Have You Seen This? Fan comes up clutch to help kicker miss

ULTIMATE FAN — If you're a place-kicker in college football or the NFL, it's been a rough go this season.

We get it, it's a tough job.

As everyone is watching the football game, you're on the sidelines kicking a football into a net a few feet in front of you to warm up. But then when you get onto the field, it's nothing like that little net.

There's actual people — big, angry, and sometime scary-looking dudes — trying to prevent you from doing your job of kicking said football between two goal posts.

Sometimes that ball is close to the goal posts and other times it's further back.

Oh, and then there's the snapper and holder who have equally important tasks in making sure you do your job, but nobody thinks about them, and certainly none of the blame gets thrown their way.

Remember, you wanted to be the kicker where it's all glory or pure destruction — there's no in between here.

Sometimes these kicks can be downright entertaining, like when the football doinks off each post somehow and still finds a way to not cross that important threshold. There was also a kick earlier this season where the football hit the top of the goal post — haven't seen that one before.

Oh, and then there's the widely inaccurate ones that are so far left or right that you might as well have just kicked the ball into the ground.

But what happens when a fan of a team uses a fan (no, a box fan, you know, where air is blown through to cool down a room? You still with me?) to push a kick wide right?

Let's give it a watch.

That convinced me! How else would that kick miss?

I'm not going to go as far and say the Philadelphia Eagles are cheating to win games, but I'm not not saying that either. I mean, how else can they be 5-0? Instead of the refs worrying about supposed roughing the passer calls, maybe they can worry about fans using fans to influence games.
