David Beckham Busts His Knee

becks.jpg
For someone who is so strapping , David Beckham is quite fragile. Just two weeks after the British import made his highly anticipated debut for the L.A. Galaxy -- and after nursing an injured ankle for nearly a month -- David got hurt on the field again! This time, Posh's hubby sprained his right knee just 33 minutes into the match.

"It's just gone from one thing to another thing," he said after the game. "Maybe it's time for me to just say, 'I need the rest,' and get it right and don't come back until it's right. I'm devastated to have been taken out of the game, because I was looking forward to this game. I've been given the rest to try and get my ankle feeling better, and it felt better."

Unfortunately, David could be benched for at least month. "At this stage, it's hard to tell, but it doesn't feel good," he told reporters. "With a ligament strain, it's four to six weeks. We'll have to wait and see," he said Wednesday. "I'm going to have a scan tomorrow, and we'll see the full extent of what it is and how long I'll be out, but at the moment, it doesn't feel great."

Well, at least he has his looks.

If you want to be a pro athlete...

...then you spend your 'work week' training, not posing either with or without your bright-eyed wife...

...bright-eyed, btw, from the sun shining through the back of her skull.

They can't deduct sick leave from his salary, right? What a deal!

QT said:

The Beckham is a hellofa player -too bad about his knee - the remark "fragile" is uncalled for - many athletes get one injury after another - you don't hear about those guys , though , -just the Beckham because of his wife .

stephanopoulos said:

That's too bad, I hope he gets better fast. Maybe it is best to rest for a while. I bet Posh is making sure he's taken care, she's a good little wifey.

Barney said:

Agreed there QT on the hellova player - dear stephanopoulos - how are you ? Missed you and couldn't resist coming back - hope we don't screw things up for you . Have seen this guy play and he is good . Too bad about the knee , bud .

stephanopoulos said:

Hi Barney ole buddy ole pal! Good to see you and glad you are back. I don't know how you could 'screw things up for me,'if anything, you all make my day-everyday. Have a great day today! TGIF!

That is too bad about the knee. Athletes hate to be benched, especially when they're as good as he is.

Popeye said:

I been watching that Beckham play a little bit on the sports channel and he is good . Gotta give him credit . Hate to see him sidelined and bet he hates it too .

Sonya said:

Like Beckham, saw him play to and I know why the US wanted him. Hey Barney long time no hear from, was just going to ask stephanopoulos about your where abouts. Glad to see ya back.

maggietalk said:

another example of a over paid athlete, so much for having fun or for the love of the game....

Barney said:

Yeah Sonya - heard you girls were taking some static about the software warriors - so we went down on the side for a while - take care girl . maggietalk must not be a sports person - that's OK - yeah I've watched the Beckham and he is good .

maggietalk said:

I am a sports person however, I think he beckman like so many other athlets are way overpaid... how much was he paid to play for the Galaxy and how many minutes has he played in total... tell me does it make sense...

Barney said:

maggietalk -- yeah girl -- you have a point about the pay . They have to play and make the bucks while they can -- once read any article where an athlete is old at 25 . I still maintain he is good player .

Summer said:

Queenie said:

Sorry bout his knee.

Kingston said:

Queenie I'll be at the mud hole all day tomorrow with the bride. You know what they say, "if you can't find your car, look under my truck".

I sure thought that Beckham boy was gonna be a good soccer player. Hope he fixes that dang knee soon.

Laurie said:

Too Bad - Get Better Soon David!!

queenb said:

It's not like he is getting injured on purpose. Ken Griffey Jr had the same problems for quite some time.

Becca Van said:

David Beckham is a GREAT player. This too will pass and he will be on the playing field soon. Put those Knee Guards on. May you heal in Godspeed. God Bless you and Posh Spice and Congrats on your new Home and Posh's new Designer Jean line. Good Luck to you in all your endeavors.

hah said:

U obviously dont know much bout football so leave him alone. Injury happens to players all the time. It's a game where the players dont wear protective gears so injuries are bound to happen.

dr said:

I liked the old days when you could go out and buy a complete set of golf clubs for $400.00, now a driver alone costs that. With millions of more people playing sports the rational would be sports equipment would have at least stayed affordable in all sports but because of huge endorsements the prices have skyrocked

MUST HAVE SLIPPED OFF OF POSH'S GREASY RIPPLED IMPLANTS

Hello, of course I came to visit your site and thanks for letting me know about it.
I just read this post and wanted to say it is full of number one resources. Some I am familiar with. For those who don’t know these other sites they are in for a treat as there is a lot to learn there.
