Ricketts Up for Save of the Week

Just as Michael Stephens blast was nominated for the Goal of the Week award yesterday, Donovan Ricketts has been nominated for the NAPA Save of the Week award today for his leaping save off a Steven Lenhart header.

You can see the save, which was one of four for Ricketts on the day, below and you can click here to vote on the award. The Jamaican international claimed the prize twice last season but is yet to win it this year.

30 Days of MEEEE!

And who else but someone as self involved as I am would do something like this all month long? Since I didn't do it yesterday, you get two today. You lucky readers, you!

Day 1: Your favorite song

This song is my all-time favourite of all time. In fact, I requested that it be played at my funeral. I know, morbid, right?

It's "Showtime!"

This weekend, Landon Donovan was the subject of CBS Evening News' Weekend Journal, which offered an in-depth look at "the most famous player on Team USA." Also, US Soccer unveiled Part II of their two-part look into Landon's loan with Everton. Did you miss Part I? Don't worry, we got you covered.

Below are links to both videos. But...

As if that wasn't enough, Landon is this week's Sports Illustrated Cover Story. The issue, which hits newsstands tomorrow, features Landon standing alongside Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard on the cover (see above).

So, get comfortable and enjoy the videos.
