Redskins Kicker Steps It Up w/110-Yard Field Goal

Last week, we leaped at the chance to show amazing-yet-unlikely footage of a minor league ballgirl with some major-league hops. Now, on this week’s edition of the Bob Saget-free “America’s Phoniest Home Videos”, we offer up Redskins kicker Shaun Suisham belting a 110-yard field goal:


You might need some Dramamine for the first few wavy seconds, and the pixelation is a bit harsh. Luckily, WUSA-TV has a smaller but clearer clip teed up - complete with Geico & granite commercials!

So, is this booting the real deal? Read more…

Blog-O-Licious: Housing Crisis Hits Ballers, Too

Some links from all around as I sweat out the California heat wave without A/C:

Santana Moss Misses Practice for 3-Day Birthday

We chuckled rather loudly when we heard Santana Moss couldn’t make it into practice Monday because his three-day 29th birthday party weekend took too much out of him, but we guffawed when we read the text of his confession on PRO FOOTBALL TALK:

(For those of you planning for our six-week birthday celebration, make sure you create a Transformers cake as tall as us. We’ll transform it into poo for you.)

We were never in organized football, so we didn’t know what “chalk talk” was until today. We learn so much from football players! For example, we learned how to throw a three-day birthday extravaganza. First, have your wife stay in Miami with the kids while you throw the party. Check.

Cooley remembers meeting Christy about three years ago, when the Redskins cheerleader showed up at his house “like she had climbed out of a poster in my high-school bedroom.”

And as it turns out, it wasn’t just a random chance meeting.

(More provocative, possibly-NSFW pics of the future Mrs. Cooley post-jump.)
