Pretty cool. Never realized that the tics could also come with improved reflexes.

Those record 16 saves against Belgium might not have just been sheer athletic ability. Neurologist Oliver Sacks says the syndrome helps give the Team USA goalie ‘abnormal quickness.’

Howard said in an interview with Der Spiegel last year that he was in his late teens when he discerned a blessing amid the trials of Tourette’s.
“I realized I was faster than others when it came to certain movements, and that these reflexes were linked to my disorder,” he said.

Tim Howard is mixed races and faced some discrimination when playing as a youth in New Jersey.

That's a shame, though Tim Howard does appear to discriminate against strangers with bad haircuts.

I gotta go... Some squirrels fricking my tomatoes

Your tomatoes shouldn't dress like whores if they don't want to get fricked like them.

In 3 World Cups... (2002 and 2010, 2014) we've had one of the best keepers in the tournament and were never able to hang on and let them try their hands in a penalty shoot out.
such a shame.
such a shame.

when I first saw the video of howard at the airport I thought for sure it was Oribe Peralta trying to hug him.

Well Chris Jackson (now Mammoud Abdul-Rauf) in his prime at LSU was one of the quickest players I've ever seen. Maybe there's something to the Tourette's theoy
