Hell, if they can find another Schelotto they might just pull it off because the East is weaker than Nate Jaqua's left foot. Good luck to 'em. http://theoffsiderules.com/By-the-Time-They-Get-to-Arizona-LA-in-Tucson http://theoffsiderules.com/following/theoffsiderules.com/By-the-Time-They-Get-to-Arizona-LA-in-Tucson Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:56:31 +0000 TheOffsideRules 2860253 Tucson police officer: (to David Beckham) At least it's 70 degrees here for you, right? You can work on your tan. David Beckham: Yeah. There you go. Tuscon police officer: I'm not saying you're pale or anything. I'm just saying. David Beckham: I'm English. I'm allowed to be. http://theoffsiderules.com/Photo-of-the-Day-vintage-Clint-Mathis-Thierry-Henry http://theoffsiderules.com/following/theoffsiderules.com/Photo-of-the-Day-vintage-Clint-Mathis-Thierry-Henry Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:40:53 +0000 TheOffsideRules 2860067 <img src="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/5/165915/2860067/19099081413_xpH76_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="708" width_o="650" height_o="720" src_o="http://payload28.cargocollective.com/1/5/165915/2860067/19099081413_xpH76_o.jpg" align="left" /> Metro/RBNY legends Cleetus and Titi on the court at the 2001 NBA Finals. Could you imagine if they were on the same team during this time? America would not have been able to handle it. Neither would MLS defenders. http://theoffsiderules.com/VIDEO-New-MLS-on-NBC-Sports-promo http://theoffsiderules.com/following/theoffsiderules.com/VIDEO-New-MLS-on-NBC-Sports-promo Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:01:03 +0000 TheOffsideRules 2859977 How excited am I for the debut of MLS on NBC Sports?

I hope this "Keel Cam" bit runs all season long. Shout out to Joel Lindpere for ending the interview by sending Keel to get him a Pina Colada. That's a boss move right there. http://theoffsiderules.com/Here-s-something-you-don-t-see-everyday http://theoffsiderules.com/following/theoffsiderules.com/Here-s-something-you-don-t-see-everyday Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:01:16 +0000 TheOffsideRules 2852249 <img src="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/5/165915/2852249/LAKERS_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="425" width_o="650" height_o="432" src_o="http://payload27.cargocollective.com/1/5/165915/2852249/LAKERS_o.jpg" align="left" /> Here's something you don't see everyday: a group photo featuring David Beckham where he's the worst-dressed dude in the shot. Surely a fashion icon like Becks knows better than to wear his play clothes to meet Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, California Governor Jerry Brown, LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Magic Johnson in a suite at the Staples Center. Betcha $5 and a tube of bacon-flavored toothpaste that somebody sprung this on him at the last minute. http://theoffsiderules.com/Ooooweee-Montreal-s-marketing-is-hella-French http://theoffsiderules.com/following/theoffsiderules.com/Ooooweee-Montreal-s-marketing-is-hella-French Sat, 18 Feb 2012 01:07:49 +0000 TheOffsideRules 2831390 <img src="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/5/165915/2831390/FrenchStuff_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="989" width_o="650" height_o="1005" src_o="http://payload26.cargocollective.com/1/5/165915/2831390/FrenchStuff_o.jpg" align="left" /> Cotdamn this is some Gallic s***.

Currently, they are touring with a set that includes amps and bass cabinets emblazoned with the message "Bates Out" (the Bates in question being club chairman Ken Bates). Something tells me they won't be invited back anytime soon. http://theoffsiderules.com/Roxy-Music-Love-is-the-Drug-Todd-Terje-dub-mix http://theoffsiderules.com/following/theoffsiderules.com/Roxy-Music-Love-is-the-Drug-Todd-Terje-dub-mix Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:09:24 +0000 TheOffsideRules 2823493 ZOMG this is a monster. Todd Terje strips out 85% of Bryan Ferry's vocals while stretching out this post-disco classic into a dubby slice of dancefloor gold. Can't wait to drop it at this weekend's gig because everyone loves Roxy Music (or at least they feel obligated to say they do for fear of getting fired from the record store they work at and/or blog they write for). http://theoffsiderules.com/The-Harry-Redknapp-Song http://theoffsiderules.com/following/theoffsiderules.com/The-Harry-Redknapp-Song Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:32:42 +0000 TheOffsideRules 2822712 Kick, the new Youtube soccer channel, launched yesterday with a mix of studio shows, classic matches and training videos. Today they brought the funny in the form of "The Harry Redknapp Song", which sounds suspiciously like Travis' version of Brit-Brit's "Hit Me Baby, One More Time". Quality.
