Yeow! What a bod on Senor Ronaldo! Tooo bad he's kind of a whiney/diving player. :p

Okay, and speaking of "too bad" . . . Too bad we don't have MLS calendars like this! (http://milan.dolcegabbanacalendar.com/)

(AC Milan players . . . don't know who)

Nice!

Okay, since The Golden One has invaded my favorite euro club (just look at Getty Images . . . you'd think it's "David Beckham's AC Milan.") -- here's my salute to "His Beckness. :D

Oooh la la! Que cuerpo! :D But he needs to learn how to drive and not wreck his Ferrari . . :p

Note: he's letting his hair grow back -- not that ugly, shaved-head, icky-beard look he had at LA last season. This is better.

One for the CRon lovers...

I was out at the FCD v Houstank scrimmage yesterday, with my camera, of course. Afterwards, I saw the player below. I had no idea who he was, at the time, but my first impression was WOW! If he's on the field, I won't care who's winning or how he plays! :D Chazsoccer told me that this is defender George John, one of FCD's draft picks. New member of "Team Hair."

And while I'm at it, Brek Shea is running for "President" of "Team Hair."

Number 8 is now my favorite number. And in honor of that, I thought I'd post some examples of why. :D

Of course, here's the #1 reason:
