Becks did play for a short time and i believe DC won. They played in DC, which is about a 4 hr drive from here. Too far a drive for me, but my neighbors own a home there, so they were 'in the area'. Personally, I'd rather watch the USOpen (tennis) in NYC than a DCUnited game. We just dont have the hooligans and the barbwire that adds that extra bit of ambiance to the games. MV7 is Nike's Mike Vick line of highly un-sought after clothes/shoes.
