The other day we had a little tat-talk about Becks' new piece. Upon further inquest that left arm
piece is in fact a naked picture of Victoria. Not that we ever see our David on the pitch in short
sleeves but this pretty much seals it that you never will again -for the children's sake.
I asked my buddy Kevin Q, proprietor of Fat Cat Tattoos in Queens NYC for his thoughts on Becks'
bodywork and he pointed out to me that on his other arm he has Victoria's name misspelled in
Sanskrit.
This is the trouble with being rich, famous, & attractive. Women that you don't even know try to
press up on you all panini press-style everywhere you go, like the Seoul hot-spot The Circle Club
for instance.
Why would any married man subject himself to a lifetime of having to run the "trim gauntlet" on a
daily basis?
I heard a while back that our David was going to make an appearance on Sesame Street this season,
but all I knew about it was that he was alleged to have beef with Oscar the Grouch. And now that I
have seen a photo of him on-set I have more questions that I did before. Questions like, who's
hairier, Becks or Elmo?
This is how you do the ESPY's. You get your grown man on and show up looking fresh to death in a
classy suit. You show up with your lady looking even classier. You win what you are nominated
for.
This is how you don't do the ESPY's (or any other award show for that matter).
There is just to much that is not right about this photo of Becks in training at Arsenal. First
off, how much does he get paid from Adidas to endorse their products? Shed loads I presume; I also
presume that they will be less than chuffed to see him sporting the Nike swoosh with the number 23
below it like he was Michael Jordon or something.

Did you see the Lakers game last night? Cruz Beckham decided he'd put on his own half-time show and
got on some Turbo & O-Zone sh*t to the delight of the crowd/embarrassment of his father. I'm not
shocked that one of his kids is wildin' out; I would just suspect the one called Brooklyn would be
the first one to start with the poppin' & lockin'.
Here's the kinda hard thing about being David Beckham. He's an assist man --and a damn good one at
that-- and since assists don't have the same highlight reel-appeal as goals, people (myself
included) can easily get sidetracked into talking about everything but his game.
Take yesterday's Daily Mail for example where his new facial hair has called into question whether
or not he has any association with the Taliban (no chance, he's too stylish for that life).
I know. I'm shocked as you are. Presumably none of them purchase Sharpie Pens or Armani Underwear,
and certainly wouldn't deign to purchase bottled water that emanated from Goldenballs.
Just last night I had a conversation about how bad LA have looked this pre-season. From Beckham's
"Good Lord did I step in shit" facial expressions in Hawaii to the Gals absolute lack of PK
finishing in Seoul, this team has looked plain 'ol awful. Until this morning/last night (depending
on which side of the international date line reside).
Who the hell needs bodyguards when you've got Chris Klein out there doing his best, most-intimidating Jurassic Park-style velociraptor impersonations? If any of you other kids are thinking about hugging David Beckham on the fly, remember this image. You could be next.
And as my comrades in blog over at The Original Winger point out, you could also be on TMZ --possibly the only folks on the planet to ever refer to Mr.
So today there was this thing that came out in ESPN The Magazine on how Beckham is well on his way
to usurping Jack Nicholson as the Lakers number one celebrity glory-seeker. But this photo
(courtesy of TMZ) from last nights game versus Sacramento has to make you wonder; is he there for
the game or the superb view that only court side seats can obtain?
Somehow TOR has been turned into The Unofficial Soccer Blog of the ESPY Awards™ today. But
when it's midweek and the Thursday night match is Columbus v. Kansas City you gotta do something to
make it interesting. So this morning it's pic's of our Freddy on the red carpet at the ESPY's. No
idea why he was there since he wasn't nominated for anything, but hey it's an excuse to go to
parties with open bars and gift bags.
See that fresh ink? Swear to God it's only a matter of time before our kid starts looking like Mike
Ness out of Social Distortion. If tough is what he's aiming for, he's getting there.
It appears that Becks found some chair-time whilst traveling the world this off season to train
with Arsenal, visit Sierra Leone and open a new Academy in Brazil.
This is smartly funny. Highlights (if you are Japanese) of the Galaxy-Gamba Osaka match featuring
David Beckhams frustrated expressions and The Police's "Message in a Bottle". I wonder if he really
feels like there is "no one here but me oh"?

Everybody know me
It's like I'm a movie star"

Our David is finally paying the price for his "I'll endorse anything" brand of
self-promotion. Accoring to the Star --one of the nation's deepest reads-- his fish oil gig has had
some less than awesome side effects. All that catfish grease or whatever else is in these pills has
given him a mouth like a chum-bucket.
I would have sworn that the brass at this channel would still think that soccer is a communist
sport for foreigners and would broadcast a gay wedding between a black dude and an illegal
immigrant before they ever let the current MLS Jesus onto their airwaves. Crazy times.
Remember that part in Ghostbusters when dude said that the situation was "chaos, anarchy, bedlam,
and some of the worst parts of the Bible?" That's sounds frighteningly similar to the scene in
Korea when the Ruud Boyz made an appearance at the Adidas store in Seoul. Men dressed like Beckham
and women screamed like there was a free Rabbit giveaway.
If you live in Red China, buy yourself a fucking hat and get ready to hold on to it. Beckhamania
has descended on the land of the Tiger, and it's more contagious than bird flu and hotter than Kung
Pao from PF Changs. Seriously, it's so bad in Shanghai that Goldenballs himself can't face it.
Did you know that David Beckham was on Ellen today? With Goldenballs on the dancing lady's show, 60
Minutes, CNN and Leno in the last month in addition to being healthy enough to play well & score
that this is how it was supposed to be. Hopefully he and Landon can either inspire some improvement
in their teammates or get some help and make the post-season this year.
LA boss Ruud Gullit thinks that the Galaxy has a "lack of leadership." As the articles
author Graham Jones points out, "the Galaxy's 2008 roster includes U.S. national team captain
Landon Donovan, Guatemala national team captain Carlos Ruiz and former England national team
captain David Beckham.
Someone sent me this photo of the Jumbotron at Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium from last night's
Galaxy-Whitecaps match. If anyone has a photo of Ruud Gullit's mug up there I would be very
appreciative....with the "Old Dutch" advert on the top of the screen it wouldn't even
need a caption.
If you're in the market for a brand-new, second-hand automobile may I suggest that you consider
this Lamborghini Murcielago VT Coupe available at Autotrader.com. It was ordered by and custom made
for David Beckham before he left Man U for Real Madrid but he opted out of purchasing it. It's a
ride as sweet as his free kicks: powered by a 6.
From ESPN The Mag's online sister site comes news that Victoria Beckham's blood is "red".
As in descended-from-some-guy-who-was-running-buddies-with-Karl Marx "red". Jim Rome was
right; it really is a communist sport!
ESPN2 will be all Chi-town down tonight when the Galaxy comes to town to finally give us the
Becks-Landon-Lewis vs. Blanco-McBride-Mapp match that we missed out on a few weeks back. Even
though both teams haven't exactly been pissing excellence as of late (LA's result against D.C.
aside) I'm more excited to watch this than any of the CONCACAF Champions League games/ass-whippings
that were on this week.
More details have come out of the Far East about the LA Galaxy's upcoming Asian Invasion Tour ™.
As previously mentioned, the Ruud Boyz will play in Seoul on March 1st with the opposition now
confirmed as FC Seoul. The show will roll on to communist China on March 5th where they will play a
match against a Chinese Division 1 club East Asia in Shanghai.
There was a little chatter about this a few days ago but I thought I'd wait until it was official
before I started talking about it (not that rumor-status has ever stopped me before). And now that
it's official that the Galaxy will be playing an exhibition in Edmonton on May 13th I'll break my
silence and give the cash-catchers at AEG props for adding an '08 leg to the Buck for Becks World
Tour™ and returning to Canuckistan so soon.
Talk about ballin' outta control. Last night the cream of players & playas' in the American soccer,
corporate & political scene converged on NYC's Gotham Hall in aid of Harlem Youth Soccer at a
$1250-a-plate black tie affair. For that kind of cash you just know the steak was as juicy as a
Biggie classic joint.
As if FSC's MLS preview wasn't enough to keep you entertained on Sunday night, Anderson Cooper will
be profiling David Beckham on this weeks episode of 60 Minutes. Crazy right? When they hell did
Anderson Cooper leave CNN?
As far as the segment goes I'm guessing a bunch of stuff gets revealed that we may not know.
When you are a famous and beautiful person you don't have to pay for a lot of things. Which is odd
because you can actually afford to pay for things like designer jeans and court side seats to the
Lakers but they still insist on giving you them for free. So it's only fair that they have to pay
for some sort of ticket sometimes.
So I was clicking through CNN.com this a.m. to find out what happened in last night's Democratic
debate when I stumbled upon this interview with Becks. It's almost 7 minutes of some guy called
Terry Baddoo trying to conduct one of the most negative interviews you'll see all day. Seriously,
what's with people always asking questions about soccer in a negative tone, particularly when it
involves Goldenballs?
If ever there was a case for a Goal of the Week write-in, Jacob Peterson's one-time screamer
against DC United on Sunday is it. But alas there is no such option so the Super Delegate
representing the State of New Jersey is voting for David Beckham "goal A" as this week's
Goal of the Week (Goldenballs has 2 of the 5 nominated strikes).
Our David was on Jimmy Kimmel's prime time special last night, continuing his tour of America's most watched couches, love seats and plush chairs. What do we learn from his latest sit down? That he probably shouldn't be driving the kids or playing basketball with them if he can help it.
Allen Hopkins points out two things in this clip that really do make you think "WTF?".
The first is how is LA not scoring of Becks corners? Is it that he's serving up weak-sauce, his
teammates not knowing what to do with ass this good or have the league's other teams actually found
a way to stop Goldenballs?
Good thing you know the meaning of the word my dude; it's what you're going to need if you want to
make the playoffs. or beat DC United tomorrow.
They may not be as ravenous as they were this time last year, but New Zealand is still hungry for
Brand Beckham. MLS Jesus and the rest of the Galaxy touched down in hobbit country this a.m. and
the now-customary throng of fans, reporters and requisite Maori's greeted them at the airport.
Goldenballs, Russell Simmons, DMC, Kevin Garnett, Missy Elliott, The Ting Tings, Estelle, Method
Man & Redman, Mark Gonzales and more hot, Adidas-ladden flesh than I could ever handle is one hell
of a house party. Anybody know the address?
You ever spent any time in Belfast? It's a good craic for sure but it's a bit batty, heavy and sad.
So are The Belfast Beckhams.
The caption is not a swing at Beckham. His plan to benefit the local youth through scholarships to
his new Brazilian academy is totally admirable. But seriously, what does the Brazilian youth need
to learn from him aside from the obvious superb free-kick skills? Not creativity. Not ball-handling
skills.
