Let's Get Off Sisters. Cuz I Just Got Off Yours

It's common knowledge. You don't talk about a guy's mom or his sister. Unless, of course, you're playing the dozens with Truecraig on a street corner after a night of heavy drinking.

And, coming from the most mamma-lovin country around, Italian soccer player Marco Materazzi shoulda known better, as well.

Apparently, during the World Cup final, after Zinedine Zidane taunted him by saying that he would give the Italian his jersey (on which Materazzi was tugging) after the game if he wanted it so badly, Materazzi responded by saying something to the effect of, preferirei tua sorella. Roughly translated: "I'd rather have your sister."

Woops!

That'll get ya a head butt every time.

Materazzi has said that he did not even know that Zidane had a sister; he was just doing a little trash talking. He said he would not apologize to Zidane, but admitted he may owe an apology to the world class footballer's sister. He said he'd give it to her over a glass of Prosecco at his villa on Lake Cuomo. Oh no he didint. OK, he didn't. But he said Zidane knows where to find him if he wants to hash things out: Friendster.it
