It's been a terrific weekend for various reasons, which is why I haven't gotten HUMPDAY and FERRIS BUELLER'S OFF DAY posted yet. Please expect them to go up tonight when we get back in.
And while I know I've decided to separate all soccer, Sounders, and World Cup-related matters to the other blog, I can't resist posting a little tribute to Sir David Beckham here. I posted a tribute and celebratory post on the soccer blog to commemorate his decision to give the finger to Paris-St. Germain - and remain here in the U S of A. And now I'm finally posting a similar (if a lot shorter) tribute to him here on this movie review blog.
I don't have to tell you how important it is for American soccer to have this brilliant, unique individual in our folds, especially on the eve of the MLS 2012 season kickoff in March... We were genuinely concerned that Becks would actually go to to France. Turns out we have nothing to worry about - for the next two years, anyway.
But let the images of this brilliant man speak for themselves:
Cheers, Becks. See you at CenturyLink Field this season. Give me some great pictures like you did last season...
UPDATE: And to fellow Juventus fans back in Italy and around the World, congrats on Juve being the Winter Champs for the Serie A 2011-2012 season, which is the half-way mark title. This is a good sign because, historically, the teams that won the Winter Champs title, went on to win the Scudetto (Serie A version of the MLS Cup). After Napoli, Inter-Milan, and Roma, Juventus is my next fave team, which along with Becks' decision to stay Stateside, makes this month a great time in soccer, both domestic and international.
A tribute to La Vecchia Signora, AKA The Old Lady (Juventus's nickname as one of the oldest football clubs in Italy)...
