19 year old Brazilian Kerlon Moura Souza is the favorite to inherit the famed #10 shirt for Brazil one day. The Cruzeiro midfielder has been linked with the usual suspects (Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United).

During an interview with James Brown for HBO’s “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel,” Donovan McNabb stressed that African-American quarterbacks faced more criticism than white quarterbacks. McNabb stated, “There’s not that many African-American quarterbacks, so we have to do a little bit extra.” When asked if Carson Palmer and Peyton Manning did not also face the [...]
