David Beckham is pretty damn good at soccer, and he's STILL good at 38 years old, with just a small amount of time before he officially retires. He's had 20 years to hone his skills, and countless trophies to show for it.

What was his one skill that he seemed to hone above the others?

THE FREE KICK!

Exhibit A (above): Head shaved, Beckham gets a free kick in the game against Greece in 2002 — and it's down to the wire. Not just any wire. England needed to score to have a chance at making the 2002 World Cup!

HOLY SHIZZ!!

Mind you guys, this isn't the only time he's pulled off an amazing free kick! In fact, it seemed to happen more often than not!

If you want more examples, be sure to ch-ch-check out the other videos AFTER THE JUMP! So fab!

The game will miss you, David!

All good things must come to an end, but David Beckham's legend will live on!

At only 38 years-old, David signed a five-month deal to join the Paris St. Germain in January, and straight up donated all his salary to charity. If that didn't tell you the end was coming — and he was just going to go out having fun instead of earning — well we're sorry this is coming as such a shock to you!

Here's what he said:

The more we hear about Jason Collins' coming out as a gay professional NBA player, the more we're surprised to hear how good he was at keeping it a secret! EVERYONE he told was shocked!

His parents were among those floored by his revelation, and it took them a few moments to wrap their brains around it before they outwardly offered their support. And by moments, we really do mean that — it wasn't as if it took them a month to come to grips. In fact, it was on their way home from getting the news, according to his mom:

It's pretty impressive that Colin Firth chose a role involving a sport he knew NOTHING about!

That's right! Even though he had no idea how to play golf and quickly found out that golf what's the sport for him, he delivered his performance anyway! We bet his awkwardness with it doesn't even shine through, though! THAT's a professional actor!

LOLz!

Which is a good thing — we don't mean that David Beckham went over to China to tour around kicking people in the testicles. That'd be awful!

LOLz!

David arrived in Beijing yesterday, and whole-heartedly accepted the role as “soccer ambassador to China.” He'll be doing a lot, too: from appearing at league matches to local sports clubs, he'll be promoting soccer and all of its benefits to the nation's youth!

Adrian Peterson is a fantastic football player for the Minnesota Vikings. He wears purple. He's so good, that people liken him to Jesus.

Thus, he is the Purple Jesus! LOLz!

Anyway, he's one the greatest running backs of all time, and yet he says he's never going to let his son play football!!

Tony Hawk is on a warpath to get skateboarding to be recognized as an official Olympic sport — and we say, if snowboarding is allowed, why isn't skateboarding??

Tony was asked about wrestling getting the Olympic boot, here's what he had to say:
