Sportsmanlike Conduct of the Day: Everton goalie Tim Howard scores against Bolton from 100 yards away, remains classy as f*ck while doing so.
“I let him know that I was feeling for him,” the US national team member told Sky Sports after speaking with Bolton keeper Adam Bogdan. “It’s not a nice place to be. I’ve been there before, a long, long time ago, and that was why I didn’t celebrate.”
Despite Howard becoming only the fourth goalkeeper in Premier League history to score a goal, Everton went on to lose the match 2-1.
This brightened my day until Bolton scored two goals. Oh well, an American scored for Everton today and it wasn’t Landon Donovan!

I refuse to let this year suck.
It’s been a strange year for music. There wasn’t a definitive album or three that everyone agreed on, people somehow enjoyed Bon Iver, Tyler the Creator flamed out into a snowball of annoyance leaving only “Yonkers” behind, and I had to stop using the term “dubstep” for good. Even if this year’s albums underwhelmed me and the Avalanches failed to put out a new record for the 10th year in a row, there were still plenty of incredible tunes in good ol’ 2011. I’m never one for undertaking these sorts of massive projects, but with my laptop breaking earlier this month it seemed like as good an excuse as any to create an arbitrary list for my new computer. The top 100 below with three gigantic zip files. See you all in 2012!
