Philly kicker manned up
NFL kickers often get a bad rap (somewhat justified) because they have it easier than most players. They don't have to go through the rigorous training that most of their teammates do.
We can give Philadelphia Eagles kicker David Akers a little bit of a grace period. Today, he overcame a painful hamstring injury to kick the game-winning field goal against the Oakland Raiders with just a few seconds left on the clock.
Whether you love or hate the Eagles, you have to give the guy a lot of credit. Seeing him take the field with one good leg, and kick the winning field goal, was uplifting.
