Patriots sign K Shayne Graham

It's interesting to me that kickers and punters don't cross train so they can fill the other's role in case of an emergency. The back up QB could be the holder. I mean come on, kicking is kicking.

Or maybe some do.

To me and you they look similar, but apparently they are quite different.

Solid footing - The Boston Globe

When recruiters came calling with scholarships, they were not interested in Vinatieri as a quarterback. His options were limited to kicking opportunities. He went to South Dakota State, where he set a season record of 38 PATs and a career scoring record of 185 points. Yet something went awry in his senior season, when he converted just 4 of 12 field goal attempts, underwhelming numbers for a pro prospect. Vinatieri's punting average that season was a healthy 43.5 yards, but on draft day, nobody called his name.

"That's my fault," said Daly, his coach at South Dakota State. "I messed him up a little bit by having him do the punting and the kicking. There are some similarities to the techniques, but a lot of differences, too. When I asked him to do both, he lost some kicking ability. It hurt him as far as the NFL went. The scouts liked his leg, but they didn't like his consistency."

well first of all, Ben is a pile of sh*t so F him.

second, I think girls crying rape after hooking up with a guy is a rare thing.

It may be rare, but it's sure as hell a lot more common when the guy in question's famous and a millionaire.
