The Biggest Sports Story of 2007

Da Da Daa.... Da Da Daa!
Who's voice leads off SportsCenter tonight?

Beckham's moving to Hollywood!

Will he choose #7 or #23? I think he'll go back to #7. We're sure to find out on Friday when he's officially announced by the Galaxy.

I'm still not 100% sure I like this move for Beckham, but he's determined to make it work and try to make soccer popular in this country. I think the biggest hurdle will be getting the media to cover the sport more. MLS barely gets any press nationally and hopefully with Beckham here in SoCal and he starts producing the free kick goals and the long ball passes that we all know he can, then MLS can get some buzz and ride the wave that is David Beckham.

Most Americans know who he is....which is a good thing for MLS....I don't think he's washed up....not even close. I think he had a very good World Cup until he got hurt....his free kick skills are UNMATCHED!! Corner kick skills are great and the ability to be a leader....well....I personally thought he was good captain for England.

I wish him the best of luck and I (personally) would love to have a press pass for his first match at the Home Depot Center.

And don't forget that he brings Posh and the kids with him too!!
In other MLS news....FC Dallas are in talks with Edgar Davids. Davids is a tough player and has a "bulldog" mentality....if soccer had "enforcer players" like hockey does he would be it.
He's also one of my favorite players and I wish he would have done better at Tottenham.

Silent Star Wars

Found this on YouTube....pretty funny stuff!

This is the Season

Crosswalks

Sent from the blogberry

I'm standing here next to a twenty-something, who (NO LIE) has hit the crosswalk button 20 times....IN A ROW!!

Once the light changed I thanked her for making the light change.

(Not really but I wanted to say it)

Champions League Draw

The champions from the last two years will meet in the final 16 of the Champions League.

Liverpool drew Barcelona in the draw....Liverpool won the title two years ago and Barca won last year. The first of the two home and away matches will be at the Nou Camp in Barcelona. Should be a great match.

Here are the other matches from the draw:

FC Porto v Chelsea

Celtic v AC Milan

PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal

Lille v Manchester United

AS Roma v Lyon

Barcelona v Liverpool

Real Madrid v Bayern Munich

Inter Milan v Valencia

The first legs will be staged on Feb. 20-21 next year with the return legs on March 6-7. The final is in Athens in May.

Addictive Game

Remember that Snake game that was on your Nokia phone?

This one is just as cool and just as addicting!

Coffee and Coins Don't Mix

The wife and I went out to visit my grandparents last weekend. When we go to my grandparents we always take the toll roads. We stuck a $20 into the toll machine and we got dollar coins back.....no worries there, it's still money, right??

On the way home, the kids were asleep in the back of the car and we decided to stop off at Starbucks to get drinks.

I give her about 10 of our $1 coins and off she went into Starbucks. I stayed in the car with the kids.

When she came out, she had the funniest story.....the girl behind the counter looked at coins and then turned to another barista and said...."We take these, right?"

REALLY?? Is that even a valid question? It's U.S. tender....why wouldn't they take it?

Has our society become so dependant on plastic??

The Number 23

The Number 23 is Jim Carrey's new movie....based on this trailer, you can count me in!!

This movie looks really good!!!

All American Rejects

I really like the All American Rejects....and this video, for "Move Along" is AWESOME!

McDonald's Video Game

A few months ago, I came across this video game. If you like the Sims or other "Sim" type games, you'll get a kick outta this one.

The game itself has you running the McDonald's Corporation. From harvesting soy fields and raising and slaughtering cattle to managing a restaurant. Then to the corporate headquarters....and you have to do all four at the same time!!

It's an addicting game, to say the least. My best score is January 2015.

Fun stuff though!

Check it out!

You can downlaod it here.

NYC Children

Danny Goldfield is a New York City photographer who is working on a project (New York City Children) that has him attempting to take a photograph of at least one child from every country in the world who is actually living in New York City.

For those of you doing the math:

194 Countries....1 City

Amazing Teenager!

This video is from the CBS Early Show....from an article in People Magazine.

I don't want to give too much away....you have to watch it....but he is VERY inspirational!!

I would love to meet him AND his mother!!

McDonald's Drive Thru Song

This video is AWESOME!

Justin Timberlake gets all the chicks....

At some point though, don't ya have to just say...."PASS!"

Champions League Update

Arsenal beat FC Porto 2-0 tonight.

Goals from Henry and Hleb.

I didn't see the match, only saw highlights on Fox Sports World Report....they are looking better and better.

Just had a bad start, I guess

New Artwork

The budding artist, that is my daughter has painted two new pictures....for your review and enjoyment


This is Ariel, the Little Mermaid....next to her is an orange fish and in her hand is a human trinket.

My daughter let's me know what colors she would like me to mix and I mix them and she does the rest. Although her version of Ariel does look like Ronald McDonald's sister....I am very proud of her and her Ariel painting.

Next up we have Gabriella....she's Ariel's deaf, Latin mermaid friend. She was an original character created for the TV series.


I found out while researching the TV series on wikipedia, that Gabriella is actually based on a real child who was a big fan of the show, but had passed away.

EPL Season

The English Premiere League kicked off on August 19th. (I know, I haven't blogged in awhile....I've been busy!)

After 6 matches, my favorite team Arsenal is in 9th place with 8 points. 7 points behind the leaders Chelsea. It's early in the season, but they need to get on the stick and start winning some matches and getting some points! (photo from Getty Images)
