NFL® Punt, Pass and Kick at Encampment!

On Monday, early in the morning through fall and winter, all of the Yeti family gathered in our cave, and we would sit down to watch NFL® games on our handmade television set after playing catch outside.  My older brother was a Bears fan, but my dad always cheered for who he thought the hometown boys were, the Bengals.  I never had the heart to tell Dad that Cincinnati was not in Nepal (where you find actual Bengal Tigers) but half a world away in Ohio (where the state animal is the Airstream Trailer).  Not that anyone would ever really want to go to Ohio, since, well, it’s too much like Ohio.

I digress.  But, I always wanted to be a football player.  I practiced punting, passing, and kicking whenever I could, but I still was stuck playing defensive lineman. 

Now, my lucky day is here!  I can now participate in the NFL® Punt, Pass and Kick competition at Expedition Encampment in April!

One of the nice things about Punt, Pass, and Kick is that the name says it all.  How far (and accurately) can you pass?  


How far (and, if you’re Cincinnati, how often) can you punt?  


And, how far can you place kick?  See, it's all in the name.


I look forward to punting, passing, and kicking at Expedition Encampment.  Who knows?  Several NFL® quarterbacks started out in Punt, Pass and Kick program.  Maybe I will be the first Yeti from Tibet in the NFL®.

As long as the Bengals don't draft me.
