Posted on Mon Jun 30, 2008 at 11:44:11 AM EST in Other Sports We've heard of "bending it like Beckham," but this is more along the lines of "bashing it like Beckham."
Interesting, we would have never thought to spray our crotches with water after a blow like that. Of course, our shorts would have already been drenched from the moment we saw the kick coming.

As kids, if you wore glasses then you were probably going to get made fun of. That's just one of the many sad facts of childhood. However, once kids get older and mature, they realize that making insulting comments about someone's appearance is ridiculously petty...except in sports. So, here's On Deck Sports list of the Top 5 Goggled Athletes. Just get a load of these four-eyed freaks.
And let's not forget about Dwyane Wade who has the thickest set of beer goggles we've ever seen on a pro athlete. In other news... [The World of Isaac]: Vince Young fails the NBA Wonderlic Test [MensVogue.com]: Tom Brady and David Beckham are sexy. We get it already! [FanHouse]: John Daly and Kid Rock go together like cigarettes and strip clubs [MMARated.com]: Gina Carano talks about being a female badass [PostingAndToasting.com]: Renaldo Balkman's New York Knickmobile [Hugging Harry Reynolds]: Star Wars Sports, starring Eric Mangino as Jabba the Hut [YouTube.com]: Watch out, the Ax Murderer has a blade!...And he's shaving another man with it??? WTF?! And finally, skateboards finally get a small measure of revenge against humans for years of abuse.
Posted on Tue May 27, 2008 at 02:44:34 PM EST in Other Sports Over the weekend, a soccer player scored a goal from 60-yards on an open net and, of course, it had to be David Beckham.
Like him or not, that was a pretty sweet goal.
Posted on Thu Aug 16, 2007 at 12:09:11 PM EST in Other Sports So, David Beckham has official conquered America as he scored his first MLS goal on Wednesday night to lead the L.A. Galaxy to a 2-0 win over D.C. United. Everyone can breathe a collective sigh of relief now that the Barry Bondsesque anticipation has finally subsided. And if anyone needs to take a deep inhale after the historic moment, it's that crazy Spanish announcer dude who just starts screaming anytime someone kicks the ball into the net. If you can block out the annoying ESPN talking head during this clip then you'll hear exactly what we mean.
This guy has been yelling "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL" for years now, but we can't help but be impressed every time we hear it. No offense to the American commentators who called the game, but you guys totally suck butt in comparison.

David Beckham just got to America and he's already causing trouble. Apparently the California Supreme Court has banned the sale of soccer cleats that Beckham made popular because they are made from kangaroo leather. The kangaroo hide seems to make a pretty sweet shoe, but, for some reason, people are all worked up over the humane treatment of animals right now and a group of activists sued Adidas over the products. Guess the fact that endangered kangaroos are being killed for their skin isn't sitting too well with 'em. Oh, and shooting them during night hunting parties and clubbing baby joeys to death isn't helping either.
But before everyone gets hot and bothered and starts calling Beckham soccer's version of Michael Vick, just know that his Predator cleats are made with synthetic leather. So, at least we know that Beckham is consistent; he likes his wife and his shoes to be artificial.

Various newspapers around the football world (so virtually everywhere but the U.S.) are reporting that David Beckham might be regretting his decision to join the LA Galaxy for five years and $250M.
This is probably just sportswriter speculation (aka pulling a story out of you ass) but it certainly can't be pleasing to MLS and LA Galaxy officials who are basically betting the future of the league on Beckham. While there has been plenty of press on the Beckham effect -- sponsorship of MLS is up and ticket sales for Beckham games home and away are through the roof -- the implication that he is simply slumming it in a minor league for the cash isn't helping the MLS break through to become a major sport in America.
We hope that Beckham's MLS contract is iron clad because if he bails and finds a way to buy his way out of it, MLS might as well just fold up tent and start selling assets on ebay. Links: Permalink | Post A Comment | Read Comments (4 comments)

What did I say? Jim Harbaugh just got the job as Stanford's coach and he's already making enemies. Harbaugh came out and said that USC's Pete Carroll would not be with the program come next year. Pete denied the statement and fired back with the ol' "And if he has any questions about it he should call me." Sounds like we have an old fashioned feud a brewin', too bad these two won't be suiting up when their teams get together on October 6. In other news...

[BostonHerald.com]: A marathon isn't squat after going to the moon and back [Page Six]: LeBron like Karl Malone, loves big breaseses. [The Big Lead]: Carl Pavano should go hang out with LeBron now [AdFreak.com]: Christian Laettner has already ordered two boxes And for all you ladies out there, here's a story to help you sleep a little better at night.

According to a British tabloid (via the offside), the LA police are preparing a special SWAT team to be on standby during Galaxy matches in case English fans who attend his U.S. matches decide to do what English fans do, which is make NYC students look like amateurs. We're very skeptical that any sort of Beckhamania is going to touch off a slew of brawls and rioting at MLS games. Plus, the English fans won't dare riot in LA. If there's one thing LA residents know how to do, it's riot. And of course, the LA cops are experts at controlling uprisings... In other news...

And finally, anyone who has watched sports in the past five years is sick of Subway's Jared. But is that enough to challenge him to a fight? And if you could fight anyone from a commercial, who would you fight? We'd have to go with one of the two douchebags from the Cingular commercials.

The Beckhams' attempted cultural takeover of America has begun. It has been confirmed that Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice has signed a deal to star in a reality show...er... "unscripted comedy series" about the Beckhams' move to LA when David Beckham suits up for the LA Galaxy this summer. It's your standard fish out of water premise, you know, just like Fresh Prince of Bel Air but with spoiled rich white people. Hilarity ensues. Simon Fuller, creator of American Idol is set to produce and the show will be on NBC.
Why do celebrities always say their next project is going to "surprise a lot of people". Listen, it's going to surprise no one. The show will not push any boundaries. Victoria takes her kids out. Victoria goes to a Galaxy practice. Victoria goes to the spa. Victoria takes a wrong turn and ends up in a bad neighborhood in a very special episode of "Being Beckham"... We're sure America will tune in. Both the sports geeks and the starfuckers will be all over this at the get go. The question is whether it's interesting enough to outlast Bonds on Bonds.

I love me some me David Beckham made it official today and announced that he was leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season in June to join MLS' LA Galaxy. His new contract is expected to be worth $250M over 5 years. MLS has a salary cap of $2M per season but league rules allow for a "superstar exemption". Beckham issued a statement:
This is going to be a pretty tough task for Beckham. Pele played in the US at the end of his career but that didn't increase the popularity of soccer in the US. Despite a lot of criticism from English fans, Beckham can still play (he did bail them out in the Round of 16 game vs Ecuador this year despite barfing during the game). But the question is whether he'll be covered more in the tabloids or in the sports pages. We're betting tabloids.
Here's a hilarious video of Beckham and his alien wife (although she is kinda cool in this clip) being interviewed by Ali G.
