Last year, David Beckham went undercover for the Ellen DeGeneres Show, acting out whatever Ellen told him to do through a tiny earpiece. The whole spectacle was caught on a hidden camera. It was so hilarious, Ellen got Beckham back on her show to take part in another hidden camera stunt.

This time, Beckham posed as a Target employee and sprayed passersby with his David Beckham Homme cologne. He mishears some of Ellen’s words and repeats some pretty hilarious things.

Check it out.

The UFC has agreed to sign a long-term deal with Fox that represents a major move towards the mainstream for the sport of MMA. Several sources, according to Street & Smith’s Sports Business Daily, have indicated that the network will air at least four MMA events per year.

While no numbers or facts have been confirmed by executives at Fox, reports say that the deal is for seven or eight years and could be worth around $90 million a year.

HBO’s “Hard Knocks” Is A No Go This Season

Even though it appears the NFL owners and players have reached an agreement, there is one casualty of the lockout. HBO’s successful behind-the-scenes NFL documentary series, “Hard Knocks” will not air this season according to a report from Peter King of Sports Illustrated. Although this has yet to be confirmed by HBO or the NFL, Peter tweeted the news Sunday night.

The series has documented several NFL teams including the New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens. What makes this show so successful is the inside look into what it’s like being on a pro football team. The film crew documents player/coach relationships, jokes and pranks, players’ family matters, the rookie adjustment and the battle for positions.

Here are a few of our favorite Hard Knock moments. First off is wide receiver Chad Ochocinco’s unique catch phrases followed by Jets coach Rex Ryan.
