An interview Cristiano Ronaldo gave back in August was released last Sunday. In it Ronaldo does nothing less than state that he believes he is better than Lionel Messi, the player widely accepted to be the best in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo has already been established as a giving person, and that perception was reestablished when he sent a signed Real Madrid Jersey to Andres Moreno.
We should explain. Andres Moreno tips the scales at about 960 lbs., and is considered the most obese man in the world. He's not taken to kindly to that title, though, and is trying to lose weight.
Moreno recently underwent weight-loss surgery to kick-start that process, and received a surprise gift after the first procedure was successful: a signed Cristiano Ronaldo jersey.
Cristiano Ronaldo has a new pair of boots coming out, and, consequently, Nike and Ronaldo are really ramping up the advertising campaign. The Nike Mercurial Superfly was supposedly inspired by Ronaldo's home island in Portugal, Madeira, as this video shows.
What troubles us is the phrase "these boots have goals." We don't know what it means. It could mean any number of things.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the boss. He is the boss of you. He is the boss of your boss. He is the boss of everyone, with the possible exception of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is also the boss.
What makes a man the boss of everyone? Owning a $320,000 car and sitting on it like it's no big deal.
Legendary Arsenal striker Thierry Henry once said that he would have his son study Thomas Muller, should his son take to football as a passion. It was interesting, because one would think that he would have had his son study one of the two best players in the world: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. Henry’s logic was that, while he admires Ronaldo and Messi, they are freaks of nature, inimitable.
It's been speculated that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave the comforts of Real Madrid for the MLS when his contract is up in 2015, but the 30-year-old striker has admitted to having different plans.
“I want to win more. I still feel good, I feel young,” he told Marca. “I am 30 and I want to play five or six more years, and in that time I want to do things right and maintain the level of recent seasons. I know that it gets harder all the time, but in my head I think it’s possible."
Many small children, like Cristiano Ronaldo's son, as a consequence of having been able to talk for only a very short time, have speech impediments. The vast majority of these children grow out of it (and if they don't there is nothing wrong with that) and grow up to be adults whose parents show them videos of them trying to talk as a small child and everybody has a good laugh.
One such occasion occurred recently in Cristiano Ronaldo's life. A leaked portion of his new documentary shows his son, Cristiano Jr., trying, and struggling, to say his own name at his father's request.
Cristiano Ronaldo just scored the 500th goal of his career. He has scored it during Real Madrid’s match against Valencia.
500 - Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his 500th goal in his professional career (club and country). Proclaimer.

"Senna" is one of the best sports documentaries we've seen. It holds its own in a genre that's been increasingly crowded with quality films, especially since the launch of ESPN's 30 for 30 series.
Ostensibly, "Senna" has very little to do with Cristiano Ronaldo, but that's about to change. The team behind "Senna" has produced a documentary about the Portuguese superstar that looks at the life of one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, and how he got to be one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo transfer speculation is rife again even though the transfer window only closed at the start of September and Real Madrid won’t release the world’s No. 1 footballer until next summer (at the earliest).
As befits a player of his caliber, Ronaldo is being most closely linked with two mega-rich clubs: his former team, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain.
