Great Moments in Own Goal History
Back in the day (1998) when I was a Revolution Season Ticket Holder and part of the Midnight Riders, they published a magazine (fanzine) called Pictures of Chairman Mao, which was the funniest magazine I’ve read in a long time. I still cry to this day when I pick up one of the old publications becuase they are so funny. I remember one day they were organizing a bus trip to NY for the MetroStars game and they had a big photograph that said “Great Moments in MetroStars History” which was a picture of Nicolai Caricola (I probably mangled his name, sorry) scoring an own goal against the Revs giving them a 2-1 win. Eric Spurlock and Evan Whitney, whereever you are, that article was hysterical
Well last night in an episode of history repeating itself, Carlos Mendez tried to do a backpass that the NY GK missed, scoring a goal. It’s another greatest goal ever…it’s been a while since I’ve seen an own goal like this. And the fact it’s NY against NE makes it even grander.

Anyway, I forgot to mention that Tiger Woods comes out this week. So there you go.
