4/29/08: The Crying Game

Today, if you were to have tagged "sex" and "sports" and "extortion" you would have hit a trifecta.

I'll start with the boring story: Roger Clemens and his ten-year fling with a country music singer who seems intent on throwing him under the bus just so she can revive her "career." A person he first saw when he was pitching for the Red Sox and the 15-year-old was singing karoke in a Boston bar. Ok, not a bad open.

Sill, Ho hum. What else do you got?

 Well, I think the really salacious news is that international soccer star Ronaldo was caught in a hotel room with not ONE, not TWO, but THREE blackmailing transvestite prostitutes. Not that being a transvestite prostitute is illegal, at least not in Brazil. And I'm not even sure that blackmail is illegal in Brazil... It should be said that he was able to keep up his masculine image when it came to light that he tried to break-off the "menage a'.... quatre" (?!) as soon as he found out the prostitutes were men.

The Brazillian footballer plays for AC Milan and they are nearing the equivalent of the "playoffs" so, don't expect any suspensions. Not because of his transgression.  But because Italians could care less about his sex life.
