Just an observation about football goal posts. Have you ever tried to kick a football through the goal posts? It is much more difficult than you may think even for short-field goals. Kudos to those athletes who can do this and do it at long yardage.
Yes, I used to pretend I would someday kick in the NFL. I could kick about a 25-30 yard FG. Not easy.
I tried about 5 yrs ago at Underhill when I asked some kids who had taken a break if I could take a shot with their ball and tee. To their amusement, I missed the first 20-yarder, but I "made" the second. I say "made" because it was a low line drive that barely cleared the bar, would definitely have been blocked in a game situation.

I agree, not as easy as it looks.
