What Went Wrong With Beckham And The MLS?
This is the main picture you see of David Beckham anymore; sitting in a luxury box with his oddly named children, watching his "teammates" of the LA Galaxy play (and lose) without him.

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....

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...

Get Thee To Denver, Fast
Guess what, kids? Tonight's the MLS All-Star Game? We're pretty sure the MLS All-Star Game exists just to give the MLS Web site something other than David Beckham to talk about. (Snappy URL on the MLS site, though.)...
Beckham Is Here! (And So Is Our Winner)
The day has come, folks: David Beckham's first formal press conference as a member of the MLS is today. DC Sports Bog will be live blogging the presser, and though we're not sure how that's gonna work, it'll likely be entertaining anyway....

ESPN Would Like To Remind You Of Its Omnipotence
Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that instead of watching Game One of the NBA Finals last night, you decided your evening would be better spent watching the MLS game between the Colorado Rapids and the Houston Dynamo on ESPN2.
