Beckham To Retire At Last
Life, Leeds United, The Universe and Everything

Beckham: Hanging Up Boots So, the day has arrived at last.  An icon is to depart the game.  England’s “Goldenballs”, the man with the most famous metatarsal the world has ever seen, he of the sculpted facial furniture with chiseled jaw and cheekbones to die for, David Robert Joseph Beckham OBE is finally to quit the game he has – more or less – adorned since 1995.  Everybody is sitting up and taking notice at what is the end of an era.  Leyton Orient have felt it necessary to remind the world in a timely tweet that the Coiffed One is to make his last appearance against French side Lorient – NOT the English League One denizens L.Orient.  Thanks for clearing that up, lads.  My first memory of David Beckham is necessarily hazy – I was quite intoxicated, and stood high up in the away end at The Theatre of Hollow Myths as Leeds United’s all-conquering youth side trampled the budding superstars of Man U into the turf on their way to an eventual

Jewelry: Getting Passionate about the Vols
ON6444: The Blog

Since I began working at Old Navy, I’ve been approached by many people asking if our jewelry ever comes in UT orange and white. While I’d like to suggest that our new line was tailor made just for Vol fans, it’s at least a pretty sweet coincidence that our latest jewelry highlight, “Passion” hits Vol Central in gorgeous shades of tangerine and cream set in a silver-tone metal. Because there’s a limited supply of pieces, I invite the great Vol Nation to come in and check it out as soon as you can for the best selection of earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings. This collection is an immediate must-have for all of our devoted and “passion”-ate UT fans! ^jp

11/05/2013 – Sly & the Family Stone-Underdog (1967)
thisyearinmusic

Wigan won the FA Cup Final! I’m still in shock. This equals Wimbledon beating Liverpool in the 87-88 season. It wasn’t the best final I’ve ever seen. In all fairness the finals are normally a bit of a let-down (the real drama happens earlier on). The real problem is that Manchester City just thought that they’d win and didn’t really try. Wigan on the other hand were primed and ready to go. I thought that they would put out a weaker team (as they have Arsenal on Tuesday and if they lose they are relegated). How wrong I was. Wigan knew that this was their only chance of silverware for the next few years and why not go for it, and if it comes off, then at least the fan can be proud of something this season. It’s commendable. But if they do manage to beat Arsenal next week, it could bring the season to an amazing end.   I watched the match with a friend in a pub. I thought the pub would be busier, but we got a good view of the screen. Most of the people in the pub didn’t care who won,

Neymar Joins Barcelona
Football Maniac

Brazil brightest football star Neymar da Silva has agreed to sign for Barcelona, the Santos forward wrote on his Instagram page and Twitter account that he will put pen to paper on Monday, with Barcelona Official website also confirming that the 21-year old brazilian will play for the Catalan side for the next five seasons. Neymar said he will play his last match with Santos on Sunday against Flamengo in the team’s first match in this year’s Brazilian league. “I want to thank Santos fans for these nine incredible years,” Neymar said. “My feelings for the club and the fans will never change. I made it sure that I play (this last match) so I can have the opportunity to once again enter the field wearing the team’s jersey and to hear the fan chant my name.” Neymar led Santos to its greatest run since Pele stopped playing for the club in the 1970s. The youngster helped Santos win the 2010 Brazilian Cup, the 2011 Copa Libertadores and three straight

費格遜爵士退休致辭全文 Alex Ferguson’s retirement speech
My Locker

“The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly. It is the right time. “It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so. The quality of this league winning squad, and the balance of ages within it, bodes well for continued success at the highest level whilst the structure of the youth set-up will ensure that the long-term future of the club remains a bright one. “Our training facilities are amongst the finest in global sport and our home Old Trafford is rightfully regarded as one of the leading venues in the world. “Going forward, I am delighted to take on the roles of both Director and Ambassador for the club. With these activities, along with my many other interests, I am looking forward to the future. “I must pay tribute to my family, their love and support has been essential.

AD Julie Hermann was not suggested but Rutgers’ search firm
SNY Rutgers

[sny-editorial userid="13425130"][/sny-editorial] Rutgers hired Parker Executive Search firm to help them find their new athletic director, and Julie Hermann wasn’t one of their suggestions. 47 candidates were initially submitted to Rutgers search committee by Parker Executive Search, and Hermann wasn’t on that list, according to The Star-Ledger. She was later added by committee co-chair Kate Sweeney. So Rutgers hired a search firm to replace Tim Pernetti after the Mike Rice fallout, and then ignored them. And now they have an athletic director that has both a video and a abusive coach scandal of her own brewing. Follow Matt Sugam on Twitter Like Matt Sugam on Facebook

2013 Champions League Final Match Report
The Sports Life

Our friend and fellow blogger, from Jordan Meyer’s Sports Blog, wrote an article summing up the All German Champions League Final. It was a terrific game which went down to the wire as Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund, 2-1 as Robben scored in the last minute to seal the win. Here’s what Jordan said about the match: A late Arjen Robben goal saw Bayern Munich clinch their fifth Champions League trophy after a thrilling encounter at Wembley. This end- to- end match saw true heroics from both goalkeepers, who somehow managed to keep out a barrage of chances on their goals for just over an hour. After a very tight opening spell, it looked to be Dortmund that were the hungrier of the two sides, and it took just 19 minutes for them to conjure up their first dangerous attack, which saw the talented playmaker Marco Reus denied from distance by the strong hand of Manuel Neuer. The underdog’s continued to dominate, and if not for some acrobatics from the Bayern goalkeeper, Rob

#1: Not the Dreamtime I dreamt of.
Regular Bull-shit

Last night (Saturday) I faced a tough decision as to what to do with my night. Drive all the way to Bayswater for a 21st, go to the long-awaited Dreamtime at the G match or just lie on the couch and watch the game at home. I ended up choosing the latter of the three options – after 2 ultimate training sessions and 1 metal concert in the past 24 hours I was utterly exhausted. I did not know I was about to subject myself to an evening of pain and frustration. For the Tigers were abysmal. In front of a crowd of 84,234 people against the current most hated team in the AFL, they were completely outclassed. The Tigers’ defensive pressure was generally absent, their forwards rarely had space inside the forward 50 to lead into, and their midfield lacked the aerobic capacity to either hurt Essendon with their run or contain them on the counterattack. No matter how much Tiger fans are used to disappointment, it’s always galling to lose to Essendon, whose fans are even more obno
