[Remember The Alomar]

My god, he's become a caricature of himself.

I know there aren't many soccer fans on the OH--and probably even fewer who care about Balotelli. That being said, I find him the most fascinating figure in all of sports. I can't tell if he's insane, stupid, or genius.

Discuss.

The guy goes and sets his bathroom on fire...then scores twice against ManU in the derby.

Love him or hate him, the kid is fascinating. I'm starting to see all the hype, he's got loads of talent. If only he didn't have the brains of a 5-year old.

Wow. 6-1 City at Old Trafford.

Wow. 6-1 City at Old Trafford.

Really a scorcher. Surprising to say the least.

Here I thought you were taking about the fat Iron Chef that wears Crocs all the time.

I think he is a genius, pure genius. Not a bad footballer either.

His shirt display had me cracking up- candidate for moment of the season.

I wish the Orioles had someone as entertaining as him.

Agreed. He is the good version of Chad Johnson, where he is the better player and much funnier in his nonchalant manner.

Chad Johnson tries too hard to be funny. Balotelli is naturally an idiot, which makes him hilarious.

Within days of joining Manchester City, Balotelli was involved in a car crash.[65] It was reported that Balotelli was carrying £5000 cash to which a police officer queried why with Balotelli replying: "Because I am rich".[66] Off field activities which have been reported include driving into a women's prison in Italy[67], confronting a bully in a school after querying why a young City fan was not at school[68], giving £1000 to a homeless man on the streets of Manchester[69] and throwing darts in a undue manner during a training ground 'prank'.[70] In recognition of this, Manchester City supporters often serenade a song with lyrics referring to his antics.[71]

So true about Chad. As for Balotelli, he's not just an idiot. He's either the worlds dumbest person, or a comedic genius.

Either way, he's pretty good at soccer.

I'll tell ya what, the kid is lucky he has Mancini as a manager. That guy has so much patience.

Also, he's probably lucky he's not the biggest problem at ManCity (Tevez...)
