MERGED: 60 yard FG contest?/Updated Correction: Actually is a 40 yard FG contest

Lol it is funny how many people bitched about Philbin micromanaging the players. This is the same thing....who cares! It is a stupid half time show. Maybe if nobody wins the money gets donated to charity or something like that. Either way, nobody who is not at the game will never even know about it. This is so ridiculous. I have seen basketball do full court shots for money. Nobody bitches about that. You waste time complaining about something that you don't even care about....let it go man, let it go!

30 yards with the control of your hands vs 60 yards with the control of your foot hmmmmmmmm. I've hit full court shots all you need is arm strength but I can't hit no 60 yard field goal and only for 10k lol

What if one of the three people makes the kick? Then what do we say?

I hope someone bangs it through! LOL.

I saw a game in Buffalo in wild wind. Selected fans could win a truck kicking a 30 yard field goal, but the ball had to land and stay in the bed of the truck. BTW, the kick was into the wind. I never saw a more impossible game to win.

I love the first comment. Does the 10k come with a contract? lol

My point is it is a stupid thing to worry about. Who cares what their halftime show is? Honestly, does it really matter? How many will even remember it by game time sunday? Of all the things to pile on the organization about, seems very low on the list. Just shows me how silly people are. As far as full court shots go, you need luck as well. I can throw a basketball the length of a court easily but to make a basket would be exceptionally difficult.

Better sign him to a contract immediately.

I think the bigger problem is that the one time I went to a game....vodka/cranberry was 14 dollars for a double. Now THAT is something that is worthy of a thread.lol

C'mon man...

What? Fair question, we don't know who these people are. It is a stupid distance(if it is actually accurate and not just a misprint), but maybe these people had to qualify to even do this by hitting a long field goal to begin with.

Honestly, I don't really care. I care more about the 60 minutes of game play than halftime events. All true fans will be watching the game on Sunday and paying attention to that, the pregame and half time festivities don't really matter to the majority. Even if they are ridiculous.
