A TRIBUTE TO THE RAT-TAIL

Don't ask me why and don't ask me how. It just happened and it felt right so i rolled with it.  It was said best by Garth Algar, "Its kinda like a new pair of underwear, at first its constricting but soon it becomes of part of you..."
Despite the reason or motivation there is definitely an unseen power in the rat-tail, mojo, or swagga if you will. Lets take a look at some of the the more recognizable rat-tails in the world:
Roberto Baggio
I can't really say enough about Roberto Baggio, if you wanna see what he was capable of just check out a couple Youtube videos, one of the things i remember the most is when he would chip the ball up into the hand of the defender to draw a penalty kick. Who even thinks of that??? This tail is far beyond mine and is know as the Divin Codino, or the Divine Rat-Tail. Extra Dope

Rodrigo Palacio
This Argentine playing in the Seria A has pretty much been on a tear the last couple seasons.  Unfortunately he has started loosing hair due to an excess of mojo, aka manjuice, but the rat-tail is still going strong, dangling in the face of defenders as he passes them and flowing behind him in the wind as he celebrates his goals.
