Mike Vanderjagt, Kicker

Legendary NFL/CFL Kicker Mike Vanderjagt talks about whether he or Donovan Bailey ‘owns’ the Town of Oakville, his WVU college kicking debut [9yd punt in front of 76,000 fans televised on ESPN], his Arena Football League experience with the Minnesota Fighting Pike [actually a Walleye in the logo!], his back-2-back Grey Cup championships with the Flutie/Clemons Argonauts [and how he lost & recovered the actual Grey Cup!], his 9 NFL seasons finishing as the most accurate kicker in history, why you ‘punt for show and kick for dough,’ his interactions with Peyton Manning/Edgerrin James/Marvin Harrison/Bill Parcells/Jerry Jones/Don Matthews, kicking a 46 yard field goal on the streets of Manhattan with David Letterman as his holder, installing full sized NFL regulation uprights in his Milton backyard, his top-of-the-line 99 rating on Madden, and serving as the kicking stand-in for noted thespian Tony Danza in The Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon...and by the way, maybe you heard that he had a bit of a brouhaha with Peyton Manning back in 2002???
