Where'd they get the cash? Phil Rizzuto's 'The Money Store' [Sorry Scooter, had to].
Yeah, DB deal was reported to be $250/5 years.
Last night I was back and forth with watching the Skins (on Tivo in HD, via FIOS: Scwheeet!) and the LA Galaxy Vs The NY Red Bulls.
As to Soccer: I have never seen so many hot chicks at a soccer game in my life.
Attendance was over 66,000.
Oh yeah, (DB, not Phil Rizzuto) corner kicked twice in two minutes, placed the ball right on a guys foot to score a goal. Frigging amazing.
I think the enitre league must be ponying (sp?) up for the fee.
EVERYONE in benefitting.
It was the Best MLS could have hoped for:
High scoring (5-4);
Beckham gets three assists,
Home team wins, in the last 5 minutes.
No free kicks to end the game.
Couldn't have scripted it better.
