When David Beckham left Real Madrid five years ago for what was billed as a "million-dollar-a-week" deal with the L.A. Galaxy, he said that he had two goals: He wanted to win an MLS championship, and he wanted to use his name to help raise the league's profile. More »

David and Victoria Beckham have welcomed to the world the sixth member of their family, their fourth child and first daughter: Harper Seven. In terms of bizarre athlete baby names, this one ranks somewhere between George Foreman III and George Foreman IV. Everyone's trying to come up with an explanation: 7 was one of a few kit numbers Becks has worn in his career, and there's the legendary Seinfeld episode too.

English soccer clubs sometimes play "testimonials," in which they bring back their older stars for a friendly match of former rivals. Like parades or bowling parties, it's a nice way to make the old folk feel appreciated for still being around. Yesterday, with Man United playing Juventus in the Gary Neville Testimonial, 36-year-old not-quite-has-been David Beckham showed his worth by capturing a young fan who'd run onto the pitch and then delivering a trademark corner kick as the kid got cuffed behind him.

Only in San Francisco will you find a 100-foot poster of David Beckham in his underpants: A new, proud landmark here to rival the Golden Gate Bridge, the Transamerica Pyramid and Coit Tower. But unlike the latter two, which are clearly all natural, certain portions of Beckham's gigantic likeness may have been, well, enhanced. The Daily Mail of London picks up the investigation. More »

• The Lakers still have a shot at catching the Hornets for the top spot in the Western Conference, and they came out playing like a team that wants homecourt advantage. LA outscored New Orleans 39-20 in the first quarter before the Hornets tenacious second half comeback. However, the Lakers persevered down the stretch en route to a 107-104 win. Chris Paul put up a ridiculous 15/17/5/4 line and Peja filled it up, but they couldn't match the output of Kobe, Pau, and Lamar. The Laker trio combined for 46/32/14, moving them within half a game of the Hornets. More »
