'Bout dang time we heard a good girl power story, what with all the ridiculous misogynist ranting in the news lately: 6-foot-tall LSU goalie Mo Isom (Mo is short for Mary Morlan) is such an amazing kicker that Tigers football coach Les Miles is giving her a much-coveted tryout to kick for his team in the fall.

That's right, the football team. The completely male football team.

You go, Mo!

It gets even better. Because after everything Mo Isom has been through, it's a miracle she's a successful athlete at all -- never mind a successful female athlete on the verge of busting into a male-centric sport.

And you thought they were gonna quit after Harper! Turns out David Beckham wants MORE kids with wife Victoria Beckham. Well, probably. He's definitely not opposed to more children, anyway. Seriously, that's what he says:

'We might have one more or two more, you never know. We're not thinking about it yet, but if it happens, great. We're enjoying the kids as it is. It's always a thought.''

Like I said, he totally wants more kids! In my opinion, anyway. And guess what else? I bet I know why.

Here's the thing: So far the Beckhams have Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 9, Cruz, 7, and the outrageously adorable Harper, 7 months. That's 4 kids, total, right? Think about it ... what would David Beckham have if Victoria popped out 5 more of those babies??

You know all about yoga's health benefits already: The practice promotes relaxation, flexibility, strength ... toned glutes, lean legs, etc., etc.  But I bet you didn't know going to a yoga class can literally save your life. And I mean a yoga class, singular.

Just ask Hope Solo.

Hey, I thought we were talking about yoga -- what's with the soccer reference?

Well, that's just the thing. Hope Solo and the rest of the U.S. Women's National Team owe their lives to yoga, seriously! If the soccer players weren't busy Downward Dogging and Tree Posing at a yoga class in one area of their Vancouver hotel, they might have walked right into the gruesome scene unfolding in another area of the hotel at the same time!

It's like Christmas all over again in the soccer universe this week. David Beckham has decided to stick with his team in the states! Well, that, and he's sharing his half naked body with the world to promote his new underwear line for H&M.

Soooo, which one are you celebrating today? Come on, that time clock is ticking ... Don't be shy!

David Beckham signs autographsDavid Beckham is apparently quite cool with having a movie star buddy who is also a totally crazy Scientologist who jumps on couches. He and Tom Cruise have been BFFs for a while, but only recently has Tom been trying to convert him ... into a Hollywood actor, that is. Yeah, apparently Tom's been hounding Becks to try his hand at action flicks.

Becks seems amenable to the idea, but he has one requirement: That any movie he stars in has sports involved. Well, yeah, obviously!! It's not like anyone would expect an athlete (and occasional pretty boy model) to sign on as Hamlet or whatever. Clearly, Becks' foray into film would have to be "athletically-spirited." And Tom's down with that, reportedly, but he also has his own caveat: He gets to play the hero, while Becks plays the villain, because as Tom has said of him before, "He would make a great baddie." Hahaha, wow.

Fightin' words with hateful overtones -- or, okay, sometimes in-your-face racism attached -- are sadly nothing new in sports. Unfortunately, the past year alone has brought us various nasty incidents in which pro athletes have butted heads and then mouthed off with a slur (hey, Kobe, what's up?). There have even been racist incidents involving fans. All the while, you'd think soccer might be one of the sports that could rise above it. It's so internationally beloved, after all, you'd think the players would be worldly enough to not say despicable things to one another. But no. They still do, and FIFA president Sepp Blatter (unfortunate name, eh?) has the solution ALL sorts of wrong!

He recently said he thought disputes related to racism on the field could be settled simply with a handshake at the end of the game. Oh, please! Thankfully, football's got another figurehead with a lot more common sense: Sexy superstar David Beckham to the rescue!

David Beckham had better watch out. A kid named Charlie Jackson is being hailed as the future of British soccer. Oh yeah, and the kid signed by professional club Manchester United is just 5 years old. They got to him just in time!

Raised your eyebrows, didn't I? I admit the first time I heard that soccer clubs tend to recruit 'em so young they can't even reach the cookie jar on the counter, I suffered a bout of moral indignation. But after three seasons watching my now 6-year-old play team soccer, I'm convinced this is the only way for a team to go.

Aww, poor Hope Solo. No wonder the 30-year-old Olympic soccer star was "inconsolable" after being kicked off Dancing With the Stars. I mean, the girl is kind of on a losing streak.

It was just a few months ago that Solo helped team USA make it all the way to the 2011 FIFA World Cup semifinals in Germany ... only to watch her side go down on penalties to Japan.

Now she'll be forced to forever live with the fact that her Argentine tango with DWTS partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy didn't quite hit the mark, either. And she was so close! Both times!
