The world "escape" is just so dramatic, even when it is not attached to a story involving
hardened criminals, mental patients or tigers from the local zoo. It is particularly dramatic when
applied to a pair of well-paid soccer players and their troubled club. Mark Zeilger brings the
Broadway.
I've remained mum on the whole Becks-A.C. Milan thing for far too long. After seeing this clip of
Fabio Capello (courtesy of Dave The Hedgehog) being treated to a lap dance on a talk show I think
he should stay; if this is they way they treat managers, God knows what kind of debauched
delicacies await Becks when he visits the Vinny Vedecci show.
Finally. I was beginning to wonder if they would ever announce the terms of Landon's loan. Seems
short --like Becks'-- to me but at least Galaxy fans might breathe a little easier knowing that
they won't be starting from scratch this season. Not that it got them anywhere last season but
still it's better than nothing.
Which is more dramatic? Becks second goal for AC MIlan --which by the way is the type of set piece
wonder he's yet to unleash in MLS -- or all the "will he stay or will he go" back and
forth between MLS, The Galaxy and the Italians?
The answer is neither: MacBecks is where the real drama is.
(UPDATE: It's half time and the score is 1-1)

the role of contrarian and say that I don't agree; this is America, even if can't really
"do" anything --even though I think it's obvious that he can still do a lot-- you can
still be famous, you can still attract endorsments and you can still draw a crowd.
