Taking a break from vacation photos, let's think for a moment about the lowly Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here you see placekicker Matt Bryant, with three seconds on the clock and the Eagles ahead by one, attempting a 62-yard field goal.
Yeah, right, we said. Game's over, we said. What time does the baseball game start, we asked.
He made it, straight down the middle with yards to spare. The ball went over the goal with so much air under it that he'd have broken the NFL record if he'd kicked the ball from two yards farther back.
A great lesson in nevers: Never give up, and never leave the game until it's over. The fat lady never had a chance to start singing. It was good.

Go Bucs! And I find it ironic that they won the week before after a missed 62 yard field goal! L
