You Write the Caption: The Beckham-Ref Edition

Welcome to the latest edition of You Write the Caption. It has been a while since we had a caption contest, but today felt like a good day to have one.

Today's subject is David Beckham (surprise), who has won back some of the MLS fans he lost with his whole AC Milan experiment (pun intended). Beckham got into a bit of a discussion with referee Baldomero Toledo that seemed perfectly-suited for some comedy.

Here's the pic, now you bring the captions:

("Bend it like Baldomero makes no sense!!!!" "Yes it does David, it's gold.")

That was the SBI stab at the caption. Now it's your turn. Submit your best caption suggestion and we will pick the ten funniest captions and let readers vote on the best one. The winner of the caption contest will receive an SBI Mafia T-shirt from SBI sponsor Objectivo Apparel. If you haven't already gotten your SBI Mafia T-shirt, order yours today.

  1. A staring contest (or blinking contest) is a game in which two people stare into each other’s eyes and attempt to maintain eye contact for a longer period of time than their opponent. The game ends when one participant intentionally or unintentionally looks away. A popular variation of the game exists in which the participants not only attempts to maintain eye contact, but also must resist the urge to blink; creating a physical challenge as well as a psychological one. Most other variations revolve chiefly around either of these two core objectives, with some prohibiting virtually any action but staring (laughing, making a face, winking, nodding, talking, touching, bobbing, etc) and others allowing the aggressive use of these same actions to force an opponent into defeat.
