The greatest smack ever talked

No, that’s not a video of Jamie on Cold Pizza the other day, though that would be cool too. No, fortunately, this is the video of Zidane flipping his top in the World Cup. As you probably know, Italy won on PK’s.

Without getting into it too much (this is the weekend after all, I’m not supposed to be blogging), something crazy had to have been said. Something so insane, so offensive, so ‘I’m going to do terrible things to your family you (insert racial epithet here)’, as to have caused Zidane to do that. Watch as he wheels around and goes straight for the chest. Whatever it was, it had to have been the greatest bit of trash-talk in recorded history.

I mean, with the exception of Marcelo Balboa, how many things actually make you want to slam your head into another man’s sternum?

    That was awesome. I couldn’t believe it. It’s sad for Zidane because if he would have kept his head for 10 more minutes, he would have gone down in history as a great player who came out of retirement and kicked ass in his last World Cup. I’m not saying they would have won, but Italy looked weak in the overtime periods and another 10 minutes may have given the France team a few more good chances to score. Instead, now people will think of a headbutt to the sternum when they hear the name “Zinedine Zidane.” It is really a shame because that’s not what people should think of when they hear his name, but they will and he has himself to blame.

    Boy would I love to find out what was said to Zidane, because like you stated, it had to be unbelievable.

    Well, it’s more a love affair with Jamie at Mr. Irrelevant for pimping us on there, but, we’re attention-grubbing whores, so we’ll take it. On that note, be sure to check out Cold Pizza today, 11 am ET, 10 Central.

    Haha, ok. I basically just wanted you to call yourself a whore. I’m good now. But there’s no way in hell I”m watching Cold Pizza.

    Apparently, Zidane was called a ‘dirty terrorist.’ There’s an article from Reuters.

  7. […] In case you haven’t been following along, I’ve become slightly obsessed with the whole Zidane-Materazzi blowup. What can I say? When you see a man drop another with a head to the chest, it’s not something you can unthink easily. It must be pored over and worked through until a logical conclusion can be reached. […]
