This might seem far-fetched, but our soccer athletes are phenomenal kickers (since, you know, they can't use their hands) and would probably be more consistent than Blewitt or Wright. And I don't know about you, but I'd pay to see some of our very own uber-attractive soccer girls in gridiron action...
