene!And of course, the banner mentioned the fines 😂#AFLBluesGiants — AFL (@AFL) May 24, 2025 Blues captain Patrick Cripps struck the first blow in his battle with Toby Bedford, soaring for a mark on the tagger's shoulders and nailing a perfectly executed snap at goal. There were eight lead changes in the first half but none after the main break as GWS, whose greater efficiency in attack led to a 10-point half-time advantage, kept their noses in front. There was controversy when Bedford hurt his right shoulder attempting a tackle and umpires stopped play nearby several seconds later, deeming the injured player was in some danger. Carlton ruckman Tom De Koning had possession when a ball-up was called, while Bedford took his place next to Cripps at the ensuing stoppage despite his injury. Meanwhile, the Giants turned for home with a 14-point buffer when Riccardi delivered a dagger on the three-quarter time siren. GWS ruckman Kieren Briggs produced a highlight when he directly volleyed through a left-foot shot at a ball-up against De Koning at the top of the goal square. Carlton briefly got within nine points in the final term, but the Giants kicked the last three goals of the contest. Sam Docherty had 30 disposals and a goal on return for the Blues, who had few clear winners, with Sam Walsh (26 touches) and Cripps (25, one goal) also busy. Charlie Curnow kicked two of his three goals in the first quarter, but the Giants' defenders largely kept the Blues' tall forwards out of the contest. Carlton's defeat came despite their dominance in contested possession (154-116) and inside-50s (58-47).

Tom Green Leaving KUSA in Denver After More than 40 Years in Broadcasting
Tom Green is leaving Denver NBC affiliate KUSA after more than forty years in broadcasting. He started his Denver career in 1982 after working at ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut. He returned to the station in October 2017 after working for 15 years at KWGN in Denver. 'I drove from Bristol, Connecticut, to Denver in the very first days of 1982. My first stop, once I hit town, was 9NEWS – the 'old building' – at 1089 Bannock St. I'd left ESPN for a job in Colorado – a place I'd only read about, or seen on TV,' he wrote in a goodbye letter posted to the station's site. 'I didn't know anyone really, but I was excited … and terrified. So, here I am 43 years later … and now, it's time for something else.' In 35 years in Colorado, he's done everything from play-by-play sports to hosting an ESPN game show called Sports On Tap. He's also covered sports for KMGH and did 3 years of sports talk radio at The Fan with co-hosts Doug Moe & Dan Issel. He said he has a couple of projects he has been working towards, 'but I'm not sure how much (or even if) I plan to work anymore. My guess is I will, but not in a 24/7/365 news environment like I have been doing.' READ SOURCE

Tom Green ditches Hollywood for farm life in remote part of Canada: ‘There's not a lot outside'
After living in Hollywood for 20 years, Tom Green was ready to go home. It was 2021 when the comedian and actor moved back to his native country of Canada. Today, he resides on a 150-acre farm in a remote area of Ontario alongside chickens, a donkey and a 1,500-pound mule, among other animals. Advertisement 'I'm often in the wilderness,' the 53-year-old told Fox News Digital. 'There's not a lot outside the farm as far as restaurants and conveniences. In California, it was nice to be able to do stand-up comedy every night. It was nice to be able to have 200 different sushi restaurants you could go to. But… there's nothing really I miss about living there, to be honest with you. It's nice to be living in the country at the farm.' The MTV star who famously pranked everyone during the Y2K era — including his parents — is chronicling his new life in a series on Prime Video, 'Tom Green Country.' 6 Comedian Tom Green has left Hollywood and moved back to Canada. Getty Images The streaming giant is also offering 'This Is the Tom Green Documentary' about his rise to fame, as well as his stand-up special, 'Tom Green: I Got a Mule!'. He also has a new country album, 'Home to the Country,' a love letter to his new life. Advertisement 'I've kept all of this footage for years of my old public access show and videos that I used to make and my MTV show,' Green explained about why he decided to be the subject of a tell-all now. 'The show was pretty outrageous and kind of a crazy show,' he reflected. 'It was done in those early days of home video before social media. I think it sometimes shocked people, confused people. I was playing a little bit of a character or an amplified wild and crazy version of myself. I think I wanted to put this documentary together to… set the record straight and let people… get to know what I'm all about.' 6 The MTV star is documenting his new country life in a series on Prime Video, 'Tom Green Country.' Instagram/Tom Green Green said his desire to leave California started during the pandemic. His stand-up comedy tour was postponed for the year. So, he decided to go out into the desert in a camper van. Advertisement 'I was traveling all around the southwestern United States in a camper van doing videos for my YouTube channel and just recording podcasts,' he explained. 'Then I just realized I love being out in nature so much. I grew up in Canada, and I always spent a lot of time fishing and being out in the wilderness there. I just decided I wanted to live like that.' 'So, I moved back home,' he noted. 6 'I grew up in Canada, and I always spent a lot of time fishing and being out in the wilderness there. I just decided I wanted to live like that,' Green said. 'So, I moved back home.' Instagram/Tom Green Green's farm is located 'not far from where I grew up,' he shared. It's also close to his parents, who've forgiven him since he famously put a cow's head on their bed, 'Godfather'-style. Advertisement 'They still talk to me,' he said. 'Getting a farm close to my family, it's been the best decision I've made, I think ever, really… It's a lot different from Los Angeles, and I'm happy to be on the farm.' 'I've never really felt completely at home in Los Angeles… it always felt foreign to me,' Green reflected. 'It always felt strange to me to be in Los Angeles and in that world. I had a lot of fun there. I started doing stand-up comedy again in Los Angeles 20 years ago… I performed at the great comedy clubs of LA… But I always felt like I was missing home, and I wanted to be living closer to my family.' 6 'I performed at the great comedy clubs of LA… But I always felt like I was missing home, and I wanted to be living closer to my family,' Green said. Getty Images for Masters of Illusion Las Vegas Green has picked up some unexpected skills along the way. 'Riding my mule,' he boasted. 'I didn't know anything about riding horses or mules. Certainly didn't know how to get up in the morning and go out and take care of a giant 1,500-pound animal.' His new lady has been an inspiration, he said. 'Fanny is a massive rideable mule, maybe the biggest rideable mule in Canada… I saddle her up every morning. I ride her out into the wilderness. I've really gotten to become very comfortable riding Fanny and using her just to get around the property. And it's also been an extremely beautiful experience to be able to bond with an animal like that,' he said. 6 Green enjoys riding his mule. Instagram/Tom Green Advertisement 'I never really lived on a farm when I grew up,' Green shared. 'I lived in the city of Ottawa… [But] I would go out into nature. I'd go fishing, and I'd go out in the country. We had a cabin as a kid that we would go out and fish at, but I never actually had farm animals and all of that.' Escaping the glitz and glam of Hollywood has brought Green newfound peace. He spends his morning riding Fanny and feeding his chickens. He also works around his 1857 farmhouse with his dog Charley always nearby. You may even spot him on an ATV with his fiancée, Amanda Nelson. He was previously married to Drew Barrymore from 2001 to 2002. 6 Green was married to Drew Barrymore from 2001 to 2002. Getty Images 'When I was living in Los Angeles, and I was working in show business, it was always go-go-go,' he said. 'You're always trying to figure out what you're doing next, and you can get stressed out. It's nice to live in a simpler, calmer environment and just be in the presence of these animals. It's a very calming and peaceful thing. I think it makes me a much happier person for sure.' Advertisement Today, Green is living life on his terms. He still hits the road to perform comedy. But then he goes right back home, where his animals eagerly greet him. Anyone can do it too, he insisted. Just know what you're signing up for. 'If you do want to move to the country and leave the city, you have to genuinely like that rural lifestyle,' Green said. 'You have to want not just peace and quiet, but you have to enjoy all aspects of it. I love getting up in the morning and walking in the wilderness. Maybe there'll be a few mosquitoes here and there. Maybe there'll be some muddy boots. But it's something that's in your blood.' 'Doing things like fishing, hunting or just being outdoors can be very cathartic if it's really in your heart,' he said. 'If you feel that it's in your heart, and you want to live a simpler, more rural lifestyle, you should do it, because I think you won't regret it. It's not for everyone, but it was a great choice for me.'
