Discovery Plaza is the 1000 square foot forecourt leading to the Card Cyber Museum - a daily exhibition of 60 sports cards waiting to be discovered beneath your feet! Inspired by the forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, where celebrities leave their handprints in concrete, our Plaza features digital frames embedded in the ground - beneath bulletproof glass. Each day brings a new rotation of cards showcasing the incredible sets found within the museum.

Though there have been many men who could punt and drop, or place kick, the writer advises young players to specialize in one type of kicking. The arc of the leg's swing for punting is different than the swing for the drop kick. In punting the foot meets the ball well out in front and several feet above the ground, being struck with the instep. In drop kicking the foot just skims the ground and...
