"No more skins for me."
Argentine national team manager Diego Maradona has been a font of amusement over the years and it appears that he will continue to be during this year’s World Cup. That he is endlessly entertaining is a function of Diego being half-crazy as a result of drug addictions, overdoses, and a deified celebrity status for thirty years, plus media desperately in search of story and Maradona’s desire to be the center of attention. This World Cup may be his last hurrah as a such a monumental figure with the ability to fix gazes upon him and so we expect there to be plenty of great stories involving Maradona so long as Argentina is still in the tournament. Monitoring Maradona will be your (hopefully daily) update on all things Maradona.
Now on to today’s installment…23 wildcats.
Seems I missed another great quote from El Pibe de Oro during yesterday’s press conference. Maradona is having trouble finding his starting eleven, but at least he has a squad full of Felis Silvistris.
I have 23 wild cats prepared to leave their skins on the pitch. With each training session it gets harder to decide.
Just a thought but he may want to find a goalkeeper, four defenders, four midfielders and two forwards to take the pitch rather than the ubiquitous college mascot wildcats. But, if you are a fur trader, I recommend you check out the Argentina matches for some easy skin collecting.
the sleeveless athletic shirt with matching shorts is not a good look for Maradona.
quick – throw him a muumuu:

STAT!
don’t forget he was announced dead and was on the cover of most UK papers (as being dead)
I’ll still never understand how you can do that much coke and be such a fatass.
My major coke period saw me go down to 160 lbs., and I’m 6 foot 2.

Wow, that’s some paragraph.
Its pretty impressive to be so not funny and not insightful in three sentences.
Throw in a hack premise and this is truly exceptional work.
Interesting list to look at, also a good way to look sound smart every march.

I consider it a badge of honor.
