Berger: Prater can break touchback record (Parental discretion advised)

by littletinybroncos on Nov 30, 2009 10:29 PM MST

Good interview with Mitch Berger, on KKFN this evening, with Alfred Williams. It isn't posted on their site yet. Hopefully tomorrow it will be.

Berger has sixteen NFL seasons with 10 teams. Guy's been around the block. He finally earned a Superbowl ring last year during a season that saw him cut due to leg miseries in midseason in favor of Paul Ernster - remember him - and re-signed after Ernster faltered in three games, just in time for Mitch to finish strong and earn a Superbowl ring with his dad, a Steel City native and Steeler fan, in attendance. Earlier in his career, back in the nineties, when Berger kicked off, he was no slouch. He has a reputation as a great tackler for a kicker, with two touchdown saving tackles and five in all during the '08 season. He is a former CU Buff. A bon vivant, he owns a string of nightclubs in Vancouver (Mitch is from B.C.)

In fact, here's Mitch with s ome sweet eye candy in Las Vegas this summer enjoy ing some time away from the stresses of the game. Hubba hubba!

Obviously, the man knows a thing or two about sick legs so his observations about Matt Prater's leg are probably pretty legit. He thinks Matt is a definite candidate to break the touchback record if the Broncos offense gets it in gear and he gets his fair share of attempts. I believe the record since kickoffs were moved back to the 30 is 30, allegedly set by Rhys Lloyd of Carolina in 2008. Matt has 16 at the moment. Mitch has been a very good influence on Matt. Since Mitch has come on board, Matt hasn't missed a field goal or PAT, and has consistenly whaled kickoffs into the end zone and beyond.

Mitch also thinks this year's team is a special group, and "loves what he has seen" from Josh McDaniels. Mentioned that McD obviously loves what he is doing and that his enthusiasm and his passion is contagious with the players. That was nice to hear of course.

Tune in to the interview if you get a chance. And please rec this post for the picture!

That's how I would live...

if I were an NFL player…

Because Montana has no professional sports, I gotta support the land of my birth.

Socrates was once executed for 'trolling'.
^Needs explaining: don't call someone asking uncomfortable, slightly antagonistic questions trolls. In all odds they probably just want to learn. It's real easy to differentiate a 'Socratic' post from a trolling one (unless you're a resident of WCG).
^Needs further explaining: I have yet to post anything on WCG, don't worry, I'm not trying to rationalize anything I've done. I've just lurked over there and man, they are the model of post-peloponnesian war Athens.

If girls like that are knocking boots with the punter, I can’t even imagine the kind of gal that B Marsh or Knowshon would rake in. Holy crap!!

Damn, man, why is it that punters always get all the girls?
