Many people know the name Mike Vanderjagt. If you are from Indianapolis, all you can do is shake your head and get pissed off when you hear that name. I was looking at the top news articles, and stumbled across the following story.

Vanderjagt returning to CFL with Toronto Argonauts
Kicker Mike Vanderjagt, abruptly cut by the Cowboys during the 2006 campaign after signing a big-money (for an idiot kicker) deal in the offseason, has been unable to find work in the NFL since then. And so he's apparently giving up.
Vanderjagt reportedly will sign with the Toronto Argonauts, returning to the team for which he played through 1997, before jumping to the Indianapolis Colts according to Profootballtalk.com.
Vanderjagt, who kicked West Virginia University, is the most accurate kicker in NFL history. But he also has a history of missing key kicks, including the one he put into the Gatorade bucket against the Steelers to punctuate a stunning 2005 divisional playoff loss.

All I can say about that is; It's about time! He was an accurate kicker, when he wasn't choking on the 30 yard kicks in important games. I would be lying if I said that I didn't laugh when I read this article.
