Are you ready for some Futbol?

The next time you want to criticize a wide receiver for some stupid end-zone celebration -- which is not to suggest that you should ever stop criticizing wide receivers for stupid end-zone celebrations -- remember that athletes in other sports can be equally as foolish:
Welcome to the Real Madrid zoo. Several Brazilian players on the traditional Spanish soccer power have taken to celebrating goals by imitating creatures -- a cockroach, frog and horse, in particular -- and the displays aren't going over well with teammates and opponents. Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and Julio Baptista have scored six of Madrid's seven goals in recent league victories over Alaves and Mallorca and, together with Robinho, have put on the shows.
This could, however, lead to the first case of a pro athlete literally acting like a horse's ass on the playing field.
