Adidas has decided to go viral with two of its biggest spokesmen: Heisman winner Reggie Bush and celebrity footballer David Beckham. The idea is that they meet up on a big field, half of which is set up for soccer and the other half for football, and try to learn each other’s sports.

These guys are two of the most famous (if not the best) players in their respective games and both have pretty bankable personalities, so the result is surprisingly engaging and kind of awesome. The video has some semi-embarrassing moments for both athletes: you’ve got Bush completely failing to bend it like Beckham, and Becks pretty much just throwing like a girl. There are some cool moments, though, one of which is a kind of amalgam of the two sports where Beckham plays quarterback with his foot and kicks the soccer ball to Reggie Bush, who's running a wideout pattern.

Despite their different skill sets, the two stars have something in common: everyone is waiting to see what happens with them. Will Reggie Bush live up to the hype and be one of the greatest running backs ever? Will David Beckham single-handedly catapult soccer into the realm of major US sports? Only time will tell, but part of me hopes they do, just so we can see more of them.

On Monday Night Raw, the supposedly "dead" Vince McMahon, owner and CEO of WWE, shared sobering news of the death of wrestling superstar Chris Benoit and of Benoit's family. By Tuesday night, though, the facts had come forward that the demise of Benoit and his family was at the hand of Benoit himself.

So on Tuesday night, after remembering Chris Benoit as a hero just 24 hours earlier, McMahon cannot distance himself from Benoit quickly enough. And who could blame him? Early reports suggest that the "Canadian Crippler" murdered his wife and son over a two-day period before hanging himself. Now, there are obvious reasons why Mr. McMahon, and the WWE by extension, cannot discuss Chris Benoit any further (reasons such as a police investigation), but to make such a show of actively distancing wrestling from Benoit is about seven different kinds of shady. The outrage sparked by the Benoit tragedy has pointed the spotlight squarely on the lifestyle of professional wrestlers: over the last twenty years, pro wrestling has accounted for more premature deaths among athletes than virtually all the other major sports combined. A brutal travel schedule and heavy steroid abuse are but two of the reasons for the rampant physical and psychological breakdowns. Pro wrestling's lack of accountability is another.

The saddest part of all is that the big wrestling machine will just keep chugging along, as is clearly exemplified by John Cena -- a man not fit to carry The Rock's jock -- sprinting into the ring in front of a sell-out crowd without any fear of reprisal. And that is the real tragedy.

Some people might say a rivalry is not a rivalry if one team wins all the time. Those people will always be right. However, there is no denying that there is an extra level of intensity, of venom, of desire when the US and Mexico hook up on the soccer pitch. It's a battle, both chippy and brutal.

Yesterday, a spectacular goal from 22-year-old Benny Feilhaber, in only his eighth appearance with the National Team, crushed Mexican hearts once again, as the United States lifted the Gold Cup as champions of CONCACAF (Confederation of North and Central American and Carribean Football). There are few things sweeter in sports than a cracking volley off a corner kick.

This latest defeat in Chicago furthers Mexico's ineptitude in the States, leaving "El Tri" winless on America soil since 2000. That's bragging rights, right there, and another feather in the Americans' cap when it comes to dominance within the region.
