beckham, soccer, and a confession.

January 11th, 2007 § 10 comments

i’m a little afraid to admit this… but here goes nothing. i’m a closet soccer fan. that’s right, i said it… i like soccer… and with the news of david beckham leaving real madrid for the US my excitement level grew.

now, i haven’t really followed much about MLS, but i really do dig the premier league in europe. in fact, a few weeks ago i got to watch a replay of the manchester united game vs. chelsea… and then again the united game against aresnal. both really fun games to watch!

i guess it all started a few years back with the world cup and took off this year. so, now it’s out there… my confession has been made. i am a soccer fan… and i’m really excited about beckham coming to the states.

    Glad you came out of the closet, no seriously I always knew you were a little gay but now I have proof. I will have Eric sleep with you in the hotel. Maybe if your lucky he will bring his David Beckham jersey and put his hair up in a gay half pony tail for you.

    Whatever Matt you just wish you HAD his hair!! : )

    I’m just going to assume that this whole post is a joke.

    finally a contract that makes less sense than the soriano and zito signings!

    and i have a strange, pseudo sexual, attraction to the premier league as well. i’ve always thought english soccer fans approach their sport the right way. when it comes to sporting events i’ll take hooligans over corporate wastes any day.

    they’re still playing soccer? that is so awesome. anyway, since you obviously don’t keep up with your MySpace, when is a good weekend in March to do the draft, Mr. League Champion?

    Also, give me a call sometime and update me on your life.

    One last thing- as a youth minister, that Tickle-me-Emo video you had up awhile ago may have been the best thing ever.

    JM – if you’re talking about fantasy baseball, i would like the record to show that this sumbitch wants in.

    pretty please?

    so monts???

    gentry, you’re welcome in if you can get to the midwest for the auction. you also must know that we’re in a keeper league so a lot of the players are already on teams.

  • gentry13 says:

    well, i can’t get to the midwest for the auction but could do it via phone or skype. as for the keeper league…are there any teams that are folding?
