I stole this image from a Flikr stream created by “thisguyprints”. I hope he doesn’t sue me.
A few weeks ago I took out my frustration with the 2008 season on the Galaxy front office, sending a lengthy e-mail to my season ticket rep and laying out my conditions for renewal. I turned that e-mail into [...]
Day After Thoughts On Galaxy Changes
By: NathanHJ | 17 Comments
Now that it is The Day After, I have a few thoughts on what just happened.
Alexi Lalas‘ firing was at least a year too late and was a laughably inept hire in the first place. Lalas was good at many things, like being a salesman extraordinaire, doing color commentary, creating funny ESPN Sportscenter promotional spots, [...]
We Are Looking for a Beckham Blogger
By: Laurie | 9 Comments
First and most important: Stop back by here around 6:00 Pacific if you’re watching the game at home. (Or, I suppose, if you’re watching somewhere else but have an internet connection.) Leave lots of comments. It’s always more fun to have company while I’m watching, and I consider you guys are [...]

More fun stuff from our commenters.
Yesterday we heard from the Beckham hater. Now the Beckham-lovers. (Or at least fans.) This one came to us via Diane, with a little help from Mag.
Best quote:

I spotted this over on Ebay. I have no idea why it made me laugh, but…

Gullit’s Out of the Loop? Not Again! (Some Lessons for AEG From Business 101)
By: Laurie | 8 Comments
I’m assuming AEG didn’t get where they are by being clueless about business. Right? And one of the key tenets of business is that you don’t separate authority from responsibility. Meaning people should have some control over the things you’re holding them responsible for.
Let’s go wonkish and head to a business website [...]
The Beckham Children Learn Young How to Deal with Paparazzi
By: Laurie | 11 Comments
I love children. Particularly precocious ones.
And I am sure the paparazzi completely deserved it.
As a mom, I’m quite impressed with his fine motor skills. Do you know how hard it is to do this when you’re three?
Landon’s All Over the Blogosphere for Saying…
By: Laurie | 9 Comments
I’m currently mentally working on a game review. For what it’s worth. But for now:
Landon Donovan apparently did an interview with Telefutura after the game. I’ll let Soccer y Futbol tell you about it:
“Some may not like it, but we are the giants of MLS.”
But Donovan quickly catches himself
“Then again, we have [...]

I am outta here for the long weekend. (Volunteer activities taking me away. Not the vacation yet.) I’ll be back on Monday. In the meantime, longtime fan and Galaxy Offside reader Jen will be keeping you posted on all things Galaxy.
Please treat her extremely well and leave lots of [...]
Category: Off the FieldFascist Galaxy Fans? Uh…wha…HUH?
By: Laurie | 28 Comments
I got a rather unusual email the other day. My first impulse was to dismiss it automatically.
My second was to think, “Well… The world is a strange place. I suppose it’s possible.”
Tell me what you think. Here’s what it said:
Hi Laurie,
