I hope somebody at ESPN watched last night's FSC coverage of the RBNY-LA match. Whenever ESPN has done any LA games, they spend 90 percent of the game talking about what brand Kleenex Beckham uses and only when they can't think of anything else do they bother talking about the game we're watching. That's of course, the game we're watching only when the cameras are on the action and not on Beckham scratching his nose or whatever.
Last night's FSC coverage had the appropriate balance. There was always going to be some Beckham hype just because he's Beckham and because about 55,000 extra fans than normal were in attendance. But as much as I know some people don't like Max and Christopher (I'm not a huge fan myself), they never let the hype get out of control, in contrast to Stoner and Waldo who act like 15 year old girls at a Justin Timberlake concert. FSC never let the hype overshadow the actual fantastic soccer match and that's to their credit. I hope, but doubt, ESPN was taking notes.
