In Paris yesterday, David Beckham played what will likely be the final match of his storied career, as Paris Saint Germain topped Brest, 3-1. While his international celebrity outpaced his on-pitch performance, Becks will go down as one of England's all-time greats. Very few in the history of the sport can match the accuracy of his service and his ability on set pieces. Check out arguably the most famous goal of his career, the 2002 strike against Greece that sent England to the World Cup and inspired the movie, 'Bend It Like Beckham':

If you're reading this before 11:00 you've still got time to turn on Fox Soccer Channel to catch Tottenham Hotspur taking on Sunderland in a final bid to overtake Arsenal and snare the BPL's Champions League berth. The Gunners play at Newcastle at the same time, needing a win to ensure the all-important 4th place finish.

Very tempting - Just bought tix to We Were Promised Jetpacks show the same week at Jammin Java. 2 VIP seats left on website..
Zman - this headline of ESPN caught my eye: "Manuel says Bills' scheme easier than FSU's".
Yikes - what if he's right?
I'm an unabashed but frequently bashed fan of 1970's Heart. (80's Heart blew.) They are wailing on a killer tendition of "Crazy On You" in the RnRHoF show airing in HBO. The Wilsons still bring it. And no, I'm not being facetious.
I'll guess Audi tesla bimmer Benz. I see teslae all over the place lately. zfather, an astute observer of human nature, opined that "After the consumer reports review every dentist in Scarsdale will want a Tesla."
The Bills suck.
tesla, benz, bmw, audi. the future is coming.
Remarkable, although I suspect all are relatively small volume. A tesla 5series fighter will be interesting and in high demand.
shlarence, looks like the virginia gop chose farrrr right over just plain far right for lieutenant governor. and to think that shlara and i could have told stories about that one time we talked about virginia educational policy with the lieutenant governor if they'd only selected pete snyder.
Snyder's website has a section titled "the rub on Pete." While I have no problem with that type of behavior it probably didn't curry favor with the GOP base, you know, fear of blindness and hair on your palms and all that.
my son ian bent in a lovely free kick on saturday it what was the ugliest, most violent U-8 soccer game i've ever seen. parents screaming at the ref, tramplings, pushing from behind. that's what you get when you play kids from elizabeth, new jersey. definitely toughened up our little small town dudes, but NOT what a kid's sporting event should be.
Mr. KQ enjoy the WWJP show. They are great live. If the venue is small bring earplugs.
Mario Williams isn't particularly well-spoken.

Rob--I was surprsied the VA GOP went so extreme. Heard some quotes from the dude they nominated...he doesn't seem to be playing with a full deck of cards
Regardless of his purported suicidal tendencies, the marriage didn't happen. Unless he proposed on her birthday or a [largely recognized] holiday, she will need to give the ring back.
I think there are different rules in Different states and im not capable of doing the correct choice of law analysis. Regardless, he can't form a coherent sentence.
"barracuda" is one of the worst songs ever recorded. right on up there with "locomotive breath."
sentence of dave is the only website that proposes that michael chiklis and andrew strong are the same person. i am monopolizing that topic!
Cheers Squeaky, can't do ear plugs will just drink myself silly.
Nadal is woodshedding Federer in Rome.
