Tim Howard plays it cool

"Act like you've been there before."
It's the argument against doing a flashy dance after scoring a touchdown, a reason why people liked Barry Sanders handing the ball to the referee.

Maybe that's why Tim Howard acted the way he did after scoring for Everton against Bolton today. Or maybe it's because he didn't want to show up his fellow goalie. Maybe it was utter shock at what he had just done ... and by that I mean scoring a goal, not being an American other than Clint Dempsey or Landon Donovan actually putting a ball in the net (although that's only slightly less shocking).

But whatever the reason, Howard seemed awful nonchalant after scoring, especially since it's probably a place he hasn't been in a long time ... or ever.



That's all well and good, but c'mon ... he's a goalie. What would have been wrong with cutting loose a little bit?
