By Laurie | May 5th, 2008I got busy today and didn't get a chance to post this earlier, but there's no time like the present. Go vote for David's goal! They're both nominated, which is not necessarily a good thing. The vote is getting split between Goal A and Goal B. B ...

The Austrian Beckham Sinks AEK Athens
By chris | May 1st, 2008You just knew something like this would happen. After AEK was "stripped" of its title unjustly because the worst team in the league fielded an ineligible player against big, bad Olympiacos, they were forced into a European spot playoff (much like ...

Galaxy 2-2 Houston. Is Franchino the Missing Link?
By Laurie | April 19th, 2008So is Joey Franchino the missing link? (Read that however you want.) You know how I've said that previously I just wasn't convinced by our central midfield? I'm thinking there's a possibility that this could be the answer. Maybe Alexi was r ...

Beckham & The Mrs. Interviewed By Da Ali G
By chris | March 27th, 2008I'm no fan of Beckhamania, as you can tell by today's Pic of the Day, but with Laurie on vacation, I would be terribly remiss if I didn't post a completely inappropriate, utterly hilarious video of Da Ali G interviewing the Beckhams a few years b ...

Beckham Fed up and Ready to Leave MLS? Oh, Please
By Laurie | March 15th, 2008This has been showing up in news items from all over the world. (And I find it interesting how often things like this show up in Asia first. Do Asian media companies have direct lines into Beckham's brain or what?) This one, though, is showing up in
Beckham is a Good Guy (and a Good Tipper)
By Laurie | March 12th, 2008I spotted this over on Sideline Views. She spotted it over on DeRober. (Which, for the record, does have photos of scantily clad women on it. I'll let you decide whether this fact persuades or dissuades.) I'll let you read it on the DeRober site,
Sharpie and Becks. Because...yeah.
By Laurie | March 11th, 2008It's not Armani undies. David Beckham's latest endorsement is so logical yet so...so...not Beckham...that it kind of makes you nod. While scratching your head. Seems he's been hired on as the new spokesmodel for...are you ready for this? Sharp
Post-Game Thoughts on the Seoul-Galaxy Game
By Laurie | March 2nd, 2008First off. Umm... Penalties?!?! Did anybody else who was watching the game know that we went to penalties after drawing in regulation time? Did they show it on TV? Did they say anything about it? I know my brain is fuzzy at 1:30 in the morning,
Beckham-Bashing at the LA Times
By Laurie | February 13th, 2008Wow. Can you blame the Galaxy for not turning Beckham over to this guy? He's upset over the fact that he wasn't granted an exclusive interview with Becks. Sample: "THE ONLY thing going on with Beckham these days appears to be his underwear ad, w
Galaxy Schedule Another Meaningless Money-Making Friendly
By Laurie | February 11th, 2008
Let's go back to that schedule post for a second. Anybody notice anything different from last year? How about...balance? How about spread out games? How about no more than five matches in any one month? After last year's backloaded schedule, doe

By Laurie | February 3rd, 2008So I go to log in on AOL yesterday, and look what shows up on my screen. First thing, before I can even check my e-mail. He's everywhere, folks. There is no escape. Beckham IS the Borg.
