There is a god

[HeluCopter29]

Yeah buddy!

Saw this in class. Really struggling not to hop up on my desk and dance like a fool.

We have a kicker with something left to prove; this is good.

Sad his career is probably over but he brought it on himself. You cant miss 30 yarders in this league.

[GOSKINS_08]

Yes! Bye Cundiff, I wont miss you.

[E33Green]

Yes! Bye Cundiff, I wont miss you.

From Kai Forbath's wiki page:

'Kai signed with the Washington Redskins after Donald Trump called Mike Shanahan and told him, "Forbath is to football what I am to money. Moreover, Cundiff is to football what I am to having a personality."'

If it's on Wiki it must be true!

"See ya lata there, Billy Boy boy boy boy..."

[Bacon]

However he performs, he sure has a great name.

[Audible_Red40]

5 for 5 in preseaon including 2 from 50+ yards.

Unfortunately, he's got the kicker curse on his side. Washington where kickers go to die.......

Welcome aboard Kai, best of luck.

Personally, I think Cundiff was fine all year until Shanny made him try a 63 yard FG attempt. Since then, his mechanics were off.

It's like hitters who try to hit homers at the home Run Derby who have their swings thrown off. Its a big reason why sluggers avoind it. Cundiff was doing just fine but had to try and boot some ridiculous FG attempt and it screwed him up.

Cundiff missed that 63 yarder in Week 2. Hardly enough evidence to declare that he was doing "fine". But I see your point in the sense that there's no reason to shake a kicker's confidence with a nearly impossible kick.

a long kick doesnt mess up your mechanics, maybe a hamsting pull bit not mechanics, the dude flat out sucks, hes done in the nfl

[DarkLink]

Does Cundiff received any guaranteed money in his contract? and is he released without any further money?
