WUSA9 - (Video) - Amazing 110 Yard Field Goal (merged)

[HapHaszard]

http://www.wusa9.com/rss/local_article.aspx?storyid=73227

ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA)-- Shaun Suisham may not look like an intimidating guy at first glance. At 6' tall and 200 lbs. Shaun is considered small when it comes to NFL players. However, when it comes to leg strength and kick accuracy, he's in a league of his own. Check out this video captured at Redskins Park and tell us what you think.

Click on the link for the video

[Blackest Eyes]

haha that has to be fake.

[Thinking Skins]

What kind of hang time can he get on that kick though?

[Wyndorf25]

Sorta reminds me of those fake ads for fantasy football where Campbell throw one ball then throws another and hits the first one in mid-flight.

[skinsandgibbsfan]

That's definately fake. I mean, he can't even make a 50 yard FG half the time. Also, he never kicks the ball out of the endzone on kickoffs.

[IbleedBnG83]

Sorta reminds me of those fake ads for fantasy football where Campbell throw one ball then throws another and hits the first one in mid-flight.

That JCam ad wasn't fake. They interviewed him on Comcast about it. He actually did that on the second try. :silly:

my thoughts exactly

[IbleedBnG83]

my thoughts exactly

not fake...

[IbleedBnG83]

Shuan Suisham being able to kick 110 yard field goal...impossible. JCam being able to hit one ball with another...not impossible. Why do people think it was fake.:silly:

[Dan T.]

Meh, he used a tee. With someone holding, he couldn't do more than 90 yards, 95 tops.

[Rocky21]

That would be a fake.

[sens11]

Funny..but fake!
He only took a few steps to kick it....

[Old Bay]

Contrary to the cries of fakery, I'm going to take a leap of faith and say it's real. ;)

Super Suisham ftw!

[BALLz]

Well, if it's real we should all take him into a back alley some where and whoop his ass for not kicking like that in games

[HapHaszard]

Well, if it's real we should all take him into a back alley some where and whoop his ass for not kicking like that in games
LOL you got that right, but right now he is kicking for his job, can you say incentive?

[IbleedBnG83]

Well, if it's real we should all take him into a back alley some where and whoop his ass for not kicking like that in games

:notworthy

[jujuskinsfan]

If he was able to kick a 110 yards FG, he wouldn't have missed from 30 yards out @ seattle.

[MintHillSkinsFan]

I call :bsflag:

[timdaley73]

Anyone notice the 2 people celebrating at the end? Anyone think that one of them was Zorn??

[hobbie8046]

Haha, if I were Suisham I would be upset about the whole thing. "When it comes to leg strength and accuracy he is in a league of his own."

Obviously fake; it's damn near impossible. I think the JC thing was real, though.

[downbeat87]

I Dont Know What To Think!

[poultry_geist66]

This has to be fake

110 Yard Field Goal (http://www.wusa9.com/rss/local_article.aspx?storyid=73227)

Saw this on ProFootballTalk this morning

[downbeat87]

this has to be redundant.

[bubba9497]

this has to be redundant.

I smell a 110 yard merge

[HailSkinz1]

Shuan Suisham being able to kick 110 yard field goal...impossible. JCam being able to hit one ball with another...not impossible. Why do people think it was fake.:silly:

I like Suisham, but if he can do that, then every opponent this year will be starting at their own 20 yard line after we kickoff.

And the JC one is a fake too.

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2007/08/jason_campbell_fake_fake_fake.html

Hail,

H

[poultry_geist66]

Missed the original. Did a search on the page and it didn't come up. It worked in the past. Oh well.

[phatSkins27]

Meh, he used a tee. With someone holding, he couldn't do more than 90 yards, 95 tops.

When he uses a tee on kickoffs they go to the 25yrd line so what happened now did he use some of barry bhonds magic cream in the offseason?

[jlachey]

Both were definitely fake.

[downbeat87]

thats just dan wishing he knew whats up.

[Xameil]

lol no way

[whitejimmy]

Did they take the video down?

[TheLongshot]

Did they take the video down?

Nope, it is still up there.

And yes, the Campbell trick was confirmed real.

Jason

[DGreenistheBest]

Whaaaaat. That looks so fake. If Suisham could kick 110 yarders, we'd have won a lot more games than we did.

[panel]

Whaaaaat. That looks so fake. If Suisham could kick 110 yarders, we'd have won a lot more games than we did.
Or if he could kick 40 yarders

[AKM311]

Not real. Impossible. His kickoffs dont even travel that far.

[IbleedBnG83]

I like Suisham, but if he can do that, then every opponent this year will be starting at their own 20 yard line after we kickoff.

And the JC one is a fake too.

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2007/08/jason_campbell_fake_fake_fake.html

Hail,

H

That blog doesn't really prove it being fake. But i do think it is fake.

[DGreenistheBest]

Suisham can't even run 110 yards, much less kick a football that far.

[skindogger47]

For anyone to even entertain this to be close to possible is just sad. Don't you think he'd have had a couple of touchbacks last year if he could kick 100 YARDS?

[theTruthTeller]

I know that Nike is making a bunch of these commercials - Kobe jumping over an oncoming car, the ball girl making a catch 15' high on the outfield wall - maybe its one of those. They had one of Brandon Lloyd making a catch in a game, but they canned it because no one would believe it.

[kuraitengai]

Sorta reminds me of those fake ads for fantasy football where Campbell throw one ball then throws another and hits the first one in mid-flight.
the JC one isnt as hard to believe as you would think. when i was at the lake playing football with some friends, i tried it. didnt actually succeed but i only tried about 5 times and all of them were within about 3 feet of hitting the first ball. so had i tried a little longer, i would have done it. just stopped cuz i was hungry. haha

ill video it next time. ;)

[GregW8705]

I know it's fake because Suisham kicked it through the uprights. That's harder to believe than the distance.

[kiingspadee]

but what if?

[Dan T.]

Anyone notice the 2 people celebrating at the end? Anyone think that one of them was Zorn??

The other one was that ball girl who made the amazing catch in that minor league baseball game.

[cphil006]

Not even off a tee. First of all, don;t call it a field goal, because no defense is in front of him, second of all, he couldn't do that off kickoffs which would be 80 yards WITH a TEE...

check it out on snopes

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

:laugh:

That would be pretty damn cool if a kicker could though.

[jweisk1]

Great offseason Suisham!! I guess we are going to keep you even though you botched a 30 yard FG in the playoffs....:doh:

[paintrain]

Hmm, that must have been the same camera that shot:
Mike Vick throwing into the upper deck
Jason Campbell knocking the football out of the air
Neil Rackers banging 5 straight off the same spot on the goalpost
Kobe Bryant leaping over a speeding car

[mbws]

The ball is full of Flubber

[pvkeeper19]

Consider this: a Suisham's kickoffs only travel about 65-70 yards. How could he possibly kick a ball 110 yards?

[The Waterboy]

I say offer him the vet minimum plus incentitives....

[santana_4_prez]

this has to be redundant.

Kind of redundant and somewhat repetitive.

[Duckus]

To bad he sucks at kicking them in games.

[RedBeast]

Guys the kick was good, what you did not notice was the size of the field. The kick was done on a Pop Warner anklebiter field which uses feet opposed to yards on the field marking, with regulation size goal posts. That means that it was about a 33 yard kick. Look closely and you will see...Sean kills in the Pee Wee leagues.

[hiswadeness]

Why can't he nail all the kick offs out of the endzone then?

[Skinzaddict1983]

I click the link, but no video pops up, I get a Skinz logo helmet, the little 2 paragraph article, and an advertisement window :doh:

[The Rook]

This is a job for "Myth Busters".

I love that show.






:helmet: The Rook

[STBonecrusher21]

Man, some of you people need to lighten up. It's obviously fake. They were just having some fun, and they did some pretty good editing on that thing. Pretty cool.

[timdaley73]

It's the BALL!! Don't you guys realize that the NFL changed the ball for kicks a couple of years ago to decrease touchbacks and increase kick returns? So, it could be REAL... With either non-kicking-NFL ball or even a K-2!! :-)

[downbeat87]

actually on myth busters they determined you can make the ball go further with helium, so maybe?

plus... i wouldnt be THAT surprised if he kicked it that far in practice in shorts in june. it is nice that it went between the uprights, but, this isnt IMPOSSIBLE.

but hey neither is editing so what do i know

[theTruthTeller]

If you miss a field goal from inside your own end zone, would it result in a safety or a touchdown for the other team?

[Dan T.]

plus... i wouldnt be THAT surprised if he kicked it that far in practice in shorts in june. it is nice that it went between the uprights, but, this isnt IMPOSSIBLE.

but hey neither is editing so what do i know

Um, yeah, it's pretty much impossible.

But many North Koreans actually believe that Dear Leader Kim Jong Il once played golf and scored a 34. On a par 72 course. A 38 under par. With 5 holes in one. And he never had a lesson, played only that one round, and never played again.

So no wonder that some think Suisham actually kicked a 110 yard field goal.

[Mackdaddydean]

That JCam ad wasn't fake. They interviewed him on Comcast about it. He actually did that on the second try. :silly:

Omg you've got to be kidding. ALL of those Fantasy Files videos were fake. That was the whole point of them....FANTASY! And don't act like he came out and said it was true, he was more than coy about it and said he'd leave it up to the people watching to decide.

[SonOfWashington]

I can't find the video?

[IbleedBnG83]

You obviously did not see ->":silly:"....:doh:

[SkinsGuy]

This just proves that P.T. Barnum was right. :)

[Reaganaut]

This is obviously a joke aimed at the new punter we drafted who can punt the length of the field.

[WarrenD]

Sebastian Janikowski does this all day.

[Peregrine]

I guess that means he wins any camp kicking competition...

It appears as though the Danny likes doing stuff like this :-P Pretty soon we will have a vid of Randy Thomas pushing the entire Oline around on a sled.

[JetSkins]

love those fake ads

[kevinklein]

Stupid video won't load on my computer.

[Teller]

Fake.

Only Reed Doughty could do that. :)

[pjfootballer]

Not sure if that's real. The ball kind of sailed in mid flight. I'd have to see it live.

[downbeat87]

Um, yeah, it's pretty much impossible.

So no wonder that some think Suisham actually kicked a 110 yard field goal.

how is it impossible, esp if he used helium...?

also, my response was in context of someone saying the balls were different.

my logic is ive seen people in college put it in the back of the endzone, so whats not to say some one couldnt do it with a fixed ball without pads on a nice june afternoon?

thats all im sayin.

[Cpt.Chaos47]

LOL you got that right, but right now he is kicking for his job, can you say incentive?


Why is he kicking for his job? Their isn't even another kicker on the team. Not to mention he made 29 kicks out of 35 attempts last year which was tied 5th in the league. He was only 4 made kicks from the all time Redskins record of 33 which Mark Mosley holds. The year before Suisham was 8 for 9 which makes his total since he's been with the Redskins 37 for 44. Plus he's only going into his 3rd year. There isn't a better kicker out there to sign.

[HogNose]

haha that has to be fake.

Not fake...Chip Lohmiller once kicked a Football off a building and through the uprights. Saw it on a McDonalds commercial. :silly:

[Blue Collar Skins]

Totally fake. The angle that it went up by, would have had it coming down around the 30 yard line.

[[[ghost]]]

Sebastian Janikowski does this all day.

Except for Sundays.

[SonOfWashington]

Fake.

Only Reed Doughty could do that. :):applause:

[Tat2dluvchylde]

He sucks in real life almost as bad as he sucks in Madden08

[zskins]

Totally fake. The angle that it went up by, would have had it coming down around the 30 yard line.

You know this because you took out your pocket protector and your velocity trajectory meter. Correct?

[bschurm]

For those of you who think this is real, I have one question. Why can't he kick it 75 yards into the end zone on kickoffs? If he can kick it 110 yards from a tee, then why can't he kick it 75-80 yards on kick offs so the opposing teams will stop getting good field position?

:doh:

[zskins]

Not sure if that's real. The ball kind of sailed in mid flight. I'd have to see it live.

Why you were looking for an arch? Notice the ball barely makes it over the bars. It is a long kick not high.

[mikered30]

I cannot see the video, anyone else have the link to it?

[zskins]

:doh:

Why is it hard for you all to realize he has to do this more then once in a game and putting too much pressure on one leg is not good. He won't make it through the season if he did this all of the time by over exerting/extending himself.

[zskins]

I cannot see the video, anyone else have the link to it?The video is on the right side of the article. Click on the big PLAY button, watch a stupid commerical, and then enjoy the kick. :D

That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. I used to kick field goals and it does not wear you out to kick it as far as you can 2,3,4 or 5 or more times in a game. How many kick offs does he avg per game in a year?


If he has the ability to kick the ball in the end zone every time. He should be doing it!

[zskins]

Ok. Does you chance of injury increase with over use of your legs? Players are paid millions to perform and to stay healthy. It is a business. You have to protect your assets. It is that simple.

[Titaw]

Mine doesn't have a player. I guess it's because I'm at work.

[zskins]

It is using Flash Player. It must not be installed on your pc or you don't have an updated version of it. If you have right to install software on your pc then you can go to adobe.com and update your Flash Player.

[bschurm]

Ok. Does you chance of injury increase with over use of your legs? Players are paid millions to perform and to stay healthy. It is a business. You have to protect your assets. It is that simple.

Give me a break.

First off, Suisham is not making millions. He's not that good.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, he does not have job security so he better do everything he can to keep his job. Under those conditions, if I could put it into the endzone every time. I know I would!

[Sawyer5500]

I have tried to see the video many times, on 3 different computers using both IE and firefox. Is it still there or have they taken it down?

[zskins]

Give me a break.

Do you have video of yourself to prove your point. Regardless of the millions or whatever he is making at the moment - the point is that chance of injury is greater. But I guess your ego is getting in the way of this simple realization.

[downbeat87]

its probly fake, but it wouldnt be up there if the guy thinks he cant get more touchbacks.

point is, hes probly gotten better at kick offs.

[mikered30]

The video is on the right side of the article. Click on the big PLAY button, watch a stupid commerical, and then enjoy the kick. :D

It works now, the video was not there before. The video is fake.

[zskins]

It works now, the video was not there before. The video is fake.

Cool. So why you think the video is fake? It sure don't look fake to me. I guess the article written about it is fake as well. I am sure wusa9 can get in trouble for reporting a fake news. No?

[bschurm]

Here are you arguments:

1. He has been saving his leg so on kick offs, if the Skins can keep opposing teams from getting good field position, Suisham is going to worry more about leg power toward the end of the season? :doh:

I certainly hope he is not holding back. It might not matter and he's not good enough to think he would be there at the end of the year if he held back.

2. Suisham gets paid millions to stay helathy. :doh:

Suisham has not even made a million playing for the Skins.

3. You stated that I needed to post videos of me kicking filed goals to prove you are wrong. :doh:
My filed goal kicking ability has nothing to do with your argument that Suisham is saving his leg for the end of the season or that he makes millions so he needs to protect his investment.

He needs to do the best possible job he can or he won't be making anything, so if he can kick the ball in the endzone every time. I would say he better do it.

I may be wrong, but if he can kick the ball 110 yards, he better damn well kick it 80 yards every kick off so that the guys who play special teams don't get unnecessarily beat up and the opposing team has no chance to get the ball past the 20!

[HogNose]

I would tend to believe it a bit more if Durant Brooks was kicking.

[dent19]

couldnt view it...checking you tube....

[Redskins:Victory_or_Death]

For those of you who think this is real, I have one question. Why can't he kick it 75 yards into the end zone on kickoffs? If he can kick it 110 yards from a tee, then why can't he kick it 75-80 yards on kick offs so the opposing teams will stop getting good field position?

:doh:Shuuuuuut up! You're giving away our strategy. We like to make the other team think they have a chance. It's only sporting, old chap. :D

[zoony]

I say...

fake.

[Bleeding Burgundy]

Googled it, and found it at http://ballhype.com/video/shaun_suisham_110_yard_field_goal_on_yahoo_video/.. Yeah, all signs point to fake. I'm not going to say it's impossible, but we should all know better than Suisham being able to kick a 110 yarder, let alone making one.

[DallasSucks19922010]

if it were real hed have a peyton manning type contract

[zoony]

Think about it... we wouldn't need a punter. 3 points every time we touch the ball :point2sky:

[adamyesme1111]

I dont see the video!?

[adamyesme1111]

Think about it... we wouldn't need a punter. 3 points every time we touch the ball :point2sky:

Come on Zoony, he was kicking it off of a tee. If he was allowed to use a tee to kick a field goal then we probably WOULDN'T need a punter.

[Sekhmet728]

I wholly expected to be Rick Rolled....

[SkinsFTW]

If that was real we wouldn't punt from the 40, or even midfield or actually even our own 20.

[Dan T.]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry that there are people actually trying to make the case that the video is real.

People, the longest field goal EVER KICKED in an NFL game was 63 yards. The longest EVER KICKED in a college game is 69 yards, using a tee.

Yet people actually want to argue that Suisham could boot a 110 yard field goal? Almost half a football field further than the longest field goal EVER kicked? :wtf:

[MoeRedskins]

wow, that is amazing. I can't wait for the season to start!

[REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE]

I dont know if this video is real or not, but either way, it means nothin if he cant doin it in game time situations.

[Gracelander]

There is also one of Brandon Lloyd catching a pass
