Jane Lindholm has a pretty good piece about the Galaxy tryouts up for NPR's Marketplace. Well, except for the photo that identified goalkeeper coach Tim Hanley as head coach Frank Yallop, implying that the Galaxy are paying David Beckham $250 million and giving World Soccer Daily host Steve Cohen more credence than he deserves (walk-ons aren't often signed by MLS) As far as the salary, though, I'll give Jane a bit of a break, because MLS set itself up by trumpeting the $250 million dollar number. Even after many publications clarified that it wasn't salary, wouldn't be paid by the league and is essentially a marketing number, people default to using it.

What are you talking about? That's clearly Frank Yallop flanked by Quavas Kirk and Alan Gordon. Duh.
Poor Q. He's going to have to work hard in thia preseason.
