The obligatory Beckham update, because a few people might actually still be interested:

Goal.com is reporting that an "American source" has confirmed that Beckham will stay in Milan. They reference "Daily Californian Los Angeles Times" which just sounds weird, so I'm not sure where the original story came from (hunting it down now).

Ivan Gazidis is a smart man, and we should all listen to him. While I'm disappointed he's no longer with MLS, I'm glad that he can be a voice of reason on that side of the pond for anything related to our cute little "retirement" league.

Not directly related to Beckham is a Q&A with Gazidis that I missed in yesterday's NY Times Goal blog.

That is all.

Oh, but I am working on a piece tentatively entitled "5 Quick Ways to Build Buzz" from an MLS perspective, so be on the look out for that. Yea! Another list!
