NFL field-goal trivia

[gh]

who's the only guy in NFL history to block a field goal by jumping up and knocking it away in front of the crossbar?

Who will do it next?

[Rye Catcher]

How far out was the kicker?

[gh]

sorry, no idea

[lonewolf]

I'm thinking it had to be when the goalpost was on the goal line but I have no idea who..

Why does Harold Carmichael pop up in my mind...

[gh]

Not Carmichael.

I think the Chiefs had a really tall guy back in the 60s/70s, but I can't recall the name.

[gh]

nope, not Chiefs guy (whoever that was)....

this guy was only 6-3.

Here's a clue for you: the kicker was Bob Khayat

:-)

[Bruce Kritzler]

"Too Tall" Jones

[cullman]

R.C. Owens :-]

Correct----the answer to the second question is rather simple.

Khayat -- former chancellor of Ole Miss.

Which was correct? Owens or Jones?

[tandfman]

Correct----the answer to the second question is rather simple.

Yao Ming, when some team hires him as a Field Goal Swatter? :-)

I guess the answer is too tricky. It would be D, none of the above. After Owens did it, they made it illegal.
