Shane Lechler goes for whacking the absurd video board at X-Box 360 Stadium in Dallas on Thanksgiving, the Cowboys #1 special teams device for keeping punts low and straight.
It's only 90 feet up there, and the man with the biggest foot in football goes for keeping his potentially record-setting 51.5 yard avg. in fine form. It's gonna be tough if he can't go for the hang time. And, these aren't line drives he's kicking. The are looong AND high.
"Yeah, I could hit it," Lechler says. "If that guy in Tennessee can hit it, I can hit it." Hey, that's Cellar to Cellar, so they oughta know. These are guys who have to ice down their leg after the game. Even with a win and a new QB under their belts, the Raydurz should still give Lechler 7-10 shots at it. The more you punt, the further you are from victory, but boy you sure get the practice!
So, if Lechler doesn't set the record, we can blame Jerry Jones and America's Team. Sounds fine to me. I blame Jerry Jones for global warming.
Do the Raydurz have a chance? The Cows are the worst 7-3 team in the league, but I think reality is going to visit Mr. Cellar there under rump for the Raydurz. He's gonna look like a hunted animal and get the stuffing knocked out of him. I'm predicting 3 interceptions, 2 fumbles, and 5 sacks, and...lots of punts. Also, Raiders typically follow up good defensive efforts with a stinker.

KITTENS-Packers! It's at Ford Field! QB Matthew Stafford dislocated his left shoulder (non-do-anything hand) on the next to last play of the wild win over Cleveland, and he's 'questionable' for the game. Without him, Daunte Culpepper steps in, can't move, and gets hammered. Kittens should get back on the schnied no problem.
Packers 28 Kittens 7
