"Bring it On" Kind of Day
OK, it's old news, but it still has soccer fans buzzing. Video of Zinedine Zidane, the French player thrown out of Sunday's World Cup finals for head-butting Italian player Marco Materazzi, is today's most-shared link (via YouTube.com) among bloggers bloggers, and Zidane himself worked his way to No. 2 spot on the list of most-blogged-about people. Lots of the discussion is understandably in French. He was thrown out of the game, but won the equivalent of the best player award. Go figure. The BBC's coverage of the incident is today's No. 3 most-cited news story.
If it works in sports...
Seems that "bring it on," in-your-face head-butting attitude is apparent elsewhere, as the conservative PowerLine blog (today's No. 20 top blog post) passes along a new "Kill, Don't Capture" kind of thinking for the war on terror. (Obviously, it's the kind of thinking that puts us in such great stead with our allies?).
