Just to be clear ...

I was not the one playing footsie with the Celtics in Rome the other day (bostonherald.com):

After finishing their practice yesterday, the Celtics got a taste of what the rest of the world considers sporting greatness when Alessandro Del Piero, captain of Juventus and seven-time Italian League champion, stopped by ... Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett kicked the ball around with the player described by locals as one of the top two or three in the game. Allen showed some skill with the soccer ball, using his foot and thigh to keep it alive, and Del Piero did even better before passing to Pierce in the fairly tight circle. The captain was a little off balance as he booted the ball hard and caught Garnett in the body. It was a little too close for comfort, if you get the drift.

Ouch.
