Good to see the good ones in Tecmo Super Bowl still playing.

Is there NOBODY out there that can kick better than a 46-year-old retired guy? Are we that short of competent kickers?

Kicking is the epitome of the old boy network. Once you're in, you're in for life. Left-handed relievers are jealous of kickers. I can't figure it out either.

Same for when I played FFL (gave it up this year ... and not missing it). Of course, he was on a team I pulled for, and was longtime teammate with some guy I seem to remember ...

That's Jeffires. And might as well go with a proven commodity. Not like he has to run or anything.

A 46-year-old Morten Andersen is probably more money that 20 of the kickers in the league right now. And during his prime, I'm not sure there was a kicker with a stronger leg. So at 46, it means he has average leg strength.
Also, fitting that his first game back will be in the Superdome. The few wins the Saints got before Jim Mora and some his players went to the Bayou came because of Morten's kicks.

No, those aren't made anymore (slipped my mind just who makes it). Knowing Morten, he probably still has the helmet ... it went with him from New Orleans to Atlanta and the other stops.
I would assume that since, technically, it's not a single bar that the league can't ban it.

Ain't this a kick in the head.
