this guy makes way too much sense. the whiners will not like it.
On this particular point the author displays complete ignorance about the kicking in football. Distance is ALWAYS the issue on a long field goal attempt -- even if the kicker has gotten plenty of distance on the kick and missed wide to either side. The goalposts appear closer together from a longer distance, and even a kicker who is capable of hitting a 60-yard field goal will use different mechanics for a 50-yard attempt than for a 30-yard attempt.
