Dixon, Dixon, he's our man.
Just a quick link for everyone. The official Goal of the Week page is up and, as we all knew it should be, Alex Dixon's golaso is up for Goal of the Week. Follow this link here to vote for Atascocita's finest.
And, just to sweeten the pot for you, among the contenders is a certain Ghanian who shall not be named, some Irish fella and a pair of players to be named later. And after a quick look at them all through my orange colored glasses, I have to say, if that guy out in LA takes this, then we all know the fix is in.
And one other point, I nominate Jonathan Yardley for call of the week. I think he blew out the KBME capacitors with that yell. If you haven't heard it, check out the link two posts below this one.

First, if he lives up to his considerable promise then let it be known that Martek dubbed him first. Well done sir.
And I concur that after looking at the goals, while all very well and good, Dixon’s was simply the best, and when you add in the timing and context of the goal then it just puts it over the top. Sorry league. (And yes, if a certain new DP signing for LAG wins then truly the fix is in)
He deserves it
Like you said, the context of the goal makes it so much more deserving. While Zusi’s goal was very impressive, to score a goal, a game-winning goal, in the last 10 seconds of a match makes it the goal of the week
Jonathan Yardley...
why doesn’t he do the play by play or color commentary next to Glenn? Jonathan has a good play by play voice I think and Glenn is pretty amazing with his commentary, but sometimes it gets a bit lonely with only Glenn speaking.

An excellent question...
I think it’d be pretty nice to have those two play off each other…Glenn is always solid and knowledgeable and I love Yardley’s passion, especially in that clip
I think the simple answer to that is a numbers thing
Radio calls and TV calls are a different animal. Not that Yardley wouldn’t be good on TV as well, but you need a separate feed for TV and Radio. Radio needs to be much more descriptive of what is happening on the field. For TV people can see what is happening on the field so you can work off of that instead of having to describe it. So, if they moved Yardley into the booth with Glenn, they need to hire someone else to do the radio.

Yardley deserves Call of the Year credit for that one
Such passion, such energy, such satisfaction. This is how the beautiful game is supposed to be!
