I think I heard he was in a nursing home

I was surprised they allowed him to kick with that shoe. Had to be a unfair advantage.

Two of those 4 kicks from 63 yards, Dempsey's and Gano's, came on the final play of their games The modified shoe after an analysis from ESPN Sports Science, was determined to offer Dempsey no advantage and the smaller contact area was likely to reduce his margin for error.

Dempsey had been in rough shape for a long time, he could barely sign his name 15 years ago. I forgot he was still alive until i saw the news last night.

I still remember seeing that kick live on TV. What an emotional moment. Alex Karros was on the Detroit Defense and said they didn’t rush very hard as they figured he had no chance to make it.

It's funny watching that kick just make it over the cross bar and the goal post being right on the goal line.
