Let's hope the Pope says condoms are OK after all: Italian team Premiata Montegranaro announced Sunday that 38-year-old Shawn Kemp has agreed to play for the team starting in November.

Hilarious title fraz. I get it. Most puirists will too, but I am sure someone will have to complain or mention about editorializing in your leads.....DAMN!! It was me, and I don't even care (how do they do that?).

I think the bigger concern is the food, not the friskiness.

If he wants to find "training partners" in Italy, first he has to be able to keep up with them.

Some of Kemp's late stage NBA appearances featured noticeable added mass in all the wrong places.

If he's headed to the land of canneloni with broiled cream sauce, his goal should be to slim down to Manute Bol or Shawn Bradley proportions before he heads over there.

I wonder what history Kemp made that the coach was referring to. He needs the money. He didn't make as much as he should have during his NBA career, and he has a lot of mouths to feed.
