This would be sweet: The Vatican may field a football team
One of the cardinals, Tarcisio Bertone, mentioned the possibility of the Vatican fielding a football team that could be as good as some of the top teams in Serie A. I think that would be pretty cool.They are, of course, talking about what we Americans call soccer. It would be even better if they put together an American football team, but alas, I don't see that happening.

Oh man, no there's not question about for whom the Pope will be rooting! This is an incredible development in the wide, wide world of sports!
Oh, come on, Jeremy. Rest-of-the-world football is astronomically better than American football. Everyone knows that.
Regardless of whether American football is better or worse than other football, you have to admit it still would be awesome to see cardinals and (in my fantasies) the pope laying the smackdown in a very physical manner on opposing teams. I can just see Benedict giving a straight-arm to a defensive player as he returns the punt for a touchdown. That's what I meant.
All right; I'll accede to that. =D
