BECKHAM JERSEY WAR

A lot of things in this world got me shaking my head in disbelief-but THIS takes the cake…the Kerr and Ho family’s in Hawaii have both hired attorneys to settle a dispute over David Beckham’s soccer jersey. It started when their kids, ages 9 and 10, held up bright orange Beckham signs in the front row at Aloha Stadium Feb. 22. Following the match, Beckham ran over, pointed to one of the boys, and handed him his jersey.

“My son got it first from Mr. Beckham, directly. We agreed to let them borrow it from us, (but) before that happened we tried to clarify we were the owner and they proceeded to get upset so we never let them borrow it,” Wilfred Ho said. “The jersey is my son’s and I’m very upset with the behavior of the Kerrs and we’d prefer no more contact with them unless they apologize, but I don’t foresee that.” BUT, Eric Kerr said he told his son that Beckham noticed his sign because he ran right for the boys after blowing kisses in the corners of the stadium after the game. “He (Beckham) pointed out that he wanted our son to have it. How do you explain this to a 10-year-old?” asked Eric Kerr. “It’s been really hard on him. Why not let the kids share? He’s such a big star and it’s one heck of an experience for the boys. We just want (the Hos) to keep their end of the bargain.” Are-you-f*cking-kidding-me! Why don’t you people grow up and stop having children until you can act like adults? It’s a shirt for god’s sake.

ADAM SCOTT

Congratulations to Burberry babe Adam Scott, who earned his 6th career tour win at EDS Byron Nelson Championship Irving, Texas yesterday. Adam Scott: “I didn’t need to fine-tune anything. I just needed to get out here. … Obviously, it worked well.” Indeed it did. After Scott blew a three-stroke lead that carried into the final round, he made a 9-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to force a playoff. Playing it again on the third playoff hole, Scott made another birdie putt, a 48-footer that rolled over two ridges, into the cup, circled my ovaries and landed smack dab in the center of my libido. “I needed to walk out of here with a trophy,” said Scott, who also got $1.152 million. “I needed to go and close this thing out. It was tough, but I managed to do it.”

LEAVE JOSH HOWARD ALONE

Pa-leeze…this has gotten utterly ridiculous. In case you missed it, NBA babe Josh Howard (Mavericks) did a radio interview on the Michael Irvin Show about a week ago, where he said ‘Most of the players in the league use marijuana, and I have and do partake in smoking weed in the off-season sometimes.’ ” … What I was stating was just [in response to] a random question [the Morning News] asked me about the marijuana use,” Howard said. “I just let him know that most of the players in the league use marijuana, and I have and do partake in smoking weed in the off-season sometimes and that’s my personal choice and my personal opinion. But I don’t think that’s stopping me from doing my job…I was raised on being truthful and honest with myself and my family, so I can say it with no problems and go out there and perform to the best of my abilities (Friday) and not even think about it.”

So, in defense of Howard…props to him for being honest and not being bound by some invisible noose the Commish seems to be tightening every year. Sure, this could spark an “oooh, but what about the children discussion” to which I would reply-be a parent instead of letting the media school your kids. Also in defense of Howard, we all know that ballers are some of the biggest burners in sports. Are we now to expect some sort of crack down on drifty-hoopsters? From personal experience, I can tell you that Howard speaks the truth. Without admitting that I enjoy the occasional toke, I will admit that I’ve been to pa-lenty of parties with ballers enjoying the herb. Aside from a few posse members expecting free weed and ruining the reputation of their oh-so-famous and beloved Baller Posse leader, there’s never been any problems. The bigger problem rests with steroids and MLB. There are far too many incidents of sexual assaults and rapes suffered at the hands of MLB players who are juiced up and aggressive-being covered up by the powers to be that it makes me sick.

As always, thanks for reading.
