The Late Grab: 01.31


Nothing new in Italia, as former-PM Silvio Berlusconi attempts to extract a shiny Ferragamo from his surgically-enhanced mouth by publicly apologizing to his surgically-enhanced wife for even the slightest suggestion of infidelity. Ciao bella, so I love women . . . [SFGate]

Becks Watch: David Hirshey over at Deadspin barely scratches the surface on just how Americans feel about Goldenballs, despite 99.99% of us never actually ever witnessing DB kick a ball (Unless you count the endless replays of his free kick against Greece between Army ads on FSC). Having said that, I've seen the phenomenon several times and can share their sentiment. [Deadspin]

It's hard being the German equivalent of Man U (In terms of revenue and a penchant for uninspiring midfielders). Despite winning the domestic double two years in a row, die alte power at Bayern Munich sack Felix Magath and bring back Ottmar Hitzfeld, who will look to minimize the eight point gap between them and first place. Alas, it was a good run for the most tan man in Deutschland. [World Soccer]

Matthew Upson gets a chance to shove his finger in the leaking dike over at Upton Park. Upton-bound Upson? Upson to Upton? I'll let the British rags think of a clever headline for the used band aid that is the former Gunner as he boards the sinking ship. [UEFA]
