Dempsey's kick is such a "line drive" it looks like the hand of God helped it stay in the air the last few yards. What wasn't to love about that whole story..?
I remember people speculating that Dempsey's success would usher in a new era of kickers who had the front half of their kicking foots amputated. I always wanted to be a FG Kicker but not sure how much having my foot modified like that would have added to my range...?

The only way I find it possible to cope with Donn's posts is to try and imagine its Hank from King of the Hill talking and then it's like, "oh, ok".

Things make sense a little more that way.

Helps you to just shake your head and move on.

Looking like I will be over estimating new cases again today. We are at about 15k new cases and my model is predicting 36k. I have 393k total cases at the end of the day and we are only at 320k right now. My new cases per day start to decline slightly each day so hopefully actuals will as well...

I can't believe he was only 23 when he did it. For some reason I thought he was near the end of his career. He was only 73 yo. 50th anniversary will be this fall. His career % is only 61%. Not surprising the toe hackers went out of business..

Josh Lambo led the NFL last season making 33 of 34 for 97%. The worst kicker was Bret Maher who only made 20 of 30 for 67%.
