    Andersen and Vinatieri are the only ones who deserve to be in at the exceedingly high standard kickers must be held to.

    The stats might not be in front of us, but they are on NFL.com for anyone to dig up.

    Hanson ranks 12th among 57 players in kickoffs with 60 for a 65.9-yard average.
    Kasay ranks 55th among 57 players in kickoffs with one for 11 yards, presumably an onsides kick. Rhys Lloyd has kicked off 75 times this season for the Panthers and ranks fourth in the NFL, which includes 24 touchbacks.

    Now that is useful information, as opposed to what was presented earlier in the thread.

    Since kicking off is an integral part of being a kicker, I'd say that gives Hanson an edge. Since Carney is 43rd in kickoff average I'd say Hanson, like most Detroit fans who pay for Lions tickets, was stiffed.

    And the reasons he was stiffed are that he plays for the oh-for-the-season Lions and the NFL doesn't have MLB's every-team-must-be-repped rule.

    I get it. But the guy was still stiffed. And I hate that rule in MLB.

    Some of us -- not mentioning any names, of course -- saw this coming two years ago.
