Re: 50-yard field goal for $1,000,000!
[ QUOTE ]
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) [/ QUOTE ] You've never watched a football game?

[ QUOTE ]
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?" [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] considering women's tees are usually less elevated than men's tees, this is an even more impressive feat.

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?

[/ QUOTE ] He had the distance but all of his attempts prior to the 50 weren't good, so you'd assume that the hardest of the bunch would be no different than the first few.
