I don't know if White Choc's the best player to have on your team if you want to win. What that highlight reel didn't show was the hundred times he threw a behind-the-back pass... into the stands. The guy's unstable too. He actually named his kid JaXson. I remember at the end of the Grizzlies innagural season in Memphis, they had a raffle for all the fans in attendance, and winners would get to come down on the court if they were called, and a player would hand them their playing jersey, autograph it, and take pics with them. Well, when it was White Choc's turn, it was like a 10 year old kid who won the raffle, so he took a Grizzlies t-shirt (not his own jersey), walked out there, and just lobbed it to the kid. I LOL'ed, but he got a lot of **** for it. I haven't seen Beckham out there. I was wondering about that. So he's hurt? How lame. I bet you 50% of the people tuned in right now are only watching to see Beck and the other 50% just left the TV on after sportscenter. HOLY ****! An RHCP themed tribute to Jason (mostly new clips in this one). Actually... if you look close enough, you'll see Randy Moss playing ball on Choc's HS team - Invalid Video Link

He's nursing an old ankle injury or some crap from when he was at Real. Who cares though? MLS sucks and Chelski are ruining the sport.

I don't get the big infatuation with Becks. Nobody really cared much for him in Madrid, that's a fact. The guy is the slowest midfielder in the World and aside from being great at set pieces and the PK, he's got nothing to show forth in other skills or motivation. He's not that bright either.
^ It's mainly non-soccer fans you are getting all excited about him. The dude takes overrated to a whole different level. They should be hyping up teams like Toronto FC and the Chicago Fire. I've gone to a couple TFC home games on the weekend and, even though its not the greatest quality soccer, you get to enjoy a true soccer atmosphere. The rest of the teams in the MLS are in disinterested markets playing on football fields.

I almost lost it the other day when I saw it in a Target commercial where the lyrics were changed to "Hello, Goobuy." That's the worst insult to their music. As for ESPN, if you're going to use their music, at least use their version and not some crappy amateurish cover of it.

The Chicago Fire don't have great players, but the atmosphere is similar to those in Europe, which can also be said for Toronto. The two cities have a great bond and are quite similar by interest. Could be why the two are sister cities.

My goodness, why would a club whose fan base is in the one billion range (no f'n joke) care about a washed up English player past his prime leaving? If anything, it makes a roster spot openly available with no more issues to contend with! lol. It sure as hell isn't for having extra cash, that club is so damn rich they could buy a famous American sports league a couple times over. In short, ESPN suck.

Man, Jason Williams was, along with Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant, was one of my favourite players growing up (i mean from the time I was like 10-12). Actually, I only liked him while he was in Sacramento, because once he got to Memphis, he completely stopped the flashiness that made him White Chocolate. I still remember during the 2000 ASG, he did this incredible "elbow pass" to Raef Lafrentz (haha, remember him?), who couldn't finish the damn play. I remember watching that pass real time and it was so unexpected and different that despite Lafrentz not being able to finish the play, it still made the highlight reels. There is another pass by him that I have on tape somewhere but it was a beautiful bounce pass from one free-throw line to another and I believe Peja was the one who finished the play. He had remarkable passing ability. However, it should be noted that I never actually watched him play, just saw his highlights and fell for the highlights. I was 10 years old when he came into the league and his, Vince's and Kobe's flashiness are pretty much what interested me at that point.

When I started listening to them, I'd heard so many of their songs already through commercials, TV shows, movies, etc. Kind of made it less enjoyable.

Man ESPN and crap were all over Beckham's ass. It's like you have split-screen on your T.V. One one the game other one on Beckham sitting on the bench. It's crazy man.
<div class="quote_poster">Swish Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Invalid Video Link</div> I wish Raef could've somehow put the ball in the basket. That was a great pass.
