    Completely fake. I can't believe people even wonder about these vids. No human can kick a 110 yd field goal and no ball girl can vault 15 ft in the air off an outfield wall. Common sense.

    It don't think the ball in flight was doctored but I wonder if the field was actually 100 yards long. They never show that.

    Will Smith throwing a whale a quarter mile in the movie Hancock: Real or fake?

    HAHAHA!! Redskins kickers can barely handle 40-yarders these days.

    Fake, and I haven't watched the video. You'd need a 100 mph wind at your back.

    Why would anyone think this is real? If he could kick the ball that far, he would kick a touchback every single time.

    Well, it depends. How does the whale fly through the air? That's really how you can tell if things are fake.

    Watch again. There's a point when you can tell the ball has hit the apex of a normal kicking arc and should begin descent. Instead that's when it starts moving horizontally in a completely unnatural manner for some time before descending. Either it was doctored or that was some sort of helium balloon. Gravity won't allow real footballs to stay afloat like that.

    Not only does it begin moving horizontally, it takes a slight uptick after it hits the apex.
