Year of the Kicker: Lather, Rinse, and Repeat

I swear to god, Len Pasquarelli writes this column every year. He points out sometime at midseason that kicking and punting numbers are at all-time highs. Last year, it was "Brian Moorman is going to break the all-time gross punting record" or some such thing. Len, dude, it is called "weather."

This may be the first Extra Point repeat. I wrote the above paragraph two years ago [1], linking to a Len Pasquarelli column called NFL Kickers Going the Distance This Season [2]. Two years later, and he's done it yet again. Len, dude, I think you are a great reporter, and I'm glad to have you back. It's good to have you healthy. But it is still called "weather." We haven't figured out how to get rid of it in the last couple years. It's going to be here for a long time. Seriously. Get used to the concept.
