    I was just thinkng about this the other day when one of the announcers alluded to it. So what exactly happened there? What is the story? Meola retired to play football?

    He tried out as a kicker for the NY Jets and was the final kicker cut.

    If he had tried out for the Giants now, he probably would have made the team :-(

    Maybe, the rush effected his accuracy :) The rush has a way of doing that.

    I thought his problem was hang time on Kick offs....and height on his kicks in general.....

    I also remember him choosing to try football because he had no desire to go overseas....

    I thought people did not like him when he tried his hand at dinner theather. He was in a play about acouples wedding. Lee Mazilli was a hit in that :)

    Tony and Tina's wedding......and from all accounts he did fine in that too......For anyone that has seen it...it ain't exactly Macbeth.......

    somewhat related....Why is he always getting slammed? seriously, I'm curious what he did to draw the ire of so many.

    Because it is fun to make fun of people from New Jersey? In all seriousness, I have no problem with Tony.
