Who's in Amy's Belly? Round 2

After much deliberation, we've landed on the second "winner" of the so-called Belly Contest.

Julius Peppers.


Why Peppers, even though the Panthers have eliminated themselves from the playoffs?

Three reasons:

(1) Baby Davis-Ross has started kicking in earnest. I'm not sure if I'll ever get bored with watching the baby kick. It's the weirdest thing ever. So, BDR has earned herself the nickname "Sir Kicks-a-Lot." This naturally lead to a discussion of putting a kicker in the belly - someone like Adam Vinatieri. But...

(2) What if BDR's a boy? We've been really consistent about referring to the fetus as a girl. So, we need someone a little more...manly...inhabiting the womb, to balance all of that "she" and "her" talk. Frankly, kickers don't cut it. But defensive ends do.

Could a girl tackle like this?

(3) Why not Peppers? Two sport athlete, great name, good career. Did I say two sport athlete? It's an obvious choice.
