Manager: Beckham could play for Madrid again

Fabio Capello strikes me as a great guy, but it is silly to speculate about this now. Beckham will be spending the next five years in the US, and this time away probably won't improve his skills.

David Beckham could play again for Real Madrid -- if he were fit and had the right attitude. Manager Fabio Capello previously said the former England captain never again would play for Madrid after the 31-year-old midfielder signed a five-year deal on Jan. 11 with Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy. "People can make mistakes," Capello said of his initial stance. "When I see that he is in good shape and has a good attitude then he can form part of the team, but he has to show it."

Fantasy MMA

I'm serious about my sports (as this blog should make obvious!), but not everybody takes things so seriously.

My husband, for example, loves fantasy leagues of all kinds. Fantasy baseball, fantasy soccer, and recently...fantasy mixed martial arts!

You heard me. He found a site called "Mixed Martial Arts Playground", which offers fantasy mixed martial arts and discussions of all kinds for MMA fans. Before he found this site, Jerry liked MMA OK. The site is so great that he's getting increasingly obsessed, though!

It is free to use but offers a $500 prize for the first season of play. It is targeted at UFC and PrideFC MMA fans.

He'll be there, all right, but will he show up, if you catch my drift. David was a different player entirely in his Manchester United days. A better player, to be frank.

And there seems little doubt that former England skipper Beckham, who has faced Celtic before in his Manchester United days, will feature in the game.

David Beckham eye reality TV

This strikes me as the worst idea ever. Ozzy Osbourne was somebody who seemed like he'd be a disaster for reality TV, but he wasn't--because Ozzy Osbourne is one smart SOB, as it turns out. David and Victoria Beckham are in the opposite situation: the seem like a good fit for reality TV, but they'll be disasters, because they simply aren't that smart.

Soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria are considering their own reality TV show chronicling their new life in America. ...
