For some reason, ESPN never let Boca answer my question:
Oswaldo Sanchez, Rafa Marquez, Luisa Hernandez and Temoc Blanco are lined up against a wall with blindfolds on. You have a gun with one bullet. What do you do?"
Blanco, obviously. Then you clear up the MLS diving problem as well. (Fredy Montero, take note.)
Also, this is apropos of nothing whatsoever, but I thought you'd appreciate the fact that even the celebri-mags are following your lead. Check out the name spelling, fourth paragraph.

thank you laurie!
that is way too hilarious
but it's not my lead we are all following, that is my mother
and she would be mad at me if i took credit
she has called him beckman from day one!
