Not Very Clever, Becks

England captain David Beckham thought he had a fool-proof plan to make the most of his one-month hiatus from soccer due to a rib injury picked up this weekend against Wales: pick up a yellow card, his second of the current World Cup qualifying campaign, and serve the mandatory one-game suspension while injured, killing two birds with one stone. Brilliant plan, no? Yes, except he was dumb enough to admit to do it after the match! Such brilliance I have not seen since Dale Earnhart, Jr. admitted to intentionally spinning at Bristol to bring out a caution and keep from going a lap down. Sometimes, guys, it's better to keep that info to yourself.
