You seem to be forgetting the amount of towels he threw during this time. I think the amount of towels he threw during his Cubs career more than made up for the 25 million :)

Goodbye Blue Cross, hopefully Blue Shield joins you next year.

sniff sniff.

For those who are Scottish Premier fans, Sirius Satellite Radio has signed a deal to carry all their games. The first one is this Saturday at 9am eastern.

D-Lee on "Jim Rome is Burning" right now
davecubsfan replied to OleMissCub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I would probably pay really really good money to see Jim Rome burning. -
How did Onyewu fare during the Euro season? I'd be hesitant to have him fall from "stud defender/central back of the future" to "oaf off the bench" based just on the Gold Cup. he didn't look good for Newcastle. hasn't been in form in a while When Newcastle decides they don't want you, you've done something very wrong. Hahaha awesome.

Good Lord Eto'o and Henry playing up front for Barca. Imagine the possibilities.

I'm just glad to see you have two threads with the same thought posted in them on the first page of Baseball Discussions.

Let's go Milan. Hold it together
-
I'm actually considering flying up for that. I love the Old Firm.

I have to say I'm totally shocked. Kerry should be brought up on embezzlement charges once his time with the Cubs is finally done. He's stolen money for years. Blue Cross and Blue Shield at least waited till the end of spring training to start this year.

The Lyon loss hurts a lot. I had them picked to be in the finals.
-
It was a great game. Tevez's reaction after his first goal in the EPL was priceless.
-
Yep, it was a great game. Count me in for a trip to Chicago if Celtic is in fact playing the Fire. I'll be there with my green striped kit on. I love the Old Firm teams.

I actually like the wool and won't buy a cotton baseball cap ever. This is gonna take some time to get used to on my part :(
-
I would love to see Rijkaard at least get an interview, but I don't see it happening. IMO, he's much too big of a name to be our national team coach and will end up at Bayern or as Chelsea's replacement should Mourinho head to Real/Barca/Bayern

I was waiting for this and knew it would happen

Ronaldo to AC Milan http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/6271487.stm

As I've said before, I think they'll make their money back plus some. Becks, even at 31, is still a world class athlete and better than most of the other athletes in MLS. I really think he was signed for marketing and to get the floodgates opening for other aging superstars to head over. I don't think you'll ever see a 20 year old English star head to MLS, but I think MLS would be even more successful than it is now with a few 31-35 year old stars on the downside of their careers. On TMZ.com, there's a report that says most English rags are sending a minimum of two photogs over just for Posh and Becks coverage in America. Davids would be an excellent pickup for FC Dallas. He still has the ability to get open and put the ball in the back of the net and like Becks, will come over here and be a difference maker by bringing the Premier League mentality and workman ethic with them. I think MLS just took a huge step up, and a huge step that was needed to stay relevant. This was my number one way a few months ago to help MLS grow. MLS just became a bit relevant on the world scene by hiring one player. Their exposure and marketing just went way up. When is the last time you saw the words MLS on BBC's football coverage? I rest my case.

Honestly, I figured it would be more. You're asking an international superstar to come to a fledgling league in a country where soccer is little more than an afterthought. I think the contract will pay off for LA, and I'm already making plans now to fly to LA to see Becks play. I can't wait. I'd probably check out a Fire-Galaxy game, so they're already selling tickets. Where the hell is the Galaxy getting $250 million, is the MLS paying a huge chunk of it? Maybe Roman Abramovich is buying the Galaxy too. Isn't a lot of it going to be AEG's money? I would hope, anyway... I'd say most of it will be AEG's money.

A consortium owns several MLS franchises, and I'd guess they're using the money from the DC United sale to help pay for Becks. edited to add The story is now on the front page of ESPN.com and Foxsports.com, so it's pretty close to official. :D :D :D

five-year deal, reportedly worth £128m. MLS must be expecting to a do a lot better than they have so far. This will be a steal by the end of the contract IMO. I really think this move is a floodgate opener and we'll see some real talent in MLS next season. I'd love to see Zidane and Ronaldo follow Becks over as well. I'd say that Ronaldo will eventually end up over here, but I'm guessing that Zidane is really done. That's ARod money. Becks >>>>>ARod To me, this is the first move that legitimizes MLS. This has been my main argument against the league for years and one of my main complaints is now gone.

I guess the question that needs to be asked, is if a player like Beckham is worth the money LA is going to shell out to land him. He's not really an exciting player. He's never been strong on the ball, and age has deteriorated the ability he had. He's still lethal on set pieces, but is that really going to energize a fanbase? Does this move make MLS better, or just give LA a PR angle with which to sell tickets? How many people are going to go to games expecting Beckham to be the Man U Beckham and be dissapointed and turned off? I'm not sure about this move. I couldn't disagree more US. I love Becks and have always viewed him as exciting. He can come over here and absolutely DOMINATE in my opinion against the God awful talent in the MLS, plus he can teach Landycakes a few things. I think this move will help Landycakes a lot. As soon as it's confirmed over here, I'm buying a Becks LA Galaxy jersey.
