A couple of funny things to think about: 1. Beckham didn't play much because of a swollen ankle and the possibility of injuring it further (and mostly because he's worth millions to the MLS). On the other side, John Terry (playing for Chelsea) had a BROKEN TOE. He played the whole game with a BROKEN TOE. That's not <i>sort</i> of an injury, that's a real injury! 2. Given all the Bechhamania in the MLS since he's come over to this side of the pond, there are a few other "Beckham Rule" stars who are doing better than the man himself: Juan Pablo Angel scored the first strike against Celtic FC just a week ago, and Cuauhtemoc Blanco, who just joined the Chicago Fire, scored on his first day on the pitch (he's making the second-highest salary in the MLS, right behind Becks). 3. Posh Spice used to be the second best looking Spice Girl. I don't know what happened to her head. Now she looks like an alien who married a soccer player. 4. David Beckham might represent the greatest mismatch between physical appearance and voice that has ever existed in a human, with the possible exception of Cee-Lo from Gnarles Barkeley. Looking at Becks, you just don't expect his voice to sound the way it does. Every time, it screws up my brain. Great post, as always. A couple of funny things to think about:
