[ QUOTE ]
Glad to see he's back. I just realized Jason Elam is still around too for the Bronco's. I think kickers could hang around pretty much forever. I doubt they lose that much leg strength and what they do lose they can compensate for with accuracy. [/ QUOTE ] its the mental aspect that gets em. but, if you mad good like mort, it dont matter. |

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. |

Re: Andersen\'s alive and kicking
Pudge,
Heh sorry, nothing personal mang. I wasn't rooting for one team or the other, just a good contest. What was remarkable to me is how Atlanta walked a tightrope the entire game - the Vikings were constantly one play away from putting them down but couldn't close the deal. It was spectacular to watch if you were emotionally detached as I was... |
