I'm hearing alot about Kruger lately...

I did not know that Stover had hung up his kicking shoes. Just goes to show that you learn something new every day. I hope that these new kids that we have turn out to be good. It will be strange not seeing Stover out there.

Pretty sure that Matt Stover never had a mohawk and black fingernails, let alone played for any team other than the Ravens/original Browns...

I agree with the first part, but I'm pretty sure that he was drafted by the New York Giants though he didn't technically play for them.

[quote]Stover was drafted by the New York Giants with the 329th selection in the 1990 NFL draft. He couldn't displace incumbent Matt Bahr, but would get the kicking job from the Cleveland Browns in 1991.[/quote]

The dream of my life was to become a professional football player. That dream came true on April 23, 1990, when I was drafted by the New York Giants. I was the only kicker chosen in the entire 1990 draft. The Giants went on to win the Super Bowl my rookie year.[/quote]

Steve Haushka won't win the job, he shanked a few yesterday and it looks like GG is outplaying him today.
