at least when she is being promiscuous she'll have her contraceptives paid for, thats more than the other dudes with dicks can say at that kickers combine when they slink home as a loser ...


Contraceptives? Isn't rape a contraceptive?

An excerpt:
quote:
... since Crosby entered the NFL in 2007, he has attempted more 50-plus yard field goals than every place-kicker except the Oakland Raiders' Sebastian Janikowski. He has missed 19 of those 33 attempts, accounting for nearly half of the total misses in his career.

The second chart, courtesy the MIT paper, is a ranking of the most difficult stadiums to kick in since the start of the 2000 season... Based on kicking results from 3,410 games at 51 stadiums over that time period, the researchers found that Lambeau Field posed a more difficult challenge than every stadium except one: the New England Patriots' Gillette Stadium when it had a grass surface. (The conversion to artificial turf came in 2006.) Based on this model, at least, Lambeau is the most difficult active stadium to kick in.

Crosby, of course, has played half of his 96 career games at Lambeau.

Taken together, the researchers credited Crosby as the fifth-most underrated placekicker in the NFL since 2000. The total level of difficulty of his kicks, they argued, created the fifth-largest gap between his actual conversion rate and his adjusted level-of-difficulty rate.

Shouldn't preclude bringing in some competition during camp this season, but provides some useful perspective.

Yep. Last year's problems were almost exclusively in the 50+ yarder column until they spiraled out of control with the national attention.

I believe he attempted more from 40+ than any kicker last year. Part of that's got to be on Mike.

That said, when a guy like Walsh can go 10-10 from 50+ it's fair to expect more in that category given Crosby's price tag.

The following stat seems to remain unexplained -
Home 12/16 (75%) 50+ 1/3 (33%)
Away 09/17 (53%) 50+ 1/6 (17%)

Outdoors 15/22 (68%) 50+ 1/4 (25%)
Indoors 06/11 (54.5%) 50+ 1/5 (20%)

So if Lambeau was so difficult to kick at, then why were his terrible stats on the road? It's interesting to note how poor his dome percentage was. One more interesting stat -

Sep 5/5 100%
Oct 4/8 50%
Nov 3/7 43%
Dec 9/13 69%
Jan 2/2 100%

(6/6 on his last 6 attempts)

Looks more to me like the guy just had a shaky midseason slump.

Nice work on those stats and while Lambeau certainly is a difficult place to kick - it would seem that last year was more mental than anything else

Wonder what happens this year when the South End Zone is fully closed in - may need another adjustment period to kick in the "new" stadium
