Red card

As Denzel Washington’s character in the movie “Philadelphia” would’ve said, “Explain this to me like I was a 6-year old.” David Beckham plays in his 100th game for England and you guys put it on the front page? He averages nine games a year and the soccer world goes bonkers? Lou Gehrig is rolling over in his grave and Cal Ripken is smirking to himself somewhere in downtown Baltimore.

I think a more appropriate front-page headline would be when this grossly overrated and overpaid footballer, better known here as Posh’s dim-bulb husband, ultimately plays in his 100th minute for the Galaxy, should that ever happen.
