63-Yard Field Goal Kick by 49'ers David Akers Makes NFL Football History And Inspires Me to Risk
and Try - What have I got to Lose.
I don't know about you but I love watching football especially the SF 49'ers.
Football season has arrived with the first games opening last week. The most talked football game was the clash between the Green Bay Packers (15-1) vs SF 49'ers(13-3). Majority of the football analysts and the Las Vegas (5 point favorite) oddsmakers predicted the Greenbay Packers would win since the QB Rogers was the MVP last year and Packers had the most NFL win in 2011. The 49'ers hadn't won in Greenbay's Lambeau Field since 1990.
I believed the 49'ers would win last Sunday (9/8/2012). Last time I checked the defense was top-of-the-line. Defense. Defense. Defense. And Defensive players were able to hold & block & intercept the QB 12 Aaron Rogers' amazing passes to his receivers. The 49'ers underrated QB Alex Smith #11 outplayed the Greenbay Packers QB #12 & MVP.
What really caught my attention was the scene almost at the end of half-time. With 18 seconds left - David Akers chose to kick the 63-yard field goal and made it. 40-yard-kick is hard, 50-yard-kick is very hard. 63-yard-kick is very very hard.
I was watching tv and believed he was going to make it. After all enchantment is believing in doing the impossible. Whooo- whooooo- whooo- he DID make NFL history. David Aker's reaction says it all.
What an inspiration. To try even with a possible 99% failure rate. So keep trying even if you fall flat to your face and everyone mocks you if you didn't make it. However, there's also a possibility you might make it. Take a risk. What have you got to lose?
