Peter Nowak says, "I think we have been working on some really good stuff in Florida. Now it's
just a matter of improving. Now it's working on fitness, formations and getting guys ready for the
season. Because of the Olympic qualifiers, it's kind of hard to determine what our set lineup with
will be.

Allen Iverson was known for scoring a lot of points on the basketball court and for wearing a
lot of bling during his time away from the game. Today, he no longer plays basketball
professionally and his bling has him in trouble.
A judge in Georgia has decided to allow a jeweler to take money straight out of Iverson's bank
account at Wells Fargo.
So, a few weeks ago, the Portuguese federation banned Ricardo Carvahlo for a year because he
skipped out on a national team practice. A pretty harsh punishment, right? If Allen Iverson, the
former NBA player, had been dealt with accordingly, he would be serving his ban up until just
before the successful colonization of Mars.
[Editor's note: While I cannot say that I heard the language that
Espindola reportedly used, I was only a row up from where he flipped off fans. Despite my best
efforts, no video or pictures are currently in my possession to use for this article. If any do
come about I will update with them.]
At halftime of the Philadelphia Union's 1-1 draw on Saturday, frustrated Real Salt Lake striker
Fabian Espindola lost his composure and made an unprofessional 'salute' to the Sons of Ben in the
River End on his way to the away team locker room.
From the makers of the original Breakfast of Champions comes the latest hot video remix
from DJ Steve Porter, the creator of the famous Allen Iverson-Steve Mora "Practice/Playoffs" Press
Hop mash-up.
The video, "Got My Own Spoons," stars Peyton Manning, Kevin Garnett, Albert Pujols, Bryan Clay
and Hunter Kemper, all of whom helped in developing the Wheaties Fuel brand, the next generation in
the cereal made by and especially for athletes.
Is David Beckham injured? Is that why he missed the Galaxy's match at Philadelphia on
Wednesday?
Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said Beckham was left behind to rest up his aging body. Beckham of course
just turned 36 years and has logged a lot of air miles this year already, what with having spent
the first part of 2011 training with Tottenham and having participated in the Royal Wedding at the
end of April.
