September 13Sep 13 Just now, SL Xpress said: It's crazy how much more accurate field goal kicking has become in my lifetime. I looked on that list for who is the highest percentage kicker that retired before 2000. It's Nick Lowery, at #75. Whats even crazier is they are able to be accurate while kicking consistently longer field goals.
September 13Sep 13 It's crazy how much more accurate field goal kicking has become in my lifetime. I looked on that list for who is the highest percentage kicker that retired before 2000. It's Nick Lowery, at #75. I went down a YouTube rabbit hole recently and watched highlights of a Cowboys/Redskins game from the early 90s. At one point the Cowboys committed a penalty that took the upcoming field goal from, I think, 40 yards to 45 yards. The announcer said “They may have just taken themselves out of field goal range.” That part of the game has certainly changed.
September 13Sep 13 I was just telling my son that over 50 yards used to be the hail Mary type of kick you'd only try at the end of a half when you had no other options. Now, it's almost routine under 60. It's as if you start paying people millions to get really good at a very specialized skill, at least 32 people will answer the call.

September 16Sep 16 Dicker's name should be "retired" on DKR with Layne, Nobis, Earl, Ricky, VY, and Colt Edited September 16Sep 16 by chainsaw

October 16Oct 16 Popular Post It's a pretty cool story. Not drafted and struggles to catch on with a team as he's cut by the rams and ravens before seeing any action. Philly picks him up on the practice squad, he fills in for one week and kicks the game winner, then Philly lets him go. Chargers have to pick him up a month later, and he promptly kicks the game winner for them as time expires. Chargers were smart enough to hang onto him, and now he's just L-I-V-I-N it up in SoCal on a $22M contract (12.5 guaranteed). Dicker the f'n kicker!
December 10Dec 10 U.S. Customs rules and regulations require that imported goods from China be conspicuously and legibly marked with their country of origin. Wonder if all Dicker's field goals and extra points have to be stamped "Made in China?" (Let's not tell Trump; he'd probably tack a 1/2-point tariff on 'em.) Way to go, great Longhorn. Wish we'd had you last year.
