We aim to please. Stay tuned for exciting stories, saucy pics, and far more Beckham news that the average person could stomach. (But I believe LA fans are a hardy breed who have developed a tolerance for this kind of stuff over time...) Thanks, Tab. We aim to please.

I didn't realize that the owner was forking over the vast majority of the money. Hey Laurie,

The actual "Beckham receives these $$ from MLS" was kind of an asterisk. Small print. Because $400,000 is not NEARLY sensational enough.

I don't think anyone figured that the league was paying any more than that, it was all a question of how much the team is actually shelling out salary-wise.
