    every person attending this game should go to a local high school field and practice kicking a football with these exact rules, for the week and a half. I would fucking love to see someone make this kick

    How the hell are they going to know you haven't kicked a football in five years? I'm just curious do they run an immediate background check on you including some kind of weird check to make sure you didnt just go kick a ball around on the local football field by yourself for fun a year and a half ago? jesus they don't really wanna dole it out do they?

    How does being a semi-pro football player (or for that matter a former college or high school football player) make me any more likely to make a FG? I'm a freaking LB- the last time I tried to kick a FG, it didn't even ROLL all the way to the goal post.


    That sucks....

    The Contestant shall not be permitted any practice, warm-up, or qualifying kicks, at anytime after his/her notification of participation in the Contest until the actual prize kick(s).

    My personal favorite rule.... I guess you'd have to wear a fake wig and moustache, or dress in drag to practice kicking at the local high school/college... unless Woody has the contestants on 24-hour surveillance, which he may have, to avoid paying out a dime.... cheap bastard

    What other teams are having million dollar contests? At the SB, WS or NCAA FF maybe not individual teams.

    ------------

    so if they catch you running in the concourse kicked a cup they will disqualify you?

    yeah I don't get that! Do they do a background check if you win. Call your high school to see if you ever touched a football.

    I'm sure if you made the kick they'd find any way possible to disqualify you.

    I'm also pretty sure it said in the rules that if you drafted a kicker in fantasy football you're disqualified.

    "Have you been injured participating in a field goal contest sponsored by the New York Jets? If so Jacoby & Meyers would like to hear from you. You may be entitled to large sums of cash as a settlement.

    Yes sir I was terribly injured in the field goal contest. I made the kick but was disqualified because i cheered too loudly after making a $150,000 kick. My pysche is so damaged right now, I'm fairly certain if given the chance a $1,000,000 extra point attempt by the jets I would surely come no closer than Scott Norward would have...

    I demand you find a way to make me over $10,000,000 in injury benefits and settlements for all of the pyschiatric treatments it will take to fix my oh so delicate mental health.

    What you all fail to realise, is that upon making this field goal, you are signed to a 1 year, $150k contract to become the new Jets kicker.

    You know I think seeing as how you have to "kick" the field goal to win it, I seriously doubt they will let you use the golf clubs in the trunk of your car!

    "If chosen contestant is a young female between the ages of 17 and 22 and wearing a mini skirt extending no more than 1 inch of english unit of measure below the lowest point of her vulva, then said contestant must strike the football wearing a stiletto style shoe with a thin heel measuring no less than 6 inches of english unit measure in length. Under this condition, 5 warm up kicks towards each end of the stadium will be allowed."
