Mike Magee for Goal of the Week

Magee

3 games, 3 goals, 9 points. If you are a New York soccer fan you've got to love the resurrection of Mike Magee. Five years ago he was a hot young prospect out of the Bradenton Academy, the future of the franchise. Yet only a year ago he was the injury-plagued ghost of Metro past. Not that my amateur analysis amounts to anything more than a barstool appraisal, but if the kid's hot streak retains it's momentum he may simultaneously fulfill the prophecy, exorcise a few demons and make himself a candidate for Comeback Player of the Year.

But in the here and now he's a candidate for the Sierra Mist Goal of the Week. If you didn't see him smoke Eddie Robinson then cook Pat Onstad's Canadian goose then you should watch it here. And if you're convinced that it is the most diabolical strike you've seen in the past seven days (Russia's attack on Georgia notwithstanding) vote for it here.

It was some cold, cold finishing for sure. It was also the second time Eddie Robinson got beat for a goal Sunday afternoon; one of the ball boys that was behind the goal swears he heard Eddie say "Ashton Kutcher come on out, this sh*t isn't funny anymore".

Oh my God pleas stop with the "sex on fire". And Punk'd references are so 3 years ago.

Since your Sex on Fire binge has begun I've listened to that song probably ten times in the past couple days. Damn you, I think I need to give it another play.

Sex on fire.

And I have to keep Punk'd in the public eye because the ad revenue on those reruns pay for my bonus. Sorry, I'm sucking from the MTV corporate teat.

Russia did not attack Georgia. Georgia attacked the people of South Ossetia, who are Russians, and the Russians went to defend their own people. Don't listen to mainstream media, it's biased.

What's not biased though, its Magee's goal on the canucks! WHOOOOOO!!!

If anonymous is going to get all technical about it, he should also ignore the MSM and do some web searching. Last I heard the whole damn thing blew up out of some local S. Ossetian separatists taking out a couple Georgian military people. Georgia responded. Russia responded. What a mess.

Sorry about that. But anonymous started it.;)
