Organizers of the "kick a field goal at halftime, win a million bucks" had to be feeling pretty good. They had yanked Average Joe out of the stands of the CFL game at halftime and given him his chore. Try a 20 yard field goal, then a 30 yard field goal, then a 40, and finally...if he hit the 50 yard field goal it was worth a million bucks. The shorter kicks were all worth different amounts of cash.
So Average Joe (played a little soccer in his day) tried the 20 yard field goal. Kick was short right. AJ tried the 30 yarder, short right. Back up ten and try the 40 yarder. Still short, still right.
Tee it up from 50 out. (Think kick it harder, aim farther left). Kicks...nails it down the middle, pockets $1 million bucks. According to AJ, he was thinking he just needed to try and kick it wide left and let it drift back right. And it did.
