Source: www.terezowens.com --- 30 minutes ago How does my scarf look Terez? Does it match or should I wear one of my others? To the rest of the world, L.A. Galaxy superstar David Beckham’s gesture Wednesday night didn’t mean much. But in England, it was the equivalent of Becks flipping the bird at Palm Beacher Malcolm Glazer! Heartthrob Beckham, who’s with AC Milan in Europe when U.S. soccer is off in winter, was lingering on the pitch after playing against his old Manchester United squad when a fan handed him a green-and-gold scarf. Beckham put it around his neck. Glazer, the 81-year-old owner of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, borrowed heavily to buy ManU in 2005 for $1 billion. In a country where the great American pastime of buying something with someone else’s money is frowned upon, fans smelled a rat. And immediately took a real dislike to Glazer. Glazer, who sold one of his Palm Beach mansions last year for $24 million and then started renovations on a $22 million-beachfronter a few blocks away, immediately raised United ticket prices. He sold its most popular players. And now that Manchester United is even deeper in the hole, dislike has turned to hatred — and unhappy fans started wearing green and gold (the colors of the old Manchester club 100 years ago) scarves in protest. –Palm Beach Post Only in Beckham’s world, would wearing a scarf be a diss.

A second sheet within the file breaks down totals by team and position, based on players that remained available as of early Friday. Reminder: Not all free agents are unrestricted free agents. Released players are not UFAs even though they are free to sign with any team once they clear waivers, if applicable. The chart below breaks down remaining UFAs by age and position. Relatively few sub-30 players are UFAs because new rules require players to have at least six years of experience to qualify.

He is one of the elite kick returners to ever play the game, and boasts the sort of athleticism that evokes names like Bo and Herschel and Thorpe (and makes Terrell Owens look like Kurt Sohn).
