Wayne Rooney Just Became a Napoli Fan

Oscar-winning actress Sofia Loren announced that she will do a striptease if her favorite football club, Napoli, gets promoted from Serie B to Serie A.

Sofia Loren is 72 years old. Someone went back in time, told young Sofia Loren about this, then took the photograph you see here.

This would have been a fantastic piece of news if it had happened about, oh, four decades ago, maybe even three. Loren has held up very well, but honestly, I’m in no hurry to see a 72-year-old woman take her clothes off, even if you could have built mountains around her in 1953. On the other hand, I’m certain that Sofia Loren will be a hot topic on Pardon the Interruption this week. Tony Kornheiser will be all over this like a bad Uranus pun…

    Well, like Lady Godiva, we are probably not supposed to look!

    Seriously, though, Napoli getting back up to Serie A would be fantastic. With or without an accompanying striptease.
