"I've made thousands of kicks. They only remember the big ones."

If that's not unintentionally prophetic, I don't know what is.

Mike Vanderjagt is like an old girlfriend. You hear she’s dating someone new, and it doesn’t work out, and you’re secretly happy. Then you hear she completely blew her self confidence and slept with an entire professional football team. Then you hear that she’s somewhere in Canada and you almost, almost feel bad.

And then someone the time when she lit your car on fire. With your cat. In your garage.

This video reminded me of Vanderjagt shanking the 47 yard field goal in the RCA Dome against the Steelers in 2005.

Oh yes, I remember.

That memory

Sounds specific, and personal. That sucks

Nothing personal. But I can’t imagine watching my girlfriend light my car on fire with my cat in my garage would be better than watching Vanderjagt completely waste one of the best comebacks of Manning’s career.

I mean, the guy came back from 21-3 to make it 21-18. All Vandy had to do was hit a 47 yard field goal. In a dome. And he shanked it. He completely shanked it. What’s worse is that he did it ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK THE NEXT DAY.

Agree

It wasn’t even a close miss or a doink (not sure if that would have made me feel better). He missed it so bad I almost thought he did it on purpose. I was hoping there was whistle or something. Talk about a game where you’re down, then a comeback looks possible, then you’re down again, then you’re up b/c of Bettis’ fumble, and then….the idiot kicker misses.
