KC Offer Potential Jet Pack Tragedy in Lieu of Beckham
What do you do when you have upwards of 25K people coming to game that less than 10K actually want to be at? You give then free parking. You give them a Beatles cover band. You give them fireworks and autographs. And obviously you give them a damn jet pack, a device in which every flight seems to have a good chance at going tits up.
These are just a few of the consolation prizes being awarded to Wizards ticket holders for tomorrow nights match versus the Beckham-less Galaxy. Hey, at least it's not free hot dogs and pony rides for the kids. And for once this season the ESPN game will actually have a big crowd on hand. Check out the slate of events…I'm more of a scotch or whiskey man but I might be down to hang out on the Martini Corner.

I remember going to Anfield as a teenager and the biggest pre-match entertainment was a life-size Crown Paint pot stuck in the centre circle.
After a couple of hours of listening to some old duffer (he's still there now) trying to get enthusiastic about playing the latest chart releases (and his favourite song was Peter Wiley - Story of the Blues! - which was a tad ironic) a team of stewards would come on the pitch. The paint pot was split into two and carried off.
Now that was entertainment!
