Beckham: Beardy, Not as Gay as Before, Maybe Pregnant

Here's the kinda hard thing about being David Beckham. He's an assist man --and a damn good one at that-- and since assists don't have the same highlight reel-appeal as goals, people (myself included) can easily get sidetracked into talking about everything but his game.

Take yesterday's Daily Mail for example where his new facial hair has called into question whether or not he has any association with the Taliban (no chance, he's too stylish for that life). And maybe those two hairy pork chops on the sides of his head are the reason that homosexualists are now rating Joe Cole above him on the "people to play tummy sticks with" scale. That or it's because he's allegedly got his missus in a family way for the forth time, so it's pretty much a lock that he's not down for the man-love.

So do you see what I mean? It's just so easy to talk fugitive terrorists, gay stuff and preggers gossip instead of real soccer shit like divine crosses and sweet passing sequences. Maybe I'm just superficial or watch too much E! Network or something....hmm, I wonder if they're hiring.
