Justin Bieber Escapes From His Box And Scares The Hell Out Of David Beckham

Fresh off watching his Inter Miami franchise lose its inaugural match to LAFC at Banc of California Stadium back on March 1, the legend that is David Beckham made an appearance on Ellen to chat about his wife, kids, club ownership and the time he went trick-or-treating at Justin Bieber’s house.

Perhaps avoiding news of slow sales for his upcoming "Changes" tour, the 26-year-old Canadian musician was entombed in a box next to Beckham and Ellen DeGeneres the whole time!

Upon hearing that Beckham neglected to name his youngest child after him, Justin — who was presumably in the box mumbling “that yummy, yum, that yummy, yummy, yeah, you got that yummy, yum, that yummy, yum, that yummy, yummy” for the previous six minutes — was summoned from his eternal resting place and gave old Golden Balls the fright of his life.

Later on, Beckham talked about how he’s enjoying his role as part-owner of Inter Miami while also seeing the impact of his time spent in MLS.

“It was just about giving back,” Beckham said. “Yesterday when I was in the stadium for our first game it just really felt that this was the moment that I’d always wanted. I had young kids coming up to me, boys and girls, saying: ‘The reason why we play this game is because you came to America.’

“And that’s what I always wanted from coming to America. Obviously I wanted to win championships, but more importantly I wanted to provide something that most places that I’ve played in have — a real kind of legacy and a real opportunity for children to play this great game.”

Beckham also says that his feet have grown since his playing days, going from a size 9 and 3/4 to a size 11. This might sound strange, but Beckham is 44 now, and as we age, the tendons and ligaments that link the bones in our feet lose elasticity. Our feet then become longer and wider, and feet can grow as much as a half size every decade after the age of 40.

Beckham’s just ahead of the curve here, and he’s looking at clown-size feet by the age of 75.

Santa Clara County bans gatherings of 1,000-plus after first death

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The status of three San Jose Sharks hockey games, the NCAA women's basketball tournament at Stanford and one MLS game are in doubt after Santa Clara County announced a ban of all large gatherings of at least 1,000 people for the rest of the month in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The announcement Monday came hours after the public health department announced the first death in the county from COVID-19. A woman in her 60s had been hospitalized for several weeks with the virus before dying. The ban will go into effect at midnight PT on March 11, and will last at least three weeks -- or until April 1.

Six more cases of the coronavirus were confirmed in Santa Clara County on Monday, bringing the total number of cases to 43.

Leagues close locker rooms over virus concerns

"Today's order and new recommendations will reduce the number of people who develop severe illness and will help prevent our healthcare system from becoming overwhelmed," said Dr. Sara Cody, Santa Clara County Health Officer. "This is critically important for anyone with healthcare needs, not just those most vulnerable to serious illness from COVID-19."

For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.

The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover. In mainland China, where the virus first exploded, more than 80,000 people have been diagnosed and more than 58,000 have so far recovered.

The Sharks have home games scheduled for March 19 against Montreal, March 21 against Boston and March 29 against Arizona.

There are no events scheduled at the SAP Center until a minor league hockey game on March 17. The team said it will abide by the order and is determining how to proceed.

"We will be reviewing each scheduled event due to take place for the rest of the month and provide an update in the coming days," the team said in a statement. "We appreciate the understanding and patience of our fans, guests and partners during this unprecedented time."

The team could play the games without fans, find a neutral site or play the games on the road.

"I don't think it would make a huge difference but it would be kind of weird because it would be really, really, quiet," Sharks goalie Aaron Dell said this weekend about the prospect of playing games without fans. "But if that's what they have to do, that's what they have to do."

The Stanford women's basketball team is expected to host the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament from March 20-22. Stanford is scheduled to host games in several other sports this month and the school said Monday night that all events remain scheduled as of now.

The San Jose Earthquakes have one home game scheduled this month on March 21 against Sporting Kansas City. The team didn't immediately respond to comment about plans for that game.
