Pirlo is officially the biggest troll in soccer history

It is not like he has to be in NYC to be announced.

Garber was asked about Pirlo yesterday at the Derby press conference.

Pirlo is the most everything in soccer history. He is the Chuck Norris of soccer. He might even be more Chuck Norris than Chuck Norris.

I heard that one time Pirlo's house was a little stuffy, so Pirlo free-kicked a ball through a wall for better ventilation.

 

[juventuz]

Well, he already turns off the lights in his place with a simple kick

I heard that Pirlo has a trademark, patent and copyright on his beard.

Sounds like there is some serious talking going on between Pirlo & NYCFC.

Here we go.

I heard the God Particle was supposed to be called the Pirlo Particle but the scientists wanted to leave room for the use of Pirlo's name for bigger future discoveries.

It is now noon and no announcement has been made yet....Dan I hope your source is ready to invade the pitch on Sunday

 

[Gotham Gator]

Yep. There may not be much left on the table, but it doesn't sound like there is a deal yet. Maybe it's that option for 2017. Maybe it's the start date. Maybe Pirlo wanted to go to Miami to think about it and that's slowed things down.

They'll get it done.

Pirlo knows the status of Schrodinger's cat without opening the box.

Somewhat more hopeful take: the deal is done but The Don and ESPN pressured NYC to make the announcement on TV Sunday.

I've been curious about this supposed option snag for 2017. Does Pirlo want the option to opt out or is it the team...my guess Pirlo wants the 2 1/2 years.

 

[BxLio91]

Maybe he's presented at half time.

This would make more sense if he was actually in town to be at the game. I don't know if it's different when you're that rich, but I probably wouldn't go to Miami on a Thursday if I knew I needed to be back in New York by Sunday morning.

Mix was in Cabo Monday but I saw him last night in Brooklyn...

*Edit*

And rang the NASDAQ closing bell on Wednesday.

Yes. Yes it is.

Pirlo knpws the status of Schrodinger's cat without opening the box.

Pirlo opened up Pandora's box, examined the contents, put everything back in, and closed the box.

Would be awesome if Pirlos signing was announced during Sunday's game!
