Wow, I hadn't seen a picture of him previously. Amazing.

Should be an outstanding day.
You'd be better served watching some real football rather than watching the Patriots beat up on whatever AFC East castratos they face this Sunday.

He was one of the world's great soccer players - twenty years ago. Seen any pictures of Magic Johnson recently?
