Reading your original post, I see you're not arguing against this being a record but just that altitude has SOME effect. I got no qualms with that. You can disregard my other response.
Here's the point you're seeming to miss when Ziptie talks about the net advantage; temperature has an effect on flight distance. Yes, in 14F weather at sea level, this kick would have fallen short. However, I can make the same argument against Akers and Dempsy about the temperature. Had Dempsy's kick been attempted at…
Her song could've been a lot more METAL had she seen this photo.
You humor detector needs recalibrating.
Hey thanks! The coldest being 36f warmer than Prater's, to me, makes this all the more impressive. The main point is that there are many other factors besides altitude and regardless of any of them, that was one hell of a boot.
They can all go back to Florida for all I care. I hated being lumped in with those Jesus-juicers.
Yeah altitude certainly had an effect, but so did the cold. I would be interested to see the temperature at the time of the 63-yarders.
Prater was the unsung hero of the insane Tebow saga in Denver; scoring the majority of the Broncos' points. Happy to see him get a moment in the sun. He murdered that football.
So so sad. I mean with useless signage like that, how will Dwayne Bowe ever figure out their hours of operation?
He must be an avid chess player.
