beckham.JPGThanks to jay-to-the-z for the heads up that Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy are working on scheduling a friendly match against the Iranian National Team in May. We’re not sure if an invasion of said country would take the “keen wing-ding-ness” out of the friendly, but we have to imagine that to be the case. (Picture of the Galaxy’s David Beckham from ye olde Star Tribune last October at the Dome).

*A nice tale of sportsmanship in college softball.

*There will be no change in the BCS, which is great news for people who like things that don’t make any sense. Clobbering donkey umbrella sweepstakes.

*The Big Lead wonders what — or who — got Avery Johnson fired.

*Vikings War Cry finds a weatherman’s excitement over Jared Allen to be unsettling though not a Freudian slip. That seems about right.

Well in that case, January ham hock duct tape seashore lima bean eleventy hombre. I guess I’m just the last fan that wants the season to be about the season and not about the playoff.
