Playing for Pizza, but Eating Hot Dogs

Yesterday we went to the Catania Elephants game. They are an American football team a la the Parma Panthers, if you have read the book. The rules require the team to be made up of Italians and they are allowed 2-3 Americans/Europeans. It was quite funny to watch. Catania is really bad and any decent high school team could probably beat them. In their defense, they made it to the semi-finals last year. We fired up the grill and cooked some dogs and had a good time. Some Americans have put together a cheer-leading squad and an Italian rock band covered songs during half time. Check out the Italian chick doing Axel Rose in the video. All in all, a good time.
