The Noid
Avoid me!
So he missed from 20, 30 and 40 before making that one? He had 4 chances for prizes up to one million dollars; we only get one chance for a measly $20,000. Wendy's>>>Santander.

That couldn't be easy for a blind guy. Very cool.
You better get that in writing from the legal dept. It's awesome that two FBG's are in this but I'm sad about radio silence. I understand why but just sad.Confirmed with the rep who notified me I was a daily winner that it will be a 40-yard field goal, in length, for the grand prize.

RIPJust remember a 40 yard field goal will be kicked from the 30 not the 40 yard line. Hth

Did anyone win?Well today was the contest. I made my first two kicks and then missed from 25. Just barely went left, probably about 3 ft from the post...
How did you do noid? I was the big tall guy with the beard...
everyone started at the 5yd line (15yd fg)Where did you start at...for realises?
So about half the people missed 15 yd. Then another half missed 20.
At 25 yds there were 15 people left. That's when I missed. 7 people made it to 30 yds. And 5 of them made it to 35 yds.
3 guys made the 35 yd fg and had to attempt 40 yds. They all missed, so all 3 of them attempted 40 yds again. One guy made it on the 2nd attempt, so he was the winner.
Correct...The $20,000 kick will not take place until Nov 23. The guy just won the right to attempt the kick.
Worked out with the kickers for 2 hours during the team's practice yesterday at my alma mater. Made about 80% of the 25-yarders, and 3 out of 10 30-yarders. Barely feeling it today. Making progress!
I am guessing he missed from the 5.Worked out with the kickers for 2 hours during the team's practice yesterday at my alma mater. Made about 80% of the 25-yarders, and 3 out of 10 30-yarders. Barely feeling it today. Making progress!

Oh, and worst kick of the day was by Ike Reese (41 year-old former Eagles LB and current sports radio host), who tried a 20-yarder that never left the ground and went parallel to the goal line, hitting the row of family and firends that were there for the contestants.

I thought for sure that guy was going to drill it from 40 for the walk off win... He actually kicked it over the net from 30 or 35 from what I remember. In the end, the pressure was too much.Another of the guys in the final 3 (wearing a skull cap), had to be a former high-school or former/current college kicker. He was no-nonsense in setting up and kicking and booted a couple down the middle (pre-40 yard attempts) that could have been good from 50+.

What got me was that the guy who went before me at 25 missed. I thought he was one of the favorites (younger guy who kicked left footed - I think his mom brought him). So that got in my head a bit, and sure I enough I missed too. Kicking Fg's is very much a mental challenge....
Here is my miss: http://youtu.be/9Efwk3L0QxsIt's so cool that Noid and Lizard Kings were both in this. Would've loved to see a better ending for either of you. I'm still interested to hear if the winner makes it so let us know. Homemade video posted here is even better! Thanks guys.
Damn... could have used that $20K for a new camera.Here is my miss: http://youtu.be/9Efwk3L0QxsIt's so cool that Noid and Lizard Kings were both in this.

Well that is from my brothers iphone and he emailed it to me so it probably got compressed. If I can get a better copy of it, I will repost it.Damn... could have used that $20K for a new camera.Here is my miss: http://youtu.be/9Efwk3L0QxsIt's so cool that Noid and Lizard Kings were both in this.
