    Yeah I am thinking of another time where Andersen tried another 59 or 60 yarder to actually win a game against the Bears (I think) and it went wide right by just 2 feet, but was long by some 5-6 yards easily.

    I think the game I was thinking of when he hit the 60 yarder was against the Bears just before the half, in which the Saints were 7-0 going into the game and we had held the Bears to less than 100 yards offense until the last drive, in which the Bears scored a TD and won the game.

    I guess steroids haven't taken a hold on kickers like the other positions. ;) :thumb:

    It's easier to kick a football long distances with a shoe having a square end.

    Hmmm.. but is it easier to get a running start for a kick when you are missing half a foot?

    that big wood chunk on the front is out of control. i think they should throw out his record.

    I think shoes with a flat front like that were declared illegal by the NFL a few years after the record.
