I know you don't care but.....

David Beckham just signed a contract to play for the L.A. Galaxy of the MLS soccer league starting in August of this year. David is one of the top two or three names known in the world when it comes to soccer. He is, as they say, ultra-famous. His wife is also fairly well know...she is Posh Spice. David's contract will pay him a million dollars a week for 5 years. Not bad work if you can get it. This is huge news for the MLS.

Could this spur Ronaldinho or Rodney to come play for the Dynamo? Keep your fingers crossed. For you non-soccerites, this is the equivalent of Peyton Manning leavng the Colts to go play European Football in London (and taking his wife Paris Hilton with him).

And why do I like Dynamo games? They are affordable. Last season I paid ten bucks a ticket for me and three kids. We had good seats, we got free Dynamo t-shirts and ball caps at the stadium and got to walk on the field prior to the game. We also got to shake hands with the players. Think that happens at NFL games? NBA games?

The Astros are still affordable thank goodness.
