    Weekend Recap: Boos for Beckham

    It was kind of a slow weekend for sports as 3 of the 4 major sports (NFL, NBA, NHl) are in their off-seasons and Tiger Woods didn’t make the cut at the British Open.  The NBA is having the summer league but most of the players playing don’t have a real shot at playing in the NBA so the games aren’t too interesting.  Soccer had some interesting games though, with the U.S. playing in the Gold Cup and top European clubs (Chelsea, Inter Milan, AC Milan) coming to the states to play exhibitions.  The biggest game though may have been David Beckham’s first home game since his return.  Let’s just say it wasn’t a warm welcoming!  Beckham was greeted with boos from the home crowd with some holding up anti-Beckham signs.  Beckham even got into it with a fan that he said “went too far” motioning him to come down from his seat and do something.  The fan jumped down and security quickly grabbed him ending the confrontation. Even with all the boos and signs Beckham still thanked the fans when he came out of the game and after said that it was only a few that went over the line.  He actually played a pretty good game assisting on two goals in the 2 -2 tie with Italian soccer power AC Milan, the team Beckham was loaned out to.  It’s safe to say that home games for the rest of the season are going to be a circus.  Maybe Becks solid play will win the fans back.

    In golf, the British Open had a pretty good story going on, even with Tiger Woods being out before Saturday.  59-year old Tom Watson was trying to become the oldest champion ever and win his 6th British Open.  It was pretty unbelievable to watch as he kept hitting good shot after good shot to lead the field.  On the last hole, Watson needed a birdie for the win.  He made it on the green with a very make able birdie putt but missed short forcing a 4-hole play-off with Stewart Cink.  By this time fatigue and the pressure of the situation had to be setting in for older Watson.  And it showed in the play-off as his shots weren’t as crisp as they were all week bogeying three of the four holes.  Cink on the other hand came up with three birdies to take the championship and steal the storybook ending for Watson.  It was still fun to watch the last round and play-off.  Part of me wishes that Watson could have won but on the other hand Cink deserves to get the win also.  He was asked a question after if he “felt like the villain in the movies that comes in at the end and steals the girl away from the main character.”  He responded laughing and said jokingly, “as long as I get the girl” and that he did.

    David Beckham Leaves a $900 Tip

    David Beckham leaves a $900 tip.

    It seems like we write more about David Beckham’s efforts off the field than what he does on it, but this one can’t go unnoticed.

    After a charity game last November where Beckham and the LA Galaxy played against Hollywood United F.C., the team decided to stop by this bar in Culver City for a few drinks. Beckham picks up the tab, which was around $100, and leaves $1,000. A $900 tip! A pretty generous offer, especially since it helped the waitress fix her car and her teeth.

    Of course this is just chunk change for David. Can you imagine how much it costs him to keep his wife happy? I bet it’s way more than $900.

    David Beckham Named Manliest Man of ‘07 by AskMen.com

    Yes, that man you see above was voted by the readers of AskMen.com as the Manliest Man of 2007.

    Yes, David Beckham beat out other “manlier” men such as and Peyton Manning (16) and LaDainian Tomlinson (41). Don’t ask me how it happened, sometimes it’s just the way the cards are dealt.

    But something tells me that out of the 1 million voters who voted on AskMen.com, 999,999 were women. The lone vote being David.

    Yes, we know it was you. Your gig is up!

    Anyways, I guess congratulations.

    David Beckham to Join the Announcing Booth

    Although it’s only official for one game, David Beckham will be helping out with commentary tomorrow night when hisDavid Beckham team, the Los Angeles Galaxy take on Chivas USA in ESPN’s MLS Primetime Thursday match.

    First ESPN tells us that they’re going to bring on a 10 year-old to help out with NFL Sunday Countdown and now their bringing on Beckham to help bring in the viewers. Looks like they’re pulling out all the stops to get this guy on camera since we know he isn’t going to be on the field anytime soon with his injured knee.

    Anyways, if you’re at all interested, the game airs at 11 p.m. ET on ESPN.
