David Beckham sorted out his locks

After his recent lanky, centre parting hairstyle we’re glad to see that David Beckham has finally trimmed and sorted out his locks.

And doesn’t he look so much the better for it? We spotted the footballer as he stepped out for a meal at Rio Ferdinand’s restaurant in Manchester in last night. Later today however Becks is expected to hop on a plane and jet to New York where he’ll be surprising his pregnant wife for a Valentine’s treat.

The former Spice Girl is currently in Manhattan gearing up for Fashion Week so Becks has lined up a special present for her. A source blabbed:

“He has booked a candlelit dinner at a Manhattan restaurant for Monday and is planning on whisking her off to Brooklyn Bridge – the inspiration for their eldest son’s name.”

Meanwhile we’re doing nothing on Valentine’s day. Life’s just not fair sometimes is it?

kaepernick best new2009 nevada

A three-sport star at Pitman High School in Turlock, California, Kaepernick passed up a promising baseball career as a pitcher in order to play football. Kaepernick was nominated for all state in football, basketball, and baseball his senior year. He was the MVP of the Central California Conference in football leading his school to its first ever playoff victory. In basketball he was a first team all CCC selection at forward and lead his 16th ranked team to a near upset of the number 1 ranked Oak Ridge Trojans in the opening round of playoffs. In that game Colin would score 34 points but it wouldn't be enough as Ryan Anderson would score 50 to best the Pride.[citation needed]Although Kaepernick achieved most of his accolades in high school as a baseball pitcher and received several scholarship offers in that sport,[1] he desperately wanted to play football in college. Although he was 6'6" (1.98 m) as a senior, he only weighed 170 pounds (77 kg); his coaches generally kept him from running the ball to limit his risk of injury.[2] Also, despite his strong arm, he had poor throwing mechanics.[1] During his junior year, Pitman's head coach at the time, Larry Nigro, made a highlight tape which Colin's brother Kyle copied to DVD and then sent to about 100 Division I-A (now FBS) programs, receiving no interest.[1] Even as a senior, he received little attention from FBS schools, with Nevada being the only one to show substantial interest. Although the Wolf Pack coaching staff frequently watched video of his high school team, no one came to Turlock to see him play during his senior football season.[2] Wolf Pack head coach Chris Ault decided to offer him a scholarship after one of his assistants, Barry Sacks, saw Kaepernick dominate a high school basketball game on an evening he was suffering from a fever of 102 °F (39 °C). Nevada was the only school that offered him a football scholarship, but was still concerned that he would opt for baseball until he signed in February 2006.He was a two time all state baseball player in California and was listed as a draftable prospect on Major League Baseball's website in the class of 2006. He earned Northern California athlete of the week honors as a pitcher. He was reported to throw a 94 MPH fastball as a senior in HS as reported on ABC by commentator Dan Fouts during his first football action vs. the Nebraska Cornhuskers. He was also a member of the Brewers Grey squad in the 2005 Area Code games. During his senior year, Kaepernick pitched two no-hitters in high school play. He also turned down numerous scholarship offers to play baseball at many notable NCAA programs instead taking his lone scholarship offer to play quarterback at Nevada.[citation needed]

Colin lived in Fond du Lac WI until age 4, before moving to Turlock California. He considers Turlock his home town, and attended elementary, junior, and John H. Pitman High School there. He currently spends most of his time in Reno, Nevada attending school and playing football for the University of Nevada Wolf Pack. He is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
Kaepernick, who graduated in Dec. 2010 with a bachelors degree in Business Management , has a relatively unassuming personality off the field, as evidenced by an incident that took place during the summer of 2010 interning at a University of Nevada-themed sports apparel shop in Reno. One woman came in and, completely unaware she was speaking to Kaepernick, asked him to find his jersey. A manager at the store would later recall, "Colin said, ‘I’m pretty sure it’s No. 10, and it’s right over here.’ He rang up her purchase and everything."[1
