receiver number three: Tyra Banks.

Don't forget

what I told you, set your feet.

Do it like we said, all right? Ready?

- Ready.

- OK. Load up. Load up.

Hit Beyonc.

Bam!

That's what I'm talkin' about.

That's what I'm talkin' about.

All right, one more time.

Here we go. One more time. Come on.

Load up, load up.

Get ready, get ready.

Foxy Brown, hit her, hit her.

- Ouch!

- Whoo! Whoo!

- Man, right on.

- That girl's a phenom!

That's what I'm talkin' about.

Come on, load up, load up, load up.

Tyra. Hit her! Hit her.

- [gasps]

- [cheering]

Slayed that thing, girl!

I'm gonna go out for a pass, all right?

You gotta learn how

to hit a moving target, OK?

You ready to hit me now, all right?

Gotta go!

Beyonc!

Whoo! Yeah!

That was sweet!

Curtis got himself

a pro player out there now!

That girl throw that ball! That's what

I'm talkin' about now, that's football.

- That's football!

- [Curtis] You're good, girl!

You might be my niece after all.

So how have things

with Curtis and Jas been going?

Everything seems OK. I think they just

sit around and read books.

[both belch]

Man! I can't believe you live

in this place. It's so messy.

Is that my book? Man, I been

lookin' all over for this thing.

What's it doin' here?

- Have you been reading this?

- Yeah.

I saw how much you was into it,

so I just gave it a shot.

- And?

- It's good. I like it.

It's a good book.

Well, I read it two times.

You can have it.

Is this your yearbook?

Mm-hmm.

Don't laugh.

[Jasmine laughs]

Is this you?

Man, you look so funny.

That's me,

and then that's your daddy.

All right, let's just close that.

I'll show you later.

[exhales]

I should be getting you home.

OK.

No! No, you don't throw the ball!

It's an option play, right?

Option means you keep the ball

or you run with the ball

or you pitch the ball.

The man's shoulders are up-field,

what do you do?

Yes, go, do it again!

- Honest to God!

- [boy] Hut, hut!

- [whistle blows]

- [boys grunting]

This is where you're supposed to pitch

the football! What is hard about that?

You know what, guys? I would like

to win one football game, just one!

But we can't win a game

if we can't pitch a football!

- No way!

- Why not?

'Cause I'm a girl,

and girls don't play football.

What you think we been doing for

the last couple of weeks, crocheting?

It's just you and me having fun

so we don't die of boredom.

It doesn't mean I want to try out

for some stupid football team.

But you're good at it.

Right? Now, you owe it to yourself if

you're good at something to pursue it.

Let me show you somethin'.

Come on, let me show you somethin'.

These my conference MVP medals,
