The AP News Alert I just read at my desk was short, brief and to the point -- "David Beckham will stay with the Los Angeles Galaxy." The brevity of the announcement doesn't lessen it's impact or cut down its level of surprise.

In the last month almost all pundits, experts and talking heads predicted that Beckham and his management would figure out a way to keep the English midfielder at AC Milan beyond March 9. It didn't happen, since the Italian club apparently didn't even lodge a second bid before Friday's deadline set by MLS commish Don Garber.
