Who am I?

October 4, 2008 by Paul Gotham 12 Comments

I was born in Fetsund, Norway and eventually earned a scholarship for skiing at Montana St. While there I was spotted kicking a football, and the rest is history. When I retired after 19 seasons in the NFL, I held records for the most career field goals and the most seasons over 100 points. I kicked three field goals in a Super Bowl victory. During my career I played in two AFL All-Star games and four Pro Bowls. I earned one All-Pro nomination. Sporting News and the Pro Football Writers lauded me with a variety of awards.

    There’s Hertz, and there’s not exactly. You got the latter.

    Anyone else looking forward to Wally’s article about the Irish / Cardinal game?

    Absolutely yes on Wally’s article.

    And may I add, who? I am at a disadvantage with all you old timers in here. We finally get out of baseball on “Who am I?” and you bring up an NFL kicker from the 17th century.

    Consider it my attempt to add to your already impressive knowledge of sports history.

    Oh yeah – Rey – no one has said you can’t use the internet as a resource to find answers.

    No way! That’s cheating. It’s more interesting to see who actually knows these. And I see your point. I now know who Jan is and now I know that Morten Anderson is from Denmark.

    Ah – the beauty of the Clipboard.

    17th Century, huh…
