Default Can you kick a 50 yard field goal for a million bucks? - 10-27-2005, 07:59 PM
Anyone see this guy? TSN and Wendys had a contest for one person to get a chance to kick a 50 yark field goal for a million bucks and the guy made it. It was just on at half time of the Toronto/Hamilton game that is on TSN right now.

The guy missed from 20, 30 and 40 yards for small prizes. All of his kicks were a tiny bit wide right. The kick from 50 yards he nailed right down the pipes. Now the guy has a million bucks.

Yeah. Absolutley. I know for sure that I can't kick anything 50 yards. I bet 99% of the population can't kick a soccer ball or football 50 yards. I think they mentioned that field goal % for over 50 yards in the CFL this year is 7%. I doubt it's much higher in the NFL either.

my friend is a walk-on for Boston College. He's never played a game of football in his life. He pwned in soccer. Now's he is the field goal kicker on BC.

Most people who play soccer can kick a soccer ball for a 50 yard field goal, at least that was my experience in HS when we would screw around. A football, however, is a whole different animal. Very difficult.

Anyway congrats to that guy. If it were in the US, after taxes, that would be like $13,000/year.

add up mades/missed = 67

Also remember our goal post is behind the endzone another 10 yds
