U.S. women's soccer team D Brandi Chastain has "been
flooded with offers" since last month's WWC Final, as she
has signed deals with Volvo, Nike, PowerBar and Gallery
Furniture "for all media and corporate appearances,"
according to Army Archerd of DAILY VARIETY. Chastain has
also mulled over "four or five autobio book offers, but has
said, 'Let's do it as a team.'" And though Chastain has
been offered "guest shots" on "Beverly Hills, 90210,"
"Sabrina" and "Dawson's Creek," her agent John Courtright
said that all were "nixed." However, Archerd writes that
for Chastain, who is "booked four days out of the week with
appearances," moving to TV "will eventually be the avenue
when she decides soccer is finito" (DAILY VARIETY,
8/25)....EA Sports has added U.S. women's team MF Julie
