Michael Bradley: Baby's All Growed Up Now

BabyB

They say if you love someone, set them free. Well at least Sting said it in that one song back in the 80's but there probably is some truth to it. But when you love something as utterly dope as Michael Bradley, how do you do it? How do you part with something as young, fresh, and new that is now scoring goals in Europe like it's his job (which it in fact is)? I don't know how Metro did it but, I'm glad they never loved me like that.

Remember when he was a Metro? Seems like ages ago but there where undeserved cries of nepotism even back well before big Bradley got the national team job. The kid proved he had the really had the skills in addition to the pedigree though when he scored the goal that put his team through to the playoffs.

But then the boy left to become a man. He's been killing it over in Holland all season long but as of late it's gotten absurd. Hat tricks, transfer talk, and even goals for the senior national team…seriously, are we talking about Baby Bradley or CR7 here? I mean look at this spin move, and sweet pass.



Vince Young dreams that he could do that. Did you see his whiplash-inducing header last weekend against AZ Alkmaar?



Straight fire. What about the one he scored yesterday (about 2 minutes into this clip), his 13th of the 2007/2008 campaign?



Somebody call Dr. Meredith Grey because this man is sick.

I'll say it again…how do you let this go?
