I totally could've done that...maybe.

So I'm at the Argo's - Ticat's game yesterday night...last regular season game and a chance to clinch first in the east for the Argo's (not that it matters since we all know the BC Lions will take win it this year - but I digress).

There's just over 40,000 fans at this game, which is a rediculous number for a regular season CFL game, and by halftime, with the Argos blowing away the last place Ti-cats, all any of the fans cared about was Brian Diesbourg. Brian who? Exactly.

This guy apparently got his name drawn last week from a TSN-Wendy's promotion in which he gets to attempt field goals at half time for $1,000,000! He wasn't allowed to practice all week except for one, half hour session with the Argo's placekicker Prefontaine.

His first kick from 20 yards for a $1000 prize is wide right. -he's probably just nervous with all these fans watching

2nd kick from 30 yards for some Sony prizes is wide right. -he's probably trying too hard to not overcompensate left, he'll get the next one

3rd kick from 40 yards for a complete Sony home theater is wide right. -boooooo! This guy sucks $ss. How on earth is he going to win the million bucks.

If you haven't guess from the picture, 4th kick from 50 yards out is right down the pipe. The stadium goes nuts. Brian stands there, arms in a 'V' all stunned. Brian's girlfriend gives him a hug and vows never to let go. The entire Wendy's advertising staff behind this fantastic idea is fired. Everyone goes home thinking that they totally could've kicked that field goal. -EL
