While baseball has long thought to have employed "juiced-up" baseballs at various times, the NFL has finally caught on. By allowing teams to get a hold of these "kickers" footballs and using whatever voodoo to improve performance, the longest field goal record was going to fall. I guess it was rob Peter to pay Paul in that they have taken most of the excitement(and danger) from kickoffs and given it to field goal attempts. My Giants kickers have not gotten the memo as they have blown multiple PATS while other kickers 60-yards+ FG's are becoming routine.
I have to wonder if wind and footing have a lot to with the kicking success. Nobody is kicking in some place the 70s strange concrete things with worn Astroturf.
I can only imagine trying to do a placement at Veterans Stadium in Philly.
FWIW, with one of the mentions, my fantasy team, “Old Bay Massage Oil” isn’t doing well…
