Joe Cannon was one of the best goalkeepers in MLS history. He was a key factor in San Jose Earthquakes 2001 MLS Cup win. And he was 2002 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year. Cannon later won the same award for the Colorado Rapids in 2004, and over the next two seasons helped his team to the Western Conference final.
For 2007 he was surprisingly traded to the LA Galaxy, and would soon play with David Beckham. Cannon joined the show to talk about his one season with the Galaxy -- Beckham's first. He shared stories about how the team handled the arrival of a global superstar, how the roster shifting created challenges and more.
