It's a strange feeling at the passing of a pope who is no longer a pope. The instinct tells you that we are supposed to have a conclave, and then you realize that we've already had one.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has revealed FIFA will ask every country in the world to name a stadium after Pele following his death last week.

After that, Infantino will ask every country in the world to deposit One Million US Dollars into Infantino's personal secret Swiss bank account.


Then Fred Wilpon will ask the King of the Planet Earth to rename the planet after Jackie Robinson.

Gimme a break.
