MorphWorld: Natasha Kai into a conehead
The caption of Bill Kostroun's photo reads, "U.S. Women's National Soccer Team player Natasha Kai walks off the field with training cones over her ears after practice Friday, June 22, 2007 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J."
Kai was one of the final three players added to the team's roster for the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup in China.
She's easily the most decorated player on the team, sporting 15 tattoos at last count.
The tournament begins September 11 with the U.S. team considered heavy favorites.
You wanna know how dumb I am?
Okay.
When I saw the picture above in USA Today and read the caption, I honestly thought that "training cones" as pictured were for improving field awareness via hearing.
Only when I did a Google search for "soccer training cones" did I twig.
Maybe I should drop the "Techno" from TechnoDolt™, what?

So the Google search returns cones that look like traffic cones that are used to set up sports training exercises. That's not what she's wearing over her ears, neither could I find anything about what cones over the ears facilitate in soccer training, but my guess remains the same as your first one. Please enlighten.
