Can the Utah Jazz be far behind?
When I think of kiss cams, the first thing that crosses my mind is that Harry Caray and Marge Schott died too soon.
What a shudder inducing thought.
OK, let her bring in the dog and make it a threesome.

Giorgio Chiellini should borrow his Italy teammate Mario Balotelli's t-shirt.

Chiellini, covered in blood, cleaning out Ronaldo in the most professional foul imaginable is a perfect summation of his career.
It's like Pippo Inzaghi looking shocked at being caught offside.

It's like Pippo Inzaghi looking shocked at being caught offside. Being a Juve fan, both of these comments made me laugh. Pippo played for Juve when I became a fan of the club and my favorite reference to him was that "He was born offsides" :)

I think Rex Ryan's Belichick obsession has gone too far when he's now trying to add a player who's involved in a murder inquiry.

He was born offsides
I play O-60 Sunday morning soccer with a fairly international bunch, including two guys from Ireland, who do a running commentary that includes phrases like that all match long.
It's a miracle that they can get to the park in anything close to upright condition that early on a Sunday. They are always wrecked on arrival.
I can't be paired behind them on the same side, because the ball goes right by us during the hilarity and they want to know why I can't properly control my field area while gasping for air amidst the involuntary diaphragmatic upheavals. And one of them has a voice that carries from here to the Vatican so there's no avoiding the spewing stream. It's as though someone took Ray Hudson and Robin Williams and shook them into a vinaigrette.

I was disappointed that when I went to youtube I found a collection of Pippo's goals, but couldn't find what I wanted, which was a 60 minute montage of him being caught offside over Kenny G smooth jazz.
