Welcome home, Becks

You knew David Beckham was going to get it when he finally returned to his home team, the Los Angeles Galaxy, but it sounds like the game was a little rough.

Playing against AC Milan (that's right, the team that the prodigal Becks ran away to before returning to L.A. to leg out the season) for his first night on home turf probably didn't help.

Time away from the team that is paying him a pantload is always a sore spot for fans and Major League Soccer, but this offseason added it on with a spate of controversy about Beckham's devotion to the team and his treatment of Galaxy star Landon Donovan (which I wrote about here).

Check out a story about Beckham's first night back, and stay tuned to see what the future will hold, the main options being: (A) Beckham rising like a phoenix from the smoldering ego ashes, (B) censorship and fan removal at games or (C) those "gestures" from Beckham mentioned in the game story turning into something a little more.
