One of many tweets on the subject. Cliff notes: Kaeding pulled his groin and is potentially out on Sunday. Nick's been re-signed and is currently on the team flight to KC. annieheilbrunn: Just heard from a source that Novak signed with Chargers today and will be kicking Sunday. #Chargers (45 seconds ago from Twitter for BlackBerry®)
BB_Chargers: Chargers Sign K Nick Novak. Hide the Gatorade http://bit.ly/TOoQTb #Chargers (21 minutes ago from twitterfeed) NCTBair: Let's clarify and eliminate all uncertainty. Novak is chargers kicker on Sunday. They left kaeding in San Diego. (37 seconds ago from Twitter for iPhone)
Thanks Syd...I feel very fortunate that the guy who battled for the kicker job was available, signed, and on the plane...let's hope he makes 15 of his first 16 again!!!
"Gee-WHIZ, I'm glad to be back on the sideline," exclaimed Novak... "I'm gonna leave it all on the field, in KC...no holding back." http://www.atdhenet.tv/ expects to deliver streaming video, so even if you aren't in the KC or San Diego markets, yer in luck. (Blewy prohibited me from putting "yer in" in yella)
You don't piss into the wind, you don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't pull the mask off of the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Nick.
Pointy, I've read enough of your posts to suspect that you already had this image just laying around... it's your dream porta-potty!
didn't see the other thread.. Mods please erase this . **EDIT: Easy fix I just merged the threads. Not sure if you posted an article or something? Feel free to re-post - Syd**
Oh, I see how it is! It's not funny when I write "yer in luck"...but when little Miss Cutie riffs off it with "urine trouble" suddenly it's freakin' hilarious! Bloody sexism is what it is! When is the older, white male ever gonna get a fair shot in this country!?! (for God's sake, we've only held 43.5 of the 44 presidencies...proof positive we're being held back unfairly)
Nick Novak may not get cut if & when Kaeding returns, he might get traded. Looking at what he did last season, and on Sunday, there may be a few GMs of teams with shaky placekickers who are calling AJ, and possibly offering a late round draft pick in exchange for Novak when his services are no longer required here.
