CHELSEA V MAN-U

The much anticipated EPL showdown between Chelsea and Man-U was nothing short of spectacular. Even with 6 months left in the season, the boys played as if it were their last game and delivered a match as beautiful as the players themselves. The 1-1 draw didn’t give either team a psychological advantage, but gave me a little respect for Man-U’s Ronaldo, who lived up to his stellar reputation. But still, no one can top my Drogba or the polished sex appeal of Jose Mourinho.

CAPTAIN FABIO

The 2006 ‘Ballon d’Or’ has ‘unofficially’ been won by Italy’s World Cup-winning captain fabulous Fabio Cannavaro, who spanked Brazilian transvestite Ronaldinho outta contention to become the 51st winner of this prestigious award. The honor is given each year to the hottie considered to have performed the best over the previous year. Cannavaro, who performs flawlessly with those stellar legs and tattoos of his, led my libido right into an overdose of hot Italians during their World Cup Victory. Ronaldinho won the award in 2005, Shevchenko won in 2004, and sexy blond Pavel Nedved was honored in 2003. The only drawback to this Award is that it comes from the French. ‘Ballon d’Or’ is French for Golden Ball and is also known as the European Footballer of the Year Award. I’ll stick to the old school name and call it as it is, a delicious Golden Ball. France Football is due to officially name the award winner on November 27th, and because it’s coming from France, I anticipate things won’t go as smoothly as expected for our little Italian treat.

FATHEADS OR WALLBANGERS?

BOO

Jeremy Roenicks appearance on Friday night’s episode of Ghost Whisperer wasn’t nearly as scary as I had anticipated. His brief cameo was strongly overshadowed by the ‘extras’ that littered the locker room scene with some delicious eye candy. Admittedly, I watch the show, but was a bit surprised when the ghost was revealed as a juiced- up pitcher experiencing some roid-rage against a former teammate. It was a bit anti-doping preachy, but like I said, it was all about the locker room scene for me.

R-FED GOES BEANIE

The official launch of Roger Federer’s Beanie Baby kicks off tomorrow on the Ty website (www.tytrade.com). The 8-inch bear comes complete with attitude, a teal blue ATP T-shirt, its own racket and a white headband. At least if you buy one, 5 bucks from each sale goes to support the UNICEF-ATP charity.
