[SWC]

i remember the vikings one because i was surrounded by viking fans and it was great to see them all feel sad because they were very boastful before that and the samauri gods taught them a lesson in humility but it failed totake because then they hired favre later on

Are the Samurai Gods against punctuation marks?

Never fails... Every time, I come across one of those long sentences. I always hear a nagging housewife's voice in my head.

The biggest FG miss of all time was good from 63 yards out....Tom Dempsey set the NFL record with a 63 yarder in NO's last game of 1969....The kick dropped the Saints to 1.2 in the draft, and allowed the Bills to select OJ Simpson.

That was not the last game of the season; it was in the middle of the season.

Ryan Longwell's XP attempt against the Bears in the second regular season game of 2009. If he makes that, the Vikes go 13-3 and have home field advantage through out the playoffs, and IMO beat the Saints to go to the SB.

Uwe Friggin Von Schamann missed 2 crtical FG's in the greatest game ever played. He could have been a hero....instead he is a joke in Dolphins history.

Norwood wins in a landslide. David Letterman did a great schtick on it afterwards.

But in college, the title has to go to Free Shoes University for Wide Right I, II, III, IV, and then Wide Left. How many national titles did that cost FSU? A beautiful thing.

This one was pretty awful.

That amateur act was the last straw for Al Davis. Lane Kiffin was fired before the next game.

I was about to say maybe Kiffin had more faith in that than in the punter but you guys have Lechler.

Nice story but it's not true. Simpson was drafted in 1969, Dempsey's kick was 1970.

Cee Lo Green said it best...And I can't believe this hurts so much still....but it does.

I'll never forget Robbie Gould's miss in the wind... Definitely not the most famous, nor was it very important, but it was pretty cool nonetheless:

Morten Andersen miss that allowed the fledgling Jaguars into the '96 playoffs and wind up in the AFC Championship game.
