I read an article about recently retired NFL kicker Mike Vanderjagt. Mike currently lives down in Florida and works in a pizza place with his brothers. The pizza place is at the very tip of Florida, almost hiding from the world. Mike retired from the NFL in 2008. He has the best field goal percentage of all time. He made 86.5 percent of all of his kicks, missing only 36 field goals in his entire career. Vanderjagt was considered a jerk and very cocky by fans and even players. Mike seemed to walk around as if he was a skilled player and even gave attitude. He is know for giving negative comments about the Colts team saying he didn't see them going anywhere. Peyton Manning, the quarterback of the team, responded harshly to these comments. He called Vanderjagt and drunk and an idiot for saying those things. Although Peyton and Mike have moved on, it ruined Mikes career. Mike has papers proving that he wasn't drunk, and never has been an alcoholic. He hasn't shared the papers with anyone, he just wants the world to know what Peyton said was false. But fans still think beer or drunk when they hear his name. This gave Mike a very bad image. But what a lot of people don't know is how hard he worked to get to where he is. He was cut from multiple colleges and ended up playing football in Canada in the 90's. Colts recruited him, and he ended up leading the team in scoring in 1999. He says even though he walked around with confidence, he always went out on the field thinking if he missed the field goal, he would be cut. Eventually Mike quite after he went from amazing to mediocore, and that wasn't good enough for him. But it seems his comments and Peyton's reaction never left him his whole career. This can be compared to current players such as Michael Vick who was involved with dog fights. Also, Big Ben who has been convicted of multiple sexual assault cases.
