Well, there's no fricking wind, there's no fricking pressure from 11 angry men, and he's a kicker, that should be a piece of cake for him.

Are you kidding me? That's from 50 yards out. How wide is the pole? 4 inches? Maybe 5 tops?

Makes me think of that old Michael Vick (I think that was who it was) commercial where he threw a ball out of the stadium.

That's pretty ridiculous, not only does he hit the upright, he hits it pretty high up from 50 yards out.

You people are easily impressed. Just 'cause you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. In case you forgot, HE IS A NFL KICKER! Eh, why do I even bother.

Well, he is kicking off tees instead of from a place-holder (or off a placekicker contraption) - I would imagine that gives his kicks a little more power, but I don't think it would help his accuracy at all.

I don't want to take anything away from that though; that is an amazing feat!


Hope its not edited like the Ronaldinho or LeBron James commercials.

It has to be faked. Shooting 4/4 from halfcourt would be more likely than that I think.

Does "NFL Fantasy Files" mean anything to anyone. :confused:

No its not real. Its physically impossible to kick a football that accurately. Its a friggin oblong ball - as long as there is an ounce of wind it will basically never go in the exact same direction even with the exact same kick.

This is like that fake basketball vid a couple years ago or so where kids were throwing the ball of walls in a gym from 50+ feet and making it every time.

Thats not even a valid comparison. I know people who could hit 4 in a row from half court at the high school level. Granted, not every time, but if they had a few takes, it'd be cake.

i don't know. i would think the FANTASY in that would be for fantasy football. that would also make sense since he says "need a kicker? pick me" but hey i been wrong before..
