The Phenom wins one for us fat guys ...
The Folha de S.Paulo reports: Ronaldo the Fat is now Ronaldo the Phat — or Ronaldo the Phenom, if you like.
Graças aos pés de Ronaldo, o Corinthians está prestes a colocar as mãos no Paulista.
Thanks to Ronaldo’s feet, Corinthians is about to get its hands on the São Paulo state championship cup.
I am perfectly aware that spectator sports as mass spectacle is a plot to sublimate the revolutionary energies of the masses, but even so, I got a kick (so to speak) out of watching The Phat shine in a 3-1 defeat of Santos yesterday.
There is a nice little article in Joyce Pascowitch Poder magazine about the lonely, arduous rehab the player faced after a second unusual injury to the patellar tendon.
(Also profiled in this issue: Judge Fausto de Sanctis of Dantas’ Inferno fame — flippantly interviewed by the iffy Claudio Tognolli — and Minas Gerais governor Aecio Neves.)
I could use the inspiration. I am rehabbing a partially torn Achilles myself. It sucks when the laws of physics get the better of your physical constitution.
