As we continue to look for stories to fill the only real sssssslow period on the NFL calendar, a reader has pointed out to us video of a supposed 110-yard field goal from Redskins kicker Shaun Suisham.
The video is right here.
Obviously, the thing was doctored in some way, like the commercials featuring Neil Rackers banking footballs off the goal post and Mike Vick throwing the football out of the stadium and LeBron James sinking balls from the other end of the court with fairly normal jump-shot form. Even if someone other than a Disney donkey can kick a ball that far, it sure as hell wouldn’t happen with a two-step approach.
The weird thing here is that WUSA-TV is peddling the video of Suisham’s kick as legitimate. And if they intend it to be a joke, it sure doesn’t come off that way.

The camera work, the guys talking in the background, the whole setup is EXACTLY the same as the Mike Vick and Lebron James commercials.
But I might be interested in some granite counter tops!

@ gbo6969
Get a grip, Einstein. No one here thinks it’s real.
“AND ANY REDSKINS FAN KNOWS SUISHAM CANT GET THE BALL TO THE ENDZONE ON A KICK OFF EVEN IF HE’S KICKING INTO 30 MPH WINDS”
Or kicking WITH a 30 mph wind at his back. You’re right. He certainly won’t make it kicking INTO the wind.
Or we could all just go with the fact that it’s Shaun-freaking-Suisham and say we know it’s fake because he can’t do that on a chip-shot PAT. Hell, even the Cowboys said “No, thanks” to Suisham right before signing Wide Right.
