With a couple seconds to go in a game against the Oakland Raiders, I had the chance to win the game on a field goal. The Raiders had called time-out. I happened to look over and Coach Vermeil was saying, "Come over here," which was odd because I was focused on what I was about to do. I ran over, and he said, "When you make this kick, I have a bottle of Bryant Family Cabernet Sauvignon for you." And I asked, "What vintage?" I couldn't believe he was talking about wine in this situation. I made the kick. The NFL got wind of it and decided it was against the salary cap rules.

What vintage?

Vermeil: 1930
Andersen: I remember 1930! I was 15 years old then, what a year, still innocent, no Hitler…
Vermeil: Just kick the damn ball.

The NFL owes a lot of it popularity in Denmark to Morten Andersen. He has really been a catalyst to NFL coverage in Denmark. I’m a chiefs fan because of Morten Andersen too. After the states Denmark are the country that shows the most games. Not bad for a country with 5.5 million residents.

Whew...

They’re certainly making a play for the polar cap region’s ocean floor. This must really sting for the NCL (National Curling League). And Carlsberg is pretty good.
