DC United/LA Galaxy dream giveaway
August 4, 2007 by Svetlana
The results are in, thanx to everyone who entered, but Bobby had to pick only one…

I do not like green eggs and Beck-ham
I do not like him Sam I am
I do not like him with his Posh
I do not like when folks say “Gosh!”
I do not like him on the field
I do not like his sex appeal
I do not like him, he’s not Bos
I do not like him just because
I do not like the Galaxy
I do not like what’s not DC!
I do not like the twenty three
I do not like his reverie
I do not like him in the UK
I do not like him in LA
I do not like him here or there.
I do not like him anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and Beck-ham.
I do not like him, Sam-I-am.
Congrats Page!
———————————–
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you are aware that the LA Galaxy, with David Beckham in tow, is arriving next week (August 9th, to be more precise) to play D.C. United
It is, without a doubt, going to be the DC soccer event of the year. You know it.
And unless you’ve been hiding under several rocks you are also aware that the individual tickets to this are well, sold out for the general audience
But fear not-,
Due to endless kindness of D.C. United and Bobby Boswell, (the only athlete ever to be featured multiple times on BYT)
We are teaming up with BobbyBoswell.com
NOT ONLY a pair of tickets to the game
BUT ALSO
A pair of tickets to the invite only post game party at LIMA, with players present
It is going to be big.
It is going to be huge.
It is going to be humongous and you get to be there.
So, what do you have to do to get your hands on these?
It is simple:
Write a short essay/sonnet/poem/limerick of up to 200 words as to WHY you are especially deserving of this prize night with two of Major League Soccer´s hottest players.
Then either post it as a comment or send it over to
Svetlana@brightestyoungthings.com
by Wednesday August 8th at 8am.
And Bobby will pick the winner out whom we will announce the winner by the end of the work day that same day.
Visual aids welcome, if you are more creative that way.
And if you need some more inspiration go here
pen.paper.keyboard.in.hand and go.
Ben is my first love
Is there another? Rip my heart
with your ice-blue eyes.
I would greatly appreciate getting these tickets,
Because I love soccer, more then I love cricket.
I like D.C United because it is a very good team,
They play hard, and they could also play clean.
I’ve been too late, now the stadium is sold out,
I could watch the game on TV, their’s no doubt,
But I of course prefer being there to support you and shout.
I’m currently attending D.C United Elite Camp,
And there, we’ll watch the team train like champs.
I would love receiving these tickets of the game,
If I miss this historic event, it will cause me so much pain.
So this is it, my poem to be the winner, it would be great,
I’d be so happy if on the game date I’d be at the RFK gate.
I do not like green eggs and Beck-ham
I do not like him Sam I am
I do not like him with his Posh
I do not like when folks say “Gosh!”
I do not like him on the field
I do not like his sex appeal
I do not like him, he’s not Bos
I do not like him just because
I do not like the Galaxy
I do not like what’s not DC!
I do not like the twenty three
I do not like his reverie
I do not like him in the UK
I do not like him in LA
I do not like him here or there.
I do not like him anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and Beck-ham.
I do not like him, Sam-I-am.

August 6, 2007 at 9:15 pmlast time I checked – soccer was BORING
August 7, 2007 at 6:51 amLet me not to the meeting of two teams
Admit impediments, United no fallacy
Which falters when faced with a Has Been,
Or will fail to score against Galaxy.
Yes, United is a paragon
That rocks the field and wipes out all comers;
And with Adu gone to other pastures,
Beckham and Galaxy will go home goners.
United’s not going to be defeated
Nary a goal will score against our goalie,
Our strikes will hit their net unimpeded,
And Galaxy will crumble and fall
If I fail to tell truth and be wrong
Birds will fall from skies and never song.
(and hell I think it even fits the pattern)
August 7, 2007 at 3:27 pmThe Game…
He shoot, he scores!!!
the drumbeat and cheers of joy.
Bobby, Bobby … your the man!
If he can’t do it no one can.
Their is always a Bobby in everyone…
With the dream of being that star…
Starting young on NICK…
Contributing big on those promo pics…
you got us proud…
Since were only weeks away from
big wins with Super Liga and MLS Cup
No place to go…
but just straight to the top… UP,UP, UP~!
United We Are… United We Stand..
Beckham is the Image, Beckham is stamp…
Boswell is in need of a “Boswell Cam”.
ESPN2… wheres my star?…
with the jukes and moves at hand…
Where is the celebrity cam?
Roche, Prez Bush and even myself can be on hand.
So either in front of the tube or in front of the Barra Brava… I will always be on hand…
Hoping and praying that Benny doesn’t get a yellow card or a farmers tan.
August 7, 2007 at 11:05 pmThere once was a boy from Great Britain
He staretd playing soccer, Posh was smitten
He made all his money by looking pretty;
While the DC United boys played fast and gritty
I need to make it to RFK
This Thursday
So i can see the pretty boy get a DC ASS KICKIN!
I am not dying
I am not poor
I am not whining
For tickets I won’t whore
I love soccer
But i hate fado
If i spoke spanish
I could understand the games on Telemundo
Please if you give me this tickets
I promise to be more up on my game
I’ll order my tickets on time
So i never again have to write a poem this lame
So who won?
August 8, 2007 at 4:50 pmwaitin’ on Bobby to decide!
August 8, 2007 at 5:04 pmhe hasn’t played a game since he arrived, tomorrow isn’t going to be an exception
August 8, 2007 at 8:04 pmThat poem was lame,
i cant belive that chick is goin to the game.
Bobby doesnt know what’s up
I hope Beckham kicks his butt
Rigged.
