Did anybody catch the NFL players taking pk's against each other? lol. Funniest thing i've seen in a while. Deion Branch actually said that he's going to the Revolution after hes done with football, then he went on to kick the pk right at the goalie. Good stuff though.

Damnit! I missed it.
Did any of them looked like they had a clue as to how to kick a ball, or was it all toe pokes?

lol all mostly toe pokes. Branch kicked it with his laces but it went right at the goalie. One of em kicked a nice one off the side of his boot and he got the corner. But im prettty sure he got lucky.

How about a challenge where they take rugby kicks from all the angles rugby players do. Whenever I see them kicking for goal, the players are in front of the posts in AF.

In college football the hash marks (the spot they kick field goals from) are wider then in the NFL. Some of the closer field goal attempts in college can be at quite an angle....but not like you see in Rugby.

I thought it was pretty funny. A lot of the players had played youth soccer and were very confident. Eli Mannings kick wasn't bad. He put some power behind it and even though big brother Peyton got a hand to it, it had enough to get by him. Peyton's kick went right over the crossbar. Maybe he'll think twice before slamming his kicker the next time.

most of them didnt even make the goalie work, they were wide, high, or hit the crossbar

I would seriously pay to see AF players in rugby matches.
Those rugby guys are tough but they're stiff and kinda slow. I'd love to see guys like Dante Hall and Peter Warrick go and break some ankles.
