Anyone ever take a close look at the kicker for the Chargers, Nate Kaeding? That guy looks like he could go undercover in a kindergarten class.[/quote]

That reminds me of the funniest thing I've ever heard John Madden say. It was during a Buccaneers game, when Martin Grammatica was still kicking for them. He took an image of Grammatica after a kick while he was still wearing his helmet (which looked 2 sizes too big), and said something like, "if you didn't know anything about football, and saw this guy would you think he was actually a REAL football player--or just a trick-or-treater?" I can't remember exactly how he said it, or exactly what was said, but it was damn funny especially coming from Madden. Anyone else remember that?

I'm perusing for the full quote, but while doing so, found [url=http://www.everyedge.com/vb/archive/index.php?t-16122.html]Gramatica's response[/url]:

TRICK OR TREAT? Fox NFL analyst John Madden has taken quite a few shots at the Bucs in recent weeks.

He has criticized LG Randall McDaniel's skills and stamina, FB Mike Alstott's blocking ability and even PK Martin Gramatica's uniform.

Madden said in jest that Gramatica's helmet makes him look like he's wearing a Halloween costume. Surprisingly, Gramatica agreed.

"I look at the way I look with that helmet on and I make fun of myself,'' Gramatica said. "What [Madden] said doesn't bother me. He's just doing his job.''

Gramatica even sent Madden an autographed mini-helmet.

On the Gramatica note, one of the funniest things I've ever seen in football was when Bill Gramatica blew his knee out while celebrating a field goal in 2001. He was jumping around like a complete spazz and ripped up his knee... the football gods do have a sense of humor!

Wasn't that only like a 25yrd FG in the 1st quarter? What a goober.

Yeah it might as well have been an extra point, it's not like it was a 50 yarder at the gun to win it.

Re: Redskins sign Novak
 

as far as novak, how many quarters until people around here are calling for his head?

If he misses a non-crucial one, people will be fine.

If he misses a game-winning kick, God help him.
