Adriano: The face of crack

Dirty Tackle 04 November @ 01:22 PM EST

Now that Adriano is back in Rio de Janeiro and is the top scorer in the Brazilian championship with Flamengo, he's so popular that his picture is even selling packets of drugs.

Welcome back, football fans. For the moment, I'm temporarily suspending my feud with ESPN.

It does appear that ESPN has posted it's schedule for the weekend with days to spare for a change, for what it's worth given the few games being broadcast, so those matches are included below.
