Just heard a rumor that the Vikings cut him today. Anyone know if this is true?

Thanks for the link. Too bad. I guess he can always get a job at Applebees.

I'm sure it's the holder's fault.

Everytime I hear or read about Longwell, I think of Applebees. Now I'm hungry.

Had a friend in college work there. She called it "Apple-snatch". I could never get her to tell me why........

When Longwell gets ready to retire, he should sign a one day contract and retire as a Packer.

Not hard to maintain your "reliability" stats when the coach leaves it up to you whether or not to try difficult kicks outdoors in bad weather, and stats mean everything to you.

He's tailing off on his career. He wasn't all that great on FGs last year and has always had issues with kickoff depth. He's old and the Vikes are rebuilding.

And more.

Retire as a Packer? Kiwon, you're kidding, right?

You must not remember Jan or Chester!

Of coure that was so long ago I don't remeber if they were really that good in the first place.

Wow, Chester Marcol 61.7% life-time on FGs. 93.4% on extra points.

Jan Stenerud 66.8% life-time FGs. 80.8% as a Packer.

F that he should have his name taken off the roles of ever being a Packer.

He really was a crybaby bitch who never took responsibility for his own misses.

I don't think he's the 'leadership' type that you'd want to keep around.
