Ken McKusickHOST
But it's the sixth longest, tied for the sixth longest kick in NFL history.
Ken McKusickHOST
There were several 64s there for a while that beat the 63, which was Tom Dempsey's kick that was the all-time record.
Ken McKusickHOST
And then Tucker increased it to 66, and then Jaguars kicker last year broke it twice.
Ken McKusickHOST
I think 68 and 70, if I recall correctly.
Ken McKusickHOST
It will remain like the fifth lowest of all time of players with 50 or more kicks, and yet he had the longest field goal in NFL history for 17 years from 1953 until 1970.
Ken McKusickHOST
And that 1970, of course, was broken by Tom Dempsey at 63 yards.
Ken McKusickHOST
That stood it for many years until several kickers had a kick of 64 yards.
Ken McKusickHOST
Loop's kick ties that.

Uh, Greg Cody announced that he's a man's man because when he's inaccurate about someone having a club foot he says it.
Dan Le BatardHOST

Jason ColvinHOST
He's deadpin in his d- delivery, and he's funny to watch," said Barr.

Martin Mull, 46, hit a personal record 47-yarder during one of the practice sessions this year, and he says his goal is, "To kick my age until I'm 64, at which point I'll eclipse Tom Dempsey's NFL record for the longest field goal." He was-
