Kansas Crimson

This is a joke/novelty. Nothing more.
Some team is going to find a spot for her just to kick field goals?
She's not going to kick off. If she did/does, she would get destroyed.
I would love to see one of her field goals get blocked. Then what? Some 300 pound guy decides he wants to break her in half?
Let's review. She has leg strength. So do the majority of all MALE professional soccer players.
Why are none of them being discussed as NFL kickers?

1. Male soccer players are known stereotypically as floppers. No one watches football to see floppers.
2. Well, the male soccer players cost more than the women soccer players.

In the end, it wouldn't matter her size if she's a kicker.
A number of kickers have no business trying to tackle someone on special teams.
It would be more about leg strength and accuracy -- which I think is far more difficult than what they are implying with her making a practice kick or two.

wasn’t it Kathy Ireland that was in the movie about this back in the 90s?

Those videos also showed Carli taking like 4 step running start to kick them in. It's way different than a 2-step start, which is the norm.

I'm not saying she can't do it, and she obviously can kick a ball farther than most men. I'm just saying that 99% of soccer players and football players can't kick FG's successfully in the NFL regardless of sex.

It would be a good way to increase attendance and media at a preseason game though.

There was sumptin that happened today that we wuz never supposed to forget...can anyone remember?

This looks easy:

Sauteed Green Beans

I would drain the bacon grease before adding the butter, and add the almonds closer to the end so they'll retain some crispness.

Thanks. I was thinking maybe a green bean dish, and that sounds good.

I was also thinking of just doing the salad I make myself like every night:

Arugula, walnuts, Parmesan, and maybe some bell pepper and or onions.

Beaver says I’m weird cuz he doesn’t like arugula, but I love it, and think it could be a unique flavor for a pot luck.

What do you guys think?

You gotta throw some quinoa into that mix.

A salad sounds good. I like arugula, too. But, some people think it's too bitter. Unfortunately, we've been breading the bitterness, (and therefore the nutrition), out of our vegetables, for years.

In Eating on the Wild Side, author Jo Robinson reveals how the nutrition and flavor has been bred out of supermarket fruits and vegetables. Robinson tells us what we can do to reclaim our wild roots and the nutrition from our foods.

...I like to grow heirloom veggies in my garden and we think the heirloom varieties has more natural form and more flavorful, and you say that we have to go way further back than just a generation to regain those nutrients that we lost.

ROBINSON: The research shows that we've been breeding nutrients out of our plants since we first became farmers 10,000 years ago. We didn't mean to. Basically we were modifying wild plants to make them better tasting and easier to produce and easier to prepare, and it's only been in maybe the last 15 or 20 years that we're understanding the consequences of those early choices.

...Well, all of us are highly adverse to very bitter flavors because we're programmed that way because many poisonous plants are very bitter or astringent or very sour, and so we wouldn't be here if we loved really bitter flavors. But there's a big difference in how much bitterness people like according to which country you live in. And it looks like we're the world wimps when it comes to bitterness.

You know, our light beer is, like I think on the bitterness scale, is a four, and there's some German pilsners that are 100. So yes, for a combination of reasons we have really bred the bitterness and, now we know, these important compounds called phytonutrients out of our food.

Sorry I missed this. How's about a nice Jell-o mold.

99 ftw!

Canned cut green beans and a can of Campbell's mushroom soup.
