2. Kraft made up for it
He invited her and her entire family to the game on Sunday, and she will be introduced on the field prior to the coin toss. I don't think anyone will boo her :D

8. She got to see the Colts lose, too. That might have helped as well. n/t

3. Oh, I've seen this happen before.
What I want to know is what is the gang sign that some of the contestants showed.

6. It's called the "Shaka" sign in Hawaii - it means "Hang Loose"
popular gesture among surfers and other laid-back folks.

14. Now, now, don't take your anger at Boston out on us.
Be mad at the Rockies.

15. That would be the *nine-year-old* contestant from Maui
gang sign?! That I've never heard before. :eyes:

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2008/Jan/15/br/br7259318046.html

Lahaina's Lalelei Mataafa won the National Football League's 2007 Punt, Pass and Kick national championship on Saturday in Indianapolis.

Representing the San Diego Chargers,
(!!) Mataafa won the girls 8-9 year-old division, with a combined distance of 240 feet, nine inches.

Mataafa blew away her competition, winning by over 55 feet. In addition, her total was 10 feet more than the winner of the girls 10-11 division.


Representing the Chargers. The same Chargers who were playing the Dolts that very day, and would eventually beat them on a late TD drive engineered by the clipboard holder. :rofl: Yet Ms. Mataafa, unlike her counterpart from New Hampshire, did not get booed. Hmmm... :shrug:

Imagine. A Hawai'i football player winning something on the mainland. Maybe the Woe-riors should've fielded a team of all women, rather than just "a coach named June".

5. Hey, she didn't take it personally - in fact she laughed about it.
Those assholes couldn't give her a better compliment.

12. She Said That A Friend Told Her. . .
. . .she was going to get booed. So she knew before that it would probably happen. She handled with grace, especially considering she's just a kid.

10. Champions of What
What were the kids champions of? I have been wondering since I saw the clip. I did not watch the game so I did not see that part. What championship did the kids win?
