I had never met anyone named Breno before catching up with Packers rookie offensive lineman Breno Giacomini.  I had also never met anyone that, to my knowledge, had flipped the bird to the crowd at the University of Kentucky while wearing a University of Louisville football uniform.  Giacomini seems only mildly remorseful for that gesture, which was actually a two-handed gesture.  This is a guy who thought his future was in basketball, so he didn't play high school football for a year in suburban Boston to work on his hoops.  He's also a guy with a large family of Brazilian descent who just happens to have an Italian surname.  This guy is one of a kind in many ways.
