Galaxy's Donovan Edges Closer to Bayern Move & More
Bayern Munich will decide next week whether to sign Landon Donovan from the Galaxy.
Donovan even took a bit of a swipe at David Beckham in the article when he rejected any comparison with Becks: "I am not a good-looking posterboy, I am a footballer," he said.
Ouch!
Meanwhile, Long Beach State is gearing up for its first-ever NCAA Tournament game tonight at UCLA's Drake Stadium.
Thanks to those readers who asked about my mum, BTW. She was evacuated last night because of the massive fire in Santa Barbara. She's safe and her little rented cottage has escaped the flames (for now) although the fire came very close and burned some homes just up the street.
As you can imagine I've had concerns other than blogging, but I'll return with more later, (the Santa Ana winds permitting).
