	OK, first of all, yes I am a Vikings fan. Second, my FFL kicker
	is Chip Lohmiller. I dont have Ruzek, so if he misses or not, I 
	really could care less. One of my co-workers is a huge eagles fan
	that is why I was looking at their stats. Being in FFL has nothing 
	to do with getting lives. Why such a harsh attitude? Geez.

	Nope. I can think of alot better kickers than Ruzek.
	Lohmiller,Stoyanovich,Anderson,Andersen,Christie,etc.
	Ruzek is not a premiere kicker.

	My main point was that missed PAT's will come back to haunt
	a team. You may miss 1-2 PAT's in a season, but not 4 is just
	2 games! I feel that is unacceptable. Just MHO.
