Semi-OT: More punter suspension carnage
Apparently it's a lot harder for punters to stay out of trouble than we thought. The latest offender: LSU punter Brad Wing.
Now, I would think that it would be even dumber for a specialist like a punter to get in trouble than a regular player. 32 men per year can make six-figure salaries by being good punters, but it's not a position a team is going to take a big risk on. Guys like Hagerup and (maybe) Wing are seriously jeopardizing their earning potential when they get in trouble; in contrast, superior athletes get many more chances to perform and stay out of trouble.

I don't have any daughters, but if I ever do, I'll be damned if she ever dates a punter!

Sometimes, punters are flat-bottomed dutch ships and not people.

I don't think it is a "punter" issue. It's a kicker issue. Who can forget VT's place-kicker getting suspended from the Sugar Bowl for being a criminal.
Who knows what Jason Hanson is like behind that tiny little facemask. Probably another Gangsta just doing what he do...

I'm sure you know this, but Hanson is an extremely bad example to joke about. There's not a better guy in the NFL.
He had to try out to keep his job this season, too, and he did. I suspect that whenever he loses the job he'll retire, and I'll be sad when it happens.

I'd say for the purposes of his particular joke, Jason Hanson was actually the perfect example.

Sorry Stephen...but.if this isnt the face of a stone cold gansta I have never seen one....
Hide the women & children.

And when you hold the Milano cookie just so...

"Wing came to LSU to get pussy and make it to the NFL. He's done both. He's not coming back."

I once saw Ray Guy stab a man for looking at him cross-eyed. When he found out the guy had a lazy eye, Ray didn't even care.

Please stay in Cleveland! We love you Phil!

that is one HUGE forehead!

Incidentally, the Phil Dawson rule allows field goal and extra point attempts that hit the uprights or crossbar to be reviewed.

For the love of god, please tell me that image is distorted!

IIRC this is the guy that got a TD called back on a fake punt last year for celebrating before reaching the endzone.

Honestly; if all I had to do at practice was kick a football around, I'd be getting stoned too.

By staying out of trouble though, Therin lies the dilemma. Young adults not understanding the value of six figures having trouble with trouble.
