I'm pretty pleased that I was the first, I believe, to get the response from the Galaxy and MLS that Beckham may be brought in early to the league.
But I could have had a bigger, albeit speculative, scoop on Wednesday. See, I was sitting next to Grahame Jones in the press box covering the InterLiga games (shout-out to www.interliga.com), and he was complaining about how Alexi Lalas wasn't returning his calls or emails.
Jones writes for the LA Times. He gets exclusives all the time, not only because he's a very good veteran soccer writer, but because it's the LOS ANGELES TIMES.
You don't stiff the Times when your sport is still growing and trying to get publicity. Unless something big is up.
Jones knew it, too. "Beckham is coming and I can't get anyone to confirm it," he said.
He was right.
