Soccer is viewed as the bastard son of sports in the USA. Despite being the biggest participant sport Stateside, the NASCAR lovin’ rednecks think of it with as much respect as they would if The Village People made a surprise appearance in one of their bars, and the football lovin’ wideboys can’t understand how or why a bunch of people kicking a ball possibly be called ‘football’. In other words, David Beckham’s arrival will be a Godsend for lovers of big, round, white balls. Here’s why…

Baseball’s Saddest Clown
There is a perpetual circus performing in Major League Baseball. Every so often, between the lion tamers (Clemens, Pujols) and the trapeze artists (Ichiro, Eckstein), a clown emerges and steals the show. This clown is very different from others in two respects: 1)his head—not his shoes—are clownish in size, and 2)he makes fans cry instead of laugh. That’s right, its Bondzo the Clown!

"Becks" May Work Here in the States
David Beckham, international super-celebrity and washed up soccer player, has made his way onto the coast of the United States—the “West” coast, that is. Beckham signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy for an astronomical $250 million dollars Thursday, making him the highest paid athlete in the history of, well, the galaxy. The MLS, who has struggled to gain respectability in its first ten years of existence, is banking on “Becks” to increase interest in the sport of soccer among a nation dominated by (American) football fanatics. This is a tall task for anyone, let alone a 31 year old has-been from a different continent. There is a chance, however, that the former Premiere League superstar could do just that.

Now since it is in season, this article highlights NCAA football, and the NFL. But just like football, it can hold true in basketball, and baseball as well.

2007 Sports Predictions
At this time each year, it’s only natural for sports fans to look back at the year that was — and make their guesses about the upcoming year. Who will win the big game, melt down on the sideline and hook up with Courtney Love in a men’s room stall? While waiting 12 months is the surest way to answer these questions, what fun is that? Without further ado, here are my predictions for the 2007 sports year.
The NBA salary report for the 2006-2007 season was announced recently. If viewed beyond the sports realm, it can be seen as depressing social depth chart, which leaves me practially unrankable, in the moderately to below moderately compensated writer’s assistant category. At least I got a bonus this year. Last year I was Christmas downsized.

How the NFL dropped the ball.
In the NFL, there is a serious disease affecting every player and every team. The symptoms of the disease become apparent at the worst possible times, when the game is on the line. It affects everybody, even the game’s best. The most terrifying thing is that no cure exists now or in the future. This disease affects a person’s ability to catch a ball also known as, “the drop.”

Why no one cares about the NBA
No one can really debate that the NBA’s popularity has been very low since they returned from the 1999 lockout. Many speculate as to why, but one reason stands out above all others to me, and somehow is rarely mentioned in these discussions.
The NBA has absolutely NO parity.
