OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): The Cap Bowl

[JojoTheWhale]

Of course this is a 40 yard attempt and not a 39. I will undoubtedly lose my fantasy matchup by 1 point.

Stop using Kickers. It's 2020.

I’m in a league with a bunch of old men that still did it all by hand up until like three years ago...

One step at a time.

I naturally progressed from football as a kid so kicking a rugby ball came naturally to me.

Back in my prime, and when I was a heavy skater, I could just about slot it from 50 metres and get a good 60 metres on a punt without too much trouble.

I played football since I could walk tbh... have multiple family members who were professional... and in turn they

but I was born with two left feet seemingly. Made up for by my hands thankfully!

Had pace and power but could not even make the B team in football at high school. Always loved playing but my only ability was knocking a ball 10 yards past someone and beating them to it haha.

Hilariously my uncle half offered me a trial at a Conference North club when I was 17. I had not played an 11-a-side game in 2 years. I laughed so much. Though in hindsight I should have taken it just for the story. But it would have been embarrassing. The only part I would have kept up was the part before the ball came on the pitch.

I can see this ending in a tie.

You include that in the email with the food you're ordering for the draft. That's where the drama always goes.

We won our division in football in HS because the opposing punter skied it into a strong wind which actually pushed the ball back over his head. We recovered the kick behind the opposing team and ran it in for a touchdown. It was unbelievably hilarious to watch, it was like the whole play was in slow-motion.

I once got caught under a high kick as the equivalent of the returner in rugby...

in a heavy wind.

I set myself for it, and I realised it was being pushed over my head by the wind, so I start running backwards at speed, while still looking up as the ball is looking like it is going to go right over my head and land behind me. I probably had ran 15 yards directly backpedalling at full speed and looking so far backwards that I overbalanced and fell backwards... thankfully I had got under the ball and caught it as I was falling bakwards.

But everyone laughed for like a week. Multiple people re-enacted it the next week in training.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

They really didn’t call a hold there?

What’s an email?

Show the hold you cowards.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

What’s an email?

Cuneiform tablet then. A little wedge dude kicking crossed out should get the point across.

Are you related to any Chinese person in South Florida?

If you said Vietnam I may have been able to relate.

Advance screw you to the Giants. You break Prescott and STILL blow it.

As a philadelphia sports fan, I feel no sympathy for the cowboys (or anyone) regardless of injury and severity

 

[Striiker]

I’m no dentist but that seems pretty serious.

I'm actually related to a dentist. I'll text him and get back to you.

That's a professional ADA accredited opinion right there folks.

 

[trostol]

So will this shitshow go to overtime? Probably. Because it hurts more.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Woooooooo! Second place!!!!

I’m in an all kicker league. @TB87 is in it with me

 

[Jtown]

Bring back nick for the love of god

 

[Chinatown88]

Anyone in a punter only league?

 

[FLYguy3911]

I did an individual defensive player league once. What a nightmare.

You're just going to need to trust me.

Are you doing a boomer bit now?

Norm Van Brocklin would have broken it off the rest of the way and then sucked the marrow out. That's why he's a Hall of Famer.
