Re: 50-yard field goal for $1,000,000!
I'd assume it's Canadian, since it was a CFL game.
20 yd FG - $1,000 30 yd FG - Sony Digital Imaging Package 40 yd FG SONY HD Home Theatre Package 50 yd FG - $1,000,000 The guy was an avid soccer player, so he had that going for him.

Re: 50-yard field goal for $1,000,000!
It was hyped the last cpl days in the papers. Sounded like he was going to have a decent shot so I tuned into the half time show to watch. That's the most CFL I've seen in many years.
I was rooting for the guy. Great to see him make it even if he did get ripped off on the pay.

Re: 50-yard field goal for $1,000,000!
I'm retarded but is 50 yards in CFL equal to 50 yards in NFL?
Wind? Arena or Open field? Also, Must say that 50 yards in the NFL is longer than 50 since the goal post is at the end of the end zone (no clue how long the end zone is) Still, 50 yards is absurdly long without the added pressure of a million on the line.

How do you miss from 20, 30, and 40 yards, then make it from 50?

This debate on where the goalposts are reminds me of a great one my stepmom came up with. Told about Michelle Wie's hitting 300 yard drives, she said "Yeah, but from the women's tees right?"

I watched it on tv, it was very ummmm... unexpected. [/ QUOTE ] Why? From the article I read (don't know if the one I read was the same one linked), it said that he missed the 20, 30 and 40 wide, not short. If he's banging them with long enough distance, you had to believe he at least had a decent shot at making that 50 yarder?
