There was a nice front page USA Today story about US goalkeeper Tim Howard. Tim developed into a starter and potential national team player with the MetroStars in MLS before being snatched away by Manchester United this summer. He quickly dispatched all other competitors for the starting job and has been a fixture in goal for United during their Premiership and Champions League campaigns. Wonderful to see the story on the front page (not the sports page) of a national newspaper, even if it did label the MetroStars as "little-known team in a sport little known in the United States." True, the MetroStars suck eggs (sorry, DC United fan here), but it's not like he labored in complete obscurity in the United States. He is definitely more recognizable on the streets of Manchester these days than he ever was in the swamps of Jersey.
