Apparently that wasn't quite enough to set him off, so he allegedly then called Z 'son of a terrorist whore.' I agree, it still shouldn't have been anything he hadn't heard before. OK, I thought of a joke. New <I>Onion</i> headline: <B>Materazzi Killed By IED While Leaving World Cup Final <I>Zidane: "That'll teach him not to call me a terrorist"</i></b> And yeah, I did a double-take after the first paragraph. You'll love this one - since I picked up the game just before half time, you watched more of it than I did!

As I said in my comment on your blog; special kinda stupid. BTW, did you spew your drink in shock when you read that I had actually watched it? ;-) Zidane is 34 years old; what could have Materazzi said that he hasn’t heard before?

Forgot to fix that before posting. Also, there's a joke there about Materazzi's car suddenly exploding with him in it, but I'll let somebody else make it.

Materazzi, of course, denies it, but a British paper is supposedly hiring a lip reader to figure out what was said. And I'm a bit ashamed to know all that, actually. Although I did stumble on to something while watching - the ONLY way to watch soccer is to TiVo it (ReplayTV, in my case) and play it back at 2x speed. Everything is WAY more interesting.
