Frankly speaking, I don't get what the big deal is with David Beckham. I guess I say that because I've never really seen him play. Sure, he was probably one of the main reasons as to why his former team Manchester United won a championship several years ago -- but I feel that he's one of those ridiculously over payed players. For me, he's mostly all hype. Incidentally, Real Madrid hasn't won a championship title since signing up Beckham four years ago. Coincidence?
More changes in the world of sports...
In the NBA, the most recent being Chris Webber becoming a free agent and signing up with the Detroit Pistons. I guess, at his age, he just wants to play for a ball club that might give him the NBA championship ring that he's been dreaming of for quite some time now.
Former Sixers teammate of Webber, Allen Iverson, has been traded as some of you (reading) probably know. When I think of the Philadelphia 76ers, I think of Iverson, and vice versa. So it's strange trying to imagine him in a different uniform (I haven't had the chance yet to watch a Nuggets game with Iverson on the 'tube), playing for a different team. But players getting traded is something that happens in the game of basket ball (or any other sport for that matter). And just like Webber, Iverson isn't exactly getting any younger and most likely wants to win that championship ring that's eluded him since his stint with the Sixers, who either perform poorly every season, or end up short in the playoffs (despite having a good start and/or playing well in the season). I just don't quite get why Iverson went to or chose the Denver Nuggets (no offense to the team or those who like them). Maybe he thought that he's got a (better) chance (now), what with the Nuggets having the league's leading scorer Carmelo Anthony in their team roster.
On the rumor mill : there are talks that Pau Gasol (of the Memphis Grizzlies) will request to be traded to another team. And that team may just be the Chicago Bulls. Even though there have been talks between the two organizations, Grizzlies team president Jerry West says that they're not giving up Gasol (despite reports that the Memphis organization has grown a bit dissatisfied with Gasol's performance as of late).
'Nuff said.

Ayayay, too much testosterone! Men and sports. Nothing about tennis, eh? Hehe.
Super Bowl XLI is i think 630pm EST on the 4th. Feb 5 will be one of the rare times you're waking up early i bet (that is if you're not gonna stay up all morning and wait for it.) And that would be a monday there. Toink.
I can read your writing, but all I see is blahblahblahblah. Hee.
So THAT's why Hollywood is making a huge deal about Posh making the big move to LA. Big deal. That wife of Beckham is beginning to look like a wax statue, is you ask me.
For $250 million, anyone would move to another country. Man. Is Beckham worth that much? I know he's popular and all but I don't know if he's a good soccer player. Hee. And yeah, most of what you wrote are blahblahblah. Good clock btw.
Yes, nice clock.
Me man...sports...me likey. Haha. I figgered that this would be a bit Greek for ya ladies ("you can read my writing, but all you see is blahblahblahblahblah" - hehe). I guess the post coincided with the fact that I'd been watching sports for several hours that one morning (basketball, the American Football Championship, and then, finally, the National Football Championship).
And thanks, Gwynnie, for the clock.
