GUY VANDERJERK -- I mean Vanderjagt -- has returned to the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, according to published news reports.
Good. Now that the Argonauts are stuck with Mr Wide Right, it should mean even smoother sailing for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, whom I think all can agree are due to win the Grey Cup again this year. True, the two teams are in separate divisions, but they do play each other during the year, and so I'm excited to see the Argos tilt the scales even more in the Riders' direction. Yeah.
Mr Vanderjagt, an Ontario native whom you-know-who famously dismissed as that "idiot kicker," was the most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history. However, some observers -- like me -- believe this accomplishment is overrated. After all, the teams he played for hold games indoors and as such, don't have to deal with pesky things like "wind" and "rain" and "snow."
