OK, it's Friday, so that means Here's What I Think About That. OK, here we go......
The BPL starts tomorrow, and Thank God! REALLY looking forward to it. HWITAT: I think Man U sneaks in and wins the whole thing. I know, I know, I'm not a Man U fan either (I like Liverpool--always have), but I just think they are going to steal it. I think it goes right down to the last week.
Speaking of the BPL....Do we really think that Jose Morinho is still the 'Special One'? HWITAT: He's not so special lately. Pretty good, but not 'Special'. And who gave him that nickname? Him? Can't give yourself a nickname. (I'm not saying he did, by the way, I'm just saying you can't give yourself a nickname. Someone else has to). Jose seems to be too much "it's all about me"--know what I mean?
Who will be the top GK in BPL this season? HWITAT: I think it's Tim Howard. Coming off of a wonderful World Cup 2014 performance, Tim is at the top of his game, and I think he will be stellar in the Everton goal this season. Not just saying that because he's American (He's "Murican"), but I think he is at top-form.
Was getting new tires put on the car this morning, and by the way, have you bought tires lately? Jeez, they're expensive. Anyway, I was reading in ESPN The Magazine that only 32% of the professional in the BPL are English guys. That is amazing.
HWITAT: Way back in the NASL days, there was a similar demographic--about 32% of NASL players were 'Muricans" or Canada-born. The rest were English guys. It's the soccer 'Circle of Life', Simba.
Who wins the MLS this year? HWITAT: I'm going with the LA Galaxy. Just got a feeling. Who do you think? Do you really care? And, how come MLS has a play-offs? Why not just do it like the BPL and make every week an important match? I prefer that.
And finally.....it's 55 days until the NHL season. HWITAT: Cannot wait. The 3rd best day of the year is NHL opening day. 2nd best you ask? The beginning of the Stanley Cup Playoffs--best playoffs in sport. The best day? No question: Christmas. Easy.
OK, off to coaching this weekend. I'll be in Sewanee TN working with the GKs of both Men's and Women's Soccer programs at U. of the South. Looking forward to it. I'll keep you posted.
Enjoy your weekend, Good Luck Devin! He's playing in the Championship match of the Rocky Mountain Rugby Summer League and Vail is going for the '4-peat' against Steamboat Springs tomorrow. Hope I didn't jinx him and the team! Go Vail!
May the ground beneath your dive always be soft. May the 'other guys' hit every shot right at you. May your goalposts be 3 feet wide!
All the Best-EV
