Landon Loves Him Some Riot Squad

By: Laurie | August 3rd, 2007

From ESPNsoccerNet:

Before the Chelsea game July 21, Landon Donovan and his wife, actress Bianca Kajlich, handed the Riot Squad an envelope with $600. On the envelope was a handwritten note from Bianca to the Riot Squad thanking its members for their support. The money, a big surprise to the Riot Squad, certainly will provide the best tailgate ever and clearly meant more to the Riot Squad than anything Landon has ever done — everything except winning an MLS Cup with the Galaxy in 2005.

So now Landon is the favorite player of Riot Squad-ers everywhere.

At least till Beckham does something like charter a plane to take them all to Australia for the November exhibition match.

Hey, he could afford it, right?

  You know what’s funny is that when he was playing for San Jose, LARS hated him with a passion. When he joined the Galaxy, there was some apprehension, but now with this gesture, I think LARS is chanting “One of us!”

  Now I know how the early Christians felt with Saul of Tarsus.

  What’s the reasoning behind the dollar amount?

  Isnt this an older story? I feel like I have heard it in the past somewhere.

  Dave, it happened July 21 before the Chelsea game. I read it in a link from July 31. So old is a matter of perspective… Whether this has also happened in the past I have no clue.

  Wendall, why $600? No clue. Anybody have any idea?

  I have no idea for the reason behind the dollar amount. Probably just something arbitrary or maybe LD knows LARS likes to drink a lot of beer.

  BTW, here’s a photo of a handwritten note from either LD or his wife Bianca: http://www.soccerpubs.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=22134#
