Video Diary - Sun 6/20

Well, we're trying this again. Still utterly lacking in any competent content, but entertaining, and hopefully improving. I'll be a maestro at this by the time you come back, maybe. Couple extra thoughts:
-love new zealand.
-drank some so-so south african wine in your honor last night, wish I had purchased a better bottle.
-guitar hero is great
-really wish i was playing golf with you right now
-thank god silvers passport is en route
-did anything happen with the extra tickets? i'm fucked, aren't i?
-great goddamned write-up from fri. loved every sentance
-love pure's prediction. more videos, please.




laser show so relax

The New Yorker has a great feature on Tim Howard (6/7/10 edition)

Memorable quotes:

"Ferguson boasted that in his experiment with Howard he'd made a sort of anthropological discovery about the promise of American footballers. The Americans "are an athletic, agile race," he said. "You see the spring Tim's got. A lot of them play basketball, which possibly helps. And they don't believe they can lose - that's their upbringing."

also:

"In goal, they're trying to get the hall past you; you're trying to stop it," Howard says. "Anything else is just meaningless."

Just found this gem

We've got Tim Howard and he says f**k you!

His name is Tim ...

In response to questions about referees learning English swear words in preparation for the USA-England tussle, U.S. goalie Tim Howard said,

"So we've been warned to keep our emotions in check and watch our mouths, and I'm sure we're going to try to the best of our ability to do that. I don't think it will go 100 percent as planned."

In short, we are aware that we are going to completely lose it.
