* Thou Shalt Not Eat, Unless Your Boss Says To. If Mahmoud Ahmedinejad had a problem with Germany yesterday because of a prognosticating pulpo, I can only imagine how ticked off he is today. Because today, in Germany, it was announced that an agreement was reached between football authorities and a Muslim group that players may break their fast during Ramadan if necessary to play a match. [Unprofessional Foul]
* Philly Fan Vomits, Pope Still Catholic. It seems like only yesterday I was expressing my disappointment at Philly fans for not behaving obnoxiously enough. What’s that? It was two days ago, you say? Either way, Phillies fans have heard my plea and given a pukey reply that could only come from the City of Brotherly Love. Ben Franklin would be proud of this young man. At least he’s not pulling the trigger on little girls. Video after the jump. [With Leather]
* Trial Evidence Seems To Indicate That Rick Pitino Enjoys Getting His Drink On. Some juicy tidbits arose during testimony today in the extortion trial of Karen Sypher a/k/a The Broad Who Knocked Boots With Rick Pitino After Close In An Empty Restaurant, and I am sure many more little tasty nuggets will be made known before this trial is wrapped up, but Sypher’s attorney, Jim Earhart, went to great lengths before the court recessed for lunch to point out the obscene bar tab Pitino ran up at Porcini’s Restaurant the evening Pitino and Sypher did the horizontal tabletop shuffle.

* Tim Tebow Jockey ad: Master Jock. Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow is the new face of Jockey underwear. Despite having never played an NFL game, Jockey announced on Monday that Tebow has signed a multi-year contract to be a spokesman for the brand. Tauntr.com obtained an exclusive mock-up of the first print ad of Tebow modeling Jockey’s newest underwear, the Master Jock, which honors Jesus at the same time as protecting the jock like the Lord wants. The line’s target market, Jockey says, is male virgins who wish to remain abstinent until marriage, just like Tebow. [Tauntr]
* Idaho potato fight! Boise State fails pimp class. Manalive, threre’s nothing funnier than stumbling into a rivalry five hundred times more bitter than you thought it was, especially when all that bitterness is getting a thorough public airing. Boise State and Idaho were talking about whether to play their rivalry game. … Then this quaint family get-together got way out of hand. [Every Day Should Be Saturday]
