Hey Brad

I have been a season ticket holder with the Columbus Crew since day one (I was six at the time, so really my parents were.) You were my favorite player the day you replaced Bo Oshoniyi. Even after you left for bigger and better things, I kept track of you at Liverpool, Blackburn, Villa, and now Tottenham, becoming a fan of each team just because you were there. Your work with the USMNT have left me with some of my favorite memories, particularly your two PK saves in the 2002 World Cup that I stayed up with my dad until stupid early hours of the morning to watch.

You inspired me to become a goalkeeper as well. I became the captain of my high school team and helped them reach the Ohio state quarterfinals, something that had never been accomplished by a team at my school before. After I graduated, I helped out as the team’s keeper coach. Not quite what you have achieved, but I’m still proud of it and your inspiration deserves a lot of credit.

So now to my questions:

  • I have told you that you were my inspiration to become a goalkeeper. Did any other goalkeepers inspire you over the years?

  • Similar question to the last; who is the best keeper of all-time? (Excluding yourself of course)

  • Which young (under 25) keeper do you think will be the next to become the consistent starter for the USMNT?

  • There have been some rumors in the last couple years that you would like to come back to the Crew in some capacity. Is this true? Please?

  • You threw a glove into the stands while playing at Crew Stadium with the USMNT a few years back. My sister caught it. She knows you’ve always been my favorite player so she rubs it in my face. Got a pair of gloves lying around that you’d want to send to me so I can return the favor?

That is absolutely my favorite line of the series. It's awesome on multiple levels too. Not only is it out of character for Kevin to even know something like that and question it, but it's also very in character... because it actually is a girl's name (I had to look it up). I laugh every time I watch it.
