I mentioned this in this morning's column, but it's an interesting read:

Speaking of which, anyone know where I could find a full vid of this game? I want to re watch it over the summer once basketball season is over.Good thing this guy actually DID make a clutch FG in SD.

Nah it got taken down.It's on YouTube.

Wow, that is pretty interesting. and I suppose none of us would have griped about getting rid of a rookie kicker who just missed 4 straight field goals. In fact, we'd probably be more puzzled if they stuck with him.
It's also crazy to think that once this season begins he'll have played more seasons on the Colts than with the Patriots.
Also hit the post and missed at the buzzer vs. KC in October '99. Pats were undefeated up to then and lost by 2 that day. But, man, the vast majority of the time he was "Money."Always came through when needed, except for that 29 yard field goal in San Diego

I think the NYFL is reviewing the game to see if McCree intentionally gave the football to Brown (conspiracy = unintegrity)It's not on YouTube.

Just speaking for myself, but I feel his misses stick out more in my mind because they happened so infrequently. I tend to not dwell much on the negative mainly because I go back to the very beginning in 1960 and remember all too well the massive suckitude that was this franchise for f###### decades.Yes, that's the one that sticks out in my mind.....almost a great rally from Bledsoe and Co.
I suppose this chain does say something about us fans, though. After all, as you noted he is the clutchest kicker in NFL history (not just Pats history) and we are reliving the few times he missed.
