How many of us laughed at Cody Parkey of the Bears when he missed that 43-yard field goal against the Eagles? Hell, I did! YOU\’RE A KICKER! YOU PRACTICE KICKING MILLIONS OF TIMES A WEEK AND THEN CHOKE! Easier said than done though. Chicago\’s Goose Island Brewery had the brilliant idea to re-create that 43-yard kick, setting up a makeshift field goal outside their building and gave 101 fans a chance to kick that field goal and win FREE beer for a YEAR!! Anyone successful?….uh, no. Lots of people falling on their butts though~
