An Italian soccer team has fired their falconer for posting a penis pic online. Was he just flaunting his new enhancement surgery?

Lazio will no be without their falconer as he has been fired after reportedly posting a penis pic online. The team reportedly relieved 56-year-old Juan Bernabe of his duties after 15 yeas on the job. Bernabe doesn’t seem to regret his decision and is defending himself by saying that in Italy “nudity is normal,” per The New York Post. Will that be a good enough defense to get him out of trouble? I highly doubt that.

Did An Italian Soccer Team Fire Its Falconer For Posting A Penis Pic Online?

Reports say Bernabe shared the penis pic on his Instagram account following penis enhancement surgery. In a statement, Lazio tells The New York Post, “We, and the historic symbol of the eagle, can no longer be associated with a person who with his behavior has made the continuation of any relationship impossible.” He apparently hasn’t been shy about his procedure and is showing no regret for sharing the penis pic on social media.

During a radio show appearance, Bernabe said, “I’ve never regretted anything, let alone doing something that has a medical purpose. For me, nudity is normal. I grew up in an open-minded family of naturists. I don’t understand what’s pornographic about the photo,” per The New York Post. He claims the procedure has increased his sexual performance and he is very active sexually. Good to know.

This, however, is not the first time that his behavior has gotten him in trouble. According to The New York Post, he was suspended by Lazio back in 2021 after being filmed doing a fascist salute after a match with Inter Milan and doing a chant made famous by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, whom he seems to be a fan of. The ex-falconer has previously made comments about admiring the former dictator and that working for Lazio was an honor that made him feel more masculine, per The New York Post. Men and their fragile egos.

You would think after getting caught sharing a penis pic online that you would show remorse or regret for your actions but that does not seem to be the case here. He seems pretty proud of what he did and isn’t taking it back at all. That must have been some pretty impressive enhancement surgery. If you’re a trained falconer, you might have a job opportunity waiting for you in Italy!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Of The Best Football Movies Of All-Time

What are the best football movies of all-time? We came up with a list of 5 of our favorites, did yours make the list?

There are no shortage of excellent movies that are about football. There are classics, new movies, comedies, and dramas all about football. However, what are the best football movies of all-time?

What Are The Best Football Movies Of All-Time?

Football season is quickly coming up! I’m already picturing Sundays in front of the TV with my gameday snacks and no plans for the entire day but watching some games and placing some bets. We’re only a few months away from the start of the 2024-2025 NFL season!

To celebrate, we came up with a list of 5 of the best football movies of all-time. Of course, only picking 5 meant that some great football movies were being left on the cutting room floor. They couldn’t all end up making the list. Recently, we also made lists of the Best Baseball Movies for the MLB season and the Best Basketball Movies during the NBA season. Make sure to come back to check out these lists after you see the list of the best football movies of all-time.

Do you have a football movie in mind? Hopefully it ended up making the list! For this list, I decided to try to make it the best of the best when it comes to football movies. I didn’t want this to be my personal list of favorite football movies, so I tried to think of what most people would consider to be the best. Did some of my personal favorites slip through the cracks? Probably. However, I did my best to remain totally unbiased.

Unfortunately, some great movies didn’t make the cut. I didn’t include Friday Night Lights because I thought the show was better than the movie. Little Giants is one of my personal favorites but I didn’t think it was good enough to earn a spot on the list. Radio is another great movie that you won’t find on the list. Jerry Maguire is a great movie but football wasn’t a big enough part of the movie for it to be considered a “football movie,” in my opinion. Are they great movies! Absolutely! They just didn’t make this list.

Ready to check out the list? Let us know if we missed your favorite football movie if it didn’t end up on the list! See our list of 5 of the best football movies of all-time below!

5 Of The Best Football Movies Of All-Time

  • Remember The Titans

    Remember The Titans is my favorite football movie and I think it’s arguably the best of all-time. It has everything you’d want in a football game! There’s leadership, quality football, there’s comedy, the story is great, you care about the characters–it’s excellent from start to finish. There are so many great quotes in the movie. It’s also very relatable to anyone who played football and grew up playing the game while addressing racial issues at the time.

  • Any Given Sunday

    Is Any Given Sunday my favorite football movie? No, it definitely is not. Is it in my personal Top 10? Honestly, I doubt it. However, you can’t argue it’s one of the best football movies of all-time. You got great performances from Al Pacino, Dennis Quaid, Jamie Foxx, and Cameron Diaz. They were all perfect in their roles and the movie was well cast. You simply can’t discuss football movies without bringing up Any Given Sunday. It deserves a spot on the list.

  • The Waterboy

    I know I said I wasn’t going to let any personal biases affect the list, but this might be the one exception. We had to have The Waterboy on the list! It’s probably the football movie I’ve seen the most times. It has to be the funniest movie about football, right? Sure, The Longest Yard is good, but it doesn’t hold a candle to The Waterboy. Do you agree?

  • The Replacements

    The Replacements had a great cast with Keanu Reeves, Gene Hackman, Brooke Langton, and Jon Favreau. The movie came out in 2000 and has been considered one of the best football movies ever sense. Again, it’s not my personal favorite but I can’t deny it a spot on the list because I don’t like it. However, if another movie were to be added I will admit it would probably take The Replacements place. It would be the replacement…pun not intended but pretty cool how that worked out!

  • Rudy

    You were waiting for this one weren’t you? Thinking it might not make the list? Of course Rudy is going to make the list of the best football movies of all-time. I’d bet most would consider it to be the greatest football movie of all-time. It’s often synonymous with football movies. It’s a timeless classic that will live on for many more generations.
