Andersen\'s alive and kicking
46 year old Morten Andersen signed for Atlanta Falcons yesterday.
As a Danish NFL fan, I'm thrilled. Thoughts from you yanks? |

Re: Andersen\'s alive and kicking
I find it hard to believe. I thought he had finally retired.
One of the greatest kickers of all-time - in his prime combined excellent distance with solid accuracy - it also helped that he played in a dome. He doesn't quite have that leg strength anymore. |

That Falcons-Vikings playoff game Moss's rookie year where Morten won it may be the greatest (non-Patriots) football game I have ever seen.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, that game was superb but it seems to have been forgotten for some reason (except by bitter Vikings fans obv). Two teams with a combined THREE regular-season losses, great atmosphere, two legendary kickers (Gary Anderson being the other), one epic miss - Anderson's only one of the year - a clutch drive by ATL to tie it, a critical bat down (by Ray Crockett I believe) on a deep route that would have won the game for the Vikings, and then Andersen's winner in OT. When I think of "great" football games that one always ends up in my top three. |

Mort has nothing on Julio Franco. That said, Mort is awesome.
