Osama Bin Drinkin' Is More Like It
"Hi, it's me again sports fans. Just to prove how many different kinds of crazy we are here here in the cave, we have now called for the deaths of decadent sexpots David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and Thierry Henry.

As Long As You Don't Pan Back, It's Amazing
Sports By Brooks points out what many missed after David Beckham's first MLS goal the other night: There were hardly anybody in the stands. Attendance was 17,223 at an arena that holds 27,000, and reports are there were 8,000 tickets given away. We doubt this will be a problem at the Meadowlands th...
Lots Of Announcers Saying "Bend It"
Any questions? I trust all of you who participated in the month-long orgy of Becklash after Goldenballs landed on our fair shores and healed his ankle poolside at Tom and Katie's will at least stay quiet for another week and let the rest of us enjoy last night's Hollywood moment....
One Guy, Pleading Guilty, Blah Blah

David Beckham Actually Does What He's Paid To Do (For 20 Minutes, Anyway)
In all the hullabaloo of Rick Ankiel, John Daly and cockroaches crawling up Tony Romo's uniform, we almost forget the real story: David Beckham ran up and down a field for about 20 minutes!...
Hey, New Yorkers, come out to Kinsale Tavern this weekend to meet David Hirshey and watch some Premiership. He'll be there from 7:45 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday and 7 a.m.-1 p.m. on Sunday. From Hirshey: "If they introduce themselves to me and say nice things about Arsenal, I'll buy the first round on L...
Is This The End For Our Tubby Hero?
When David Wells missed a start in the 2003 World Series because of mysterious back problems that might have been related to the fact that he weighs 800 pounds, we figured he was done. Missing a World Series start because you were out of shape? People tend to not like that....
The MLS Is Expanding, With Or Without Beckham
David Beckham — or "Becks," as apparently people call him, though we've never actually met one of these people — could make his MLS debut tonight, maybe, for a few minutes, depending on whether or not he's feeling up to it. But no matter what's going on with Beckham, the league itself is moving forw...
Three Great Tastes That ... You Know, We're Gonna Stop There
We meant to post this yesterday but didn't get around to it. David Beckham visited the Yankees locker room on Monday; he was one of the she-male, muscular types A-Rod usually hangs with while in Toronto. For some reason — and we can't put our finger on why — but these pictures oddly remind us of th...

This Donaghy Situation Is Not Likely To Improve
Some may believe this scandal isn't as large as it seems, but we have to disagree. Donaghy, who's scheduled to give himself up to the feds as early as today or tomorrow, might very well spill the beans about some other scandals, and if this thing explodes any farther, well, the whole league could be...
True Stars Shine In Los Angeles
Thank God they finally got that out of the way. For weeks we've been inundated with coverage of David Beckham's American debut. Now that those anti-climactic 12 minutes of play have come and gone perhaps everybody will just calm down for a little while. Like any other fan of American soccer I'm glad...
A False Alarm For Beckham This Weekend
As people are still discussing whether or not David Beckham is really gonna help out the MLS that much, we pause for a moment for an empty moment of non-hype....
Will The Mob Kill Him First, Or Will David Stern?
We usually take front page New York Post stories with a grain of salt — unless they involve the she-male muscular type — but today's is a potentially huge one: An as-yet unnamed NBA ref may have been fixing games for the mob. Yeah. We'd call that a big story....
