A Quick News Round-Up as You do Your Duty as an American and Think About William Howard Taft

By: Martha | February 19th, 2007

So Russian.•Did you see the blood pouring out of Eugenio Corini’s nose yesterday, during Palermo’s dismal draw with Chievo? Well it turns out the thing was broken, not just bloody. Not to worry, though. Everyone’s favorite Russian-looking midfielder had surgery today to set it and such is his badass-ness that he will be back in training later this week. He’ll not be allowed to play this weekend against Atalanta, but since he cleverly picked up yet another yellow on Sunday and is suspended, he wouldn’t have been eligible anyway.

•Fabio Capello has brought Antonio Cassano back into the Real side and has either tendered his resignation, or hasn’t. Well, that’s nice and clear.

•Get yer game-used (fat) Ronaldo jersey right here! Milan are auctioning off the shirt El Gordo won during the first half his Milan debut against Livorno, and will donated the proceeds to their very own charity. (Apparently the Milan Foundation are paying for the construction of a new neonatal intensive care unit iat the Holy Family Hospital in Nazareth this year. The Pope is surely thrilled.) At the moment, the top bid is a mere €9104 — the auction ends Friday, so start checking the couch cushions for those extra Euros.

•Roberto Baggio has a blog, Roberto Baggio has a blog! He turned 40 yesterday and, like any reasonable football legend, celebrated by launching his own website and trying to make everyone cry with his ludicrous sincerity. “Join the website and the blog. When I’ll blow out the candles on my birthday’s cake, I’ll be thinking of you. We come back with joy towards new goals, always led by those values I took as landmark during my life: courage, strengyh, resolution and loyalty. And then the dream, never stop dreaming. I’m waiting for you.” There’s aren’t tears, there’s just something in my eye. Shut up.

    Is the Ronaldo shirt unwashed? Would it be possible to get his DNA from it? And if so… Well, why Ronaldo and not Zizou?

    Hey, I’m just asking.

    Laurie, I’m envisioning some sort of Six Million Dollar Man scenario here — Better, Stronger, Thinner!

    How exactly do you extract DNA from jerseys? Can you just … wring them out into a jar? I’m both troubled and awed by the potential here.
