Yesterday I promised the Krewe of Suzy that I'd get to work on something about Mike Vanderjagt's abrupt dismissal at the hands of Herr Parcells. I didn't have anything in mind per se, but any time a kicker with a multi-million-dollar contract -- who notoriously got served by quick-witted king of one-liners Peyton Manning -- gets cut like a line of yayo at Lawrence Taylor's locker, I figure it's worth mentioning.
But what was I going to do? Re-attack the "idiot kicker" theme for the seven hundredth time? Examine the Curse of Scott Norwood levied upon Parcells? Create a transcript of a symposium of exiled Parcells kickers, co-chaired by Jose Cortez and Billy Whats-his-face -- you know, the young guy that sucked at kicking field goals a year or two back? I forget.
Basically, I didn't have a good angle to effectively mock Vanderjagt.
Then I saw this picture:

And I rested peacefully. That pretty much says it all. A picture is worth a lot of words, you know. It used to be upwards of a thousand, but pictures have been depreciating a lot recently, so in this case it's only a few hundred.
Anyway, sucks to be you, Mike Vanderjagt. Have fun on the Redskins. Haw-haw!
Have fun on the Redskins.

that unnecessary "'s" is secret jew code for go to hell.
ReplyDeleteI remember that game! Yeah, it feels like it was forever ago. *sigh*
ReplyDeletebut he's tough. a pierced ear will do that for a guy's ego.
ReplyDeleteIt's instant karma come back for Vandershank, who made the fatal error of talking smack while being a placekicker.
ReplyDeleteSpecial teamers should be seen and not heard.
("FG" is in the verifcation code this time. Oddly fitting.)

ReplyDeleteThat's why Superman wore it, for sure.
Definitely a good picture, but check this one out:

It's Billy Cundiff. How delightful that you marvel in your memory for kickers' names, and that you are wrong.
ReplyDeleteHmm, which is more pathetic? Vanderjagt's 1997 CZ stud left-ear-only earing, or, Bledsoe's 1995 visor that he refuses to retire?

ReplyDeleteAnd even more importantly, it's why Ubermann didn't.
