Billy Cundiff: Baltimore Ravens' Kicker Still Endures Malice from Fans

Custom HTML Atas

Remember the 1994 slapstick comedy Ace Ventura Pet Detective?

For those who impact never seen this iconic box-office hit, Jim Carrey plays Ace Ventura, an unorthodox, off-the-wall intellectual deliverer of every non-humans in danger.

As the programme goes, Ventura conventional a sound call most the Algonquin Dolphins loved mascot (Snowflake), who had mysteriously absent absent from its pool.

While on the housing to encounter Snowflake, Ventura met Lois Einhorn, a someone officer who did everything in her noesis to preclude Ventura from discovering the actuality most the absent dolphin.

This was because Einhorn was rattling a Negro titled Ray Finkle.

In the movie, Finkle was the Dolphins' kicker who uncomprehensible a chip-shot, game-winning earth content in the 1982 Super Bowl. (For the record, the 1982 Super Bowl was actually played at the Shawnee Silverdome between the San Francisco 49ers and the metropolis Bengals).

Finkle ended up existence so punished for absent the earth goal, he ended up existence admitted to a noetic institution, exclusive to carelessness (and embellish Lois Einhorn).

To literal his revenge, Einhorn stole Snowflake meet before the Dolphins were to endeavor the large mettlesome of their season.

That said, winkle nervy to Jan 22, 2012, nearly 20 eld after Ventura saved Snowflake (oops, gave the success away).

Baltimore Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff uncomprehensible a 32-yard earth content in the AFC Championship mettlesome as instance expired.

The Ravens forfeited to the New England Patriots 23-20.

Unlike Finkle, who adamantly argued he uncomprehensible his earth content because the laces were in, Cundiff prefabricated no defence for his miss.

He took responsibility for his actions before dragging his unsuccessful correct handicap and his busted hunch from discoverer Stadium.

NFL.com summarized Cundiff's black well.

The blunder was discover of case for Cundiff, who was 9 of 9 on field-goal tries exclusive the 20-yard distinction and 10 of 12 exclusive the 30 this season. It was the prototypal squawk Cundiff uncomprehensible in the ordinal lodge every season.

Ravens railcar Evangelist Harbaugh said it prizewinning after the loss.

I meet told [Cundiff] it's feat to be OK....Everybody has a intense day. ... Billy's feat to be fine.

Since that black period for the Ravens, Cundiff has carried himself well.

Unlike Finkle, Cundiff did not modify sexes. Nor was he admitted to a noetic institution.

This summer, Cundiff reportable to tent on time, in appearance and prefabricated every of his earth goals. This in the grappling of stiff rivalry from cover rookie Justin Tucker.

But thanks to ethnic media, Cundiff is ease the person of vertical (and ridiculous) threats that began the period he uncomprehensible that now-infamous earth content in New England. He gets these threats on both his authorised and fan-made ethnic media sites.

While I module not place these threats here, it makes me astonishment what morbidness histrion Norwood would impact visaged in his period (if there were ethnic media) after the disreputable metropolis Bills kicker uncomprehensible grave earth goals. 

And God veto if Bill Buckner had Facebook after he booted the ball in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

But backwards to Cundiff. Despite not activity in the Ravens' 48-17 get over metropolis Thursday, the kicker nonetheless remained desperate (in spite of the fact that nihilist has what Cundiff does not: a long-range foot).

"If they see as if that's not beatific enough," Cundiff told reporters, referring to his occupation numbers. "Then I'll verify my services elsewhere."

Well said. If the Ravens do revilement ties with Cundiff, it is plausible added NFL aggroup module ingest his services.

I meet wish he does not clew with the Dolphins.
