50 yrd field goal? that's something most pro nfl kickers can't do. especially going into that kick COLD.. i was thinking if i were to make that kick, it would go off it any which way. when i saw that on the sports highlights, i was actually like 'WHHOOOAAAAA!!' i was truly impressed

Yeah man, I wish I got that kinda chance someone should sign him to a tryout contract in the cfl next season. If I won the money I would practice and at least try out, the lions could use him for sure!

hahaha, there's no way he's gonna get signed. I dunno if anyone else saw the whole thing but he missed the 20yrd for the cell phone a foot to the right, then he missed the 30yrd for 2G a foot to the right and then he missed the 40yrd for the sony entertainment system a foot to the right! hahahaha, Wendy's must be kinda pissed that the only fg he made was the 50 yrd for the million! hahaha now he can buy like 10 000 cell phones!

Ha yeah that was pretty funny, but with a million in his pocket he aint gotta work for a while, he's got the leg, and as for distance that's all in mechanics, he's got to get a coach like I had in high school practice his mechanics and who knows, the guy looks like he'd be in decent football shape. At least if I wont the million I would try out next season, you'd be well know to the coaching staff.

I meant he's got the leg for the distance, as for accuracy, well that's all in mechanics. You could tell when he took his two steps to the left on the first two that he was to far away so he was reaching for the ball, hence why he was pushing it wide. That's a simple problem to correct. Plus 1 for 3 is better than Mahoney for the Lions. Fucking guy misses PAT's

That's how most payouts are......

I'd be STOKED to get $25,000 a year for the majority of the rest of my life. Think about that, you'd have to work half as much to make a living. Or, add that on top of $30-40k a year, and you'd be living pretty well. Invest/save it well and you'd be set for generations.

that's wicked though...a million he'd probably squander... but 25g to supplement his current income....he won't have to stress as much about money
