Once a year, during the book crunch when we’re up to the wee hours of the morning putting together essays, projections, and player comments, I go crazy and look for a montage of the ambulance in Madden. This is this year’s iteration.

Damn, can’t watch youtube from work, but that’s when I NEED my football fix… what to do? what to do?
I know! Go home “sick,” get my football fix, then have a miraculous recovery in time for afternoon deliverables!

No Extra Point about the Bears locking up Robbie Gould? I’ve been waiting all day to make a sarcastic comment about making a guy who can’t kick a 40+ yard field goal the highest paid kicker in the league.

The piper is down. I repeat: the piper dooown!

Gould is fine from 40-49. It’s the +50 that they don’t even attempt. His kickoff distance is solid and he’s excellent from 45 yards in. What more can you ask for?
:: AmbiantDonkey — 5/13/2008 @ 2:32 pm
his percentage is solid because they don’t even attempt long ones. He got to attempt a lot of 30 yarders because the Bears red zone offense was awful.

Well its about time they pulled Rick Mirer from the game. That guy sucks.

Eli,
Wasn’t the same thing done for Vinatieri a couple years ago in Indy (granted kicking half your games inside a dome should be a litle easier)? And while he’s no Mike Vanderjagt (cough, gag, gasp), it seems to have worked out well for them. Especially that 15-0 playoff win in Balt. in which he did all the scoring.

You do realize that Gould led the NFL in 40-49 yard field goals in 2007, right? And his percentage from that range is one of the best in the NFL, too.

Due to the lack of an extra point regarding the awarding of the largest contract a kicker has ever received I started a thread on the player movement board on the other forum pages. Last time I looked a good twenty or so people had bothered to look at it (and one of them was myself checking if anyone had replied from work).

Anyone running Dan Marino on a QB keeper deserves a late hit injury.
This anti-spam word is right: “doofus”.

Since this thread has gone off topic anyways. Ricky Williams stated that he was invited on the boat with Cedric Benson but declined. He thinks the situation would have turned out differently if he was around because “I find I have a calming influence on people I’m around.” Insert your own Ricky Williams/marijuana/slacker comment here

Jeez, When did Pepper Johnson go to the Browns? I loved him on the Giants and in that TV show Police Woman.
Did Marino get a dislocated hip? Damn, that’s gotta hurt.
