Two men.  One a giant in his sport and the other a literal giant had news that seemed to fly under sport's radar last week.  It is surprising considering the two names involved.  However their news has the potential to impact the sports scene in 2008.  For David Beckham being asked to rejoin England and Roy Hibbert deciding to rejoin the Georgetown Hoyas means there could be a little more sizzle on each side when they show up for America and Europe's version of the Madness.

It is time for a football preview! Ok, so the American version doesn't come for another 2 weeks or so, but this is the European version. As I vowed after the World Cup, my columns will continue to cover soccer. This is the first article covering the English Premier League.

It's summertime.  I'm American.  Baseball is my nation's pastime, gearing up for the 77th installment of its midsummer classic and my hometown heroes, the Chicago White Sox, appear fit to defend their title.

But soccer is the world's game.  And I'm finally beginning to understand why.
