EPISODE 270. Sabino and Rocco sit down with New York Giants Linebacker Habakkuk Baldonado. The three talk about Haba’s upbringing in Rome, how his love for football came about, what it was like moving from Rome to Florida, then Pittsburgh and now New York, differences in Italy and America, and how he’s one of very few Native Italians to make it into the NFL.

Franco Harris was the first. Also Pitt
Wow what an amazing story. We got a pro footballer. Let's Go. Reminds me of Kobe Bryant's story growing up in Italia. Salute.
i need to meet this guy im just like him
I wish him all the best. But he forgot to tell you that if it were not for the Lazio Marines which are part of the Societa Sportiva LAZIO which is the largest in the world and incorporates more than 80 different activities,ten of which are in Serie A, today he'd pro bably be doing something else. As Roma has only soccer. Just for the record, SS Lazio was founded in Rome in Jan 9 1900 while the other team was founded 27 years later in Abruzzo and till this day they still don't know on what date. So let's say calling Lazio fans "pecorari" is a bit false and unprofessional. PS. LAZIO fans are called Laziali and not laziesi .
Grande! Grew up in a fancy neighborhood… cool guy.
QUANDO HA DETTO PECORARI 😂😂😂😂😂 HO ADORATO😂😂😂
