Jay Mariotti’s Well-Shaped Eyebrows have cousins in Europe

Those well-shaped eurobrows belong to Jose Enrique, the newest member of Newcastle United’s reworked backfield.
In other Magpie news, everything is going as planned. The green is in great shape, they’ve put a fresh coat of paint on the stadium, and Michael Owen is hurt. So, now the season is officially ready to begin.
Barcelona has come out and publicly stated that the club is not interested in selfish twit and overrated shottaker, Frank Lampard. Meanwhile, Handsome Frank’s agent denied that his client rejected an offer to make him the highest-paid player on the Blues. Negotiations can be rough on both sides, but the crap he pulled last month when he was publicly and sincerely saddened that Chelsea didn’t love him enough was sickening.
At the same time as the Lampard negotiations, Lampard’s midfield partner is ailing and trying to deny rumors of a move to Real Madrid. Michael Ballack may want to stay, but after getting offseason ankle surgery without telling the club – and then missing the club’s muy importante American public relations tour because the surgery was botched – Chelsea could kill three birds with one stone if they did ship him out: 1) make a lot of money on a player they didn’t pay for, 2) soothe Frank’s ego, and 3) free up money to bring in Danny Alves.
Meanwhile, homeless people are playing a lot more soccer in America than David Beckham these days.
