    Lighten up. It brought me and the guys at the office about three minutes of fun to watch this little girl. We loved it.

    Same here.

    I don't know when it became a thing to get all high and mighty about youth sports, but I like seeing a kid excel athletically.

    I guess it would be better if they started a youth league to teach kids the best way to score drugs at the street corner.

    No doubt a lot of dismay from the youth soccer crowd who lost a top notch female athlete to football.

    I'm really taken back by the poor defensive coaching in that league. DE's need to learn to contain and OLB's need to learn to replace if DE's are doubled. :)

    Did you notice near the end of the video that she seems to have tackling skills mastered.

    I wonder if her mom will make her quit?

    I was going to try a joke about Auburn needing her but I see I'm late.

    I did. She hits like Ronnie Lott.

    What's the line on her next game? If I throw her a grand to go buy dresses and Barbie dolls instead of showing up at the field, I could make a killing.

    So you didn't watch the election results roll in?

    Hey, I'll be here all week ... on the politics thread!

    I saw a story that her dad had popped for agility drills and plyometrics. This girl has skills, but she's had training none of these kids have had, too.

    Also, I wonder how long she'll last. If she really got 290 carries, they're going to burn her out before she's 11. And look at the hits she's taking 3 minutes in -- she's taking some serious shots.
