Eagles claim Jose Cortez, waive France

That's what I was thinking my way into the NFL was. Just learn how to kick!

Hmmm, I was a decent kicker, kicked in a handful of flag football games in college and after. I can hit from 35, 40 yards. perhaps i should call the Eagles for a tryout...however, I doubt they'll sign a 320 lb kicker.

This is wonderful. You guys remember when Cortez was the kicker for SF a couple years ago and he missed all those potential winners inside 30 yards? I think he missed two chipshots at the end of a game against SD - something like that. Supposedly he took some time off to change his kicking style, coming back this season rejuvinated, but it looks like he might have needed to get a valium prescipription from a sports psychologist as well.

One thing that has always amazed me is how difficult it is to find 32 guys at one time in the entire world who can consistently kick a ball through a target. I mean, I know its harder than it looks and everything (so says my dad who was a kicker in college) but there's a lot of people in this world. Alot of soccer players who maybe aren't fast enough for the big leagues. I could imagine someone signing some fat Brazilian goaly who can bomb then from 60+, and he becomes the Antonio Gates of Kickers. Just a thought...
