IT’S HARD OUT THERE FOR A BULGARIAN
10.31.06
Up-and-coming Bulgarian soccer star Ivelin Popov has been ordered by his club, Livex Lotech, to get married in the next year in order to curb his wild lifestyle. I am not fucking with you. This is true.
Popov, …who turned 19 this week, …is known for his countless girlfriends and volatile temper and upset the Litex fans on Friday when he made a gesture towards them after scoring in a 2-1 victory.
What does Popov think about this?
"I accept the order and I promise to do it. My bosses are right to want such a thing from me because they know my temper."
Frankly, all of this sounds like extremely sound logic to me. But then I'm the one who put my penis in the toaster this morning, so take that with a grain of salt. What? It looked warm and inviting, that's why.

“I know I’m a very bad boy and I want to meet my 20th birthday as a married man.”
That line makes me think either “bad translation” or “sub.”
C’mon! Let a playa play!!
Nineteen in dog years, maybe. Look at that photo! Also, I can think of several US professional athletes who hope this doesn’t become a trend, although possibly not for the same reason as Popov (Brady Quinn and Chris Simms, I’m looking at you).
