• 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.

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.

Although it’s only official for one game, David Beckham will be helping out with commentary tomorrow night when his 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.

We got so caught up in David Beckham’s first ever goal for the LA Galaxy, that we didn’t even care to look into the stands.

But according to SportsByBrooks, they just happened to point out that the man that was supposed to bring life to American soccer couldn’t even sell out his home stadium on his first start of the year.

There were about 17,223 in attendance Wednesday night at the Home Depot Center that can seat up to 27,000. And to top that off, it was rumored that 8,000 of those tickets were given away for free.
