I was going to make this a 3-times a week thing, but I just couldn't put this one off any longer. It's been bothering me for months now. With that, I have decided to make this a daily theme. I will take suggestions via Twitter (@Way_2_Tall401), Facebook (Too Tall), or you can just leave a comment.
Today's Athlete: Tim Howard, goal keeper for team USA.
- Ever since the middle of last summer, I have watched team USA participate in international competition and have followed their key players - Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Jose Altidore and Tim Howard - regularly. Throughout my time watching them, I have always been bugged with who Howard looked like.
After much deliberation and a random episode of MadTV, I have figured it out...Eugene Strothers. I couldn't believe it when I first saw the skit; but, then I looked again and I couldn't stop laughing.
It just makes sense. Who else could he be after taking USA soccer to a "Whole...NOTHA...Level!" (in case you were wondering, yes, I was doing the hand gestures as I typed this.)
To put it all in perspective, closely examine Howard's pictures that I posted, then watch this clip and tell me that it didn't make you laugh just a little bit harder...He has the high-water shorts - his soccer uniform - he has a bald head, and he also has large, beady eyes. What'd really set it off for me, is if Howard had a lisp. I don't think I would be able to handle it.
