Until the fat lady sings

Ladies and gentlemen, the World Cup is over. But do not fear. The World Cup Newsletter will continue even after the curtain goes down on the Materazzi incident. We are committed to binging you sports commentary and cultural ruminations in some form or other. Stay tuned.
For now, Materazzi is all I can think about (Was there an all-star game last night? Is there a bike race happening somewhere in Europe?). Check out these videos that people keep sending me. First there are Materazzi’s dirty tricks. Then we’ve got the Italian training camp spoof. And, of course, there’s the other angle on the incident. Youtube is loaded with translations and reenactments. You can spend a long time over there, getting inspiration for the play.
Finally, for kicks, here’s the Adidas audition for Pedro, the pudgy kid in those Jose+10 ads.
