what's crazy is that dude is number 5 all time in FG percentage and could not get a job because he was such a mega douche

He was so not clutch. I vaguely remember a Thursday night season opener where he needed a chip shot to beat the Pats and he shanked that one too.

Mike Vanderjagt was the Kenny Powers of NFL kickers.

Made a reference to "our drunk kicker shooting his mouth off" at the pro bowl ...Vanderjagt didn't solely not get a job because he was a douche...after that missed FG, he was never the same...if I remember correctly he got picked up by another team but shortly was cut because he couldn't make routine FGs anymore...he went from most accurate kicker ever to 5th in a super short period of time.

He was essentially the Brad Lidge of kickers...after the Pujols homerun that still hasn't landed. Lidge did however get his confidence back but Vanderjagt was simply never the same.

The season after Manning called him that he didn't miss all year. First kicker in history to do it.

He went to Dallas after Indy cut him loose.

He kicked in the CFL for a season or two after that.

From his Wiki:

quote:

In 2012, Vanderjagt was investigated by police in Marco Island, Florida for allegedly grabbing a middle school student by the neck and cursing at him after the student taunted him over his infamous missed field goal in the 2005 playoffs. Vanderjagt was not charged in the incident.[12]

A student at a middle school in Marco Island, Fla., told police Vanderjagt grabbed him by the throat and was cursing at him after the boy taunted Vanderjagt. The boy was yelling "wide left, wide left," into a rolled up poster board fashioned into a megaphone, according to the Naples News.

Didn't he shank that playoff kick into row 38 after the Bus fumbled at the goal line (he's from Detroit) and Manning drove the Colts down in the final seconds.

Now that was probably the worst kick I've seen.
