OT: Sometimes the bread lands jammy side up

The CFL has a "Kick for a Million" contest where one person would be
picked to kick 20, 30, 40, and 50 field goal tries for prizes at each
range and a million at 50. Out of the over 200,000 entries, they
randomly picked a soccer player who had never kicked a football
before. He just kicked in front of over 40,000 fans.
He missed right at 20 yards by an inch or so.
He missed right at 30 yards by an inch or so.
He missed right at 40 yards by an inch or so.
and then he stroked the 50 yarder right down the middle for a million
and these days, that's real money. :)
I can just imagine the original Wendys board meeting (the sponsor)
where this plan was hatched -- I'm sure they thought the million was
totally safe.
Love it . . . .
