Robash Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 any 85+ yard field goals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Nope -- myth got busted. Helium doesn't help -- might actually subtract an inch or two over the course of 70 yards. The magic is in the "mass" of an air filled ball, not the "lightness" of a helium ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I watched it also, but they never timed hang time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I watched them fill a 50' x 2' cylinder of PVC film with helium and the most weight it kept off the ground was 5 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vatican Hitsquad Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Did they address the rumor that Ray Guy kicked a ball so high it took down the Challenger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Did they address the rumor that Ray Guy kicked a ball so high it took down the Challenger? 1389044[/snapback] Yes, they mentioned it and it was sort of a reason why they pursued the myth.

Furd Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Did they address the rumor that Ray Guy kicked a ball so high it took down the Challenger? 1389044[/snapback] I thought that it was Chuck Norris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vatican Hitsquad Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I thought that it was Chuck Norris. 1389073[/snapback] Common mistake, Chuck Norris has gotten quite a bit of mileage off Ray Guy feats of strenght, atheletic ability and daring do. For example, a roundhouse kick delivered by Chuck Norris has frequently been attributed with being the preferred method of execution in 16 states. Not true, it is fact a Ray Guy boot to the sack. And its 17 states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzkek Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I thought that it was Chuck Norris. 1389073[/snapback] No. See, Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked it and the Challenger exploded. That's just what happens when Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I heard Mike Nugent kicked a raw chicken into the air and when it finally came down it was fully cooked with sides of coleslaw and mashed potatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrunt Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) I heard Mike Nugent kicked a raw chicken into the air and when it finally came down it was fully cooked with sides of coleslaw and mashed potatoes. 1389194[/snapback] Probably because Chuck Norris told him to... or else. On a more serious and side note, I researched and found that the leading causes of death in the United States are: 1. Heart Disease 2. Chuck Norris 3. Cancer The only reason Ray Guy exists is because Chuck Norris lets him. As with all of us. ...and now back to football!

Donutrun Jellies Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Or Tedi Bruschi? 1389076[/snapback] Once I figured out the direction of this thread, I was frothing to be the one who got this in here ... but I was beaten to it by the master ...
