New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski once famously said, “I don’t know much about football. I know about kicking.” That puts him in contrast to the Houston Dynamo fullback Craig Waibel — Waibel! — who clearly knows something about (Association) football and kicking. As you can see in this video, he’s also thrown down the gauntlet on every NFL kicker out there by kicking this 63-yard field goal for charity.
Granted, he didn’t do it with 290-pound men in riot gear coming after him, but hey, anyone who can kick a 63-yard field goal will probably get some phone calls from NFL teams. The Kansas City Chiefs considered giving Mia Hamm a job after she kicked a few 50-yarders in practice. Given what MLS pays these days, I actually wouldn’t be all that surprised if Waibel listened.
