From the release:

What: Beitashour will congraulate third and fourth graders at Goss Elementary for completing the Earthquakes’ five-week health and fitness program, Get Earthquakes Fit presented by Kaiser Permanente

Postcript: I happened to run into a City Year/San Jose Silicon Valley official who does service at Goss Elementary earlier this week. He's an FC Dallas fan, so as usual we chatted MLS, and he mentioned to me that Beitashour had recently appeared at Goss. He also said that Sharks star Joe Thornton had made an appearance about a month earlier but that the kids were far more excited to see Beita.

 

Earthquakes are giving two NPSL players from San Diego a tryout. One is a central defender, the other a speedy winger.

The team is coached by former Newcastle and England player Warren Barton, and the Player Talent Coordinator is Eric Wynalda.

 

Is it just me, or is there some Crazy George in there when Lenhart wears the throwback red Quakes jersey?

Still wondering - would one consider a root beer float to be "paleo"? It's a tough call - one of those borderline cases I guess. :--)

 

The way I see it - if Krazy George, back in the day, was a professional soccer player, he'd be Steven Lenhart, except a little more vocal .

 

Totatally! Just a bit more of a gut and he's George in '76, '77, '78, '79!

In the Paleo lifestyle, you avoid the kinds of foods that would not exist in primative cultures, so it is probably possible that 2000 years ago, or today right now in some remote areas of the Pacific, or Asia, or Africa, you might find some concotion that is based on sugar.

Think of it this way: If it takes a machine and/or a beast of burden to create the food, the food is not paleo. If you can hunt it, catch it on a line or in a net with your own hands, gather it, or plant it and harvest it on foot... It's paleo.

There is no way anything made from corn syrup, which is what your probably going to find in that rootbeer and that ice cream would be considered Paleo.

 

I was kidding about Paleo root beer floats, but OTOH how do we know that cavemen didn't have some kind of primitive ice cream maker, maybe using woolly mammoth milk and ice from a nearby pond?

And root beer is of course flavored with the root of a sassafras plant, which might have been available. Sweeten with a bit of cane sugar (which would of course be abundant when there are also frozen ponds nearby for ice ). Carbonation might have been a challenge, but they might have been good with flat root beer floats. Root bear flats, maybe?

 

Isn't the modern world awesome?

 

It is..

Funniest thing I've read on this forum in a long time is that joke Falvo pulled on Albany... "Pizza Pockets", cave men didn't have Pizza Pockets

 

They're a great team too. Had the pleasure of watching them for the last couple of seasons and they play a good brand of soccer (and have been incredibly dominant since they entered the league).
