Vanderjagt plays in CFL. US relieved


Once named the most accurate kicker in the NFL, and after being cut by the Dallas Cowboys, Mike Vanderjagt returns to professional football to the only place that likes him: Canada.

Mike Vanderjagt has signed with the Toronto Argonauts, a team he use to play for back in the mid-80's before he left to go to the NFL for "fame and fortune". “When you fish and golf enough and you’re only 38 years old and you feel you can still do it. I miss the area and I miss my family and friends. It became a good opportunity, assuming Toronto wanted me, to be able to kick for a few more years," Mike Vanderjagt said in a press conference.

So I guess being called the "idiot kicker who got liquored up and ran his mouth off a lot" by Peyton Manning, being cut by the Dallas Cowboys, and attending training camps with the Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs only no not get signed, and your depleting bank account; didn't make you want to go to Canada like a little baby? Riiiiight.
