Although Bryant's is third on the list, in terms of length it travelled the second greatest distance. If it were referred to as the third-longest, that would say that one of the 63-yarders would have to be referred to as second-longest in regards to the other 63-yarder (you can't have a third something unless there is a second something). 63 yards can't be second to 63 yards in terms of numeric ascension. Because the official records are measured in simple terms of yardage (not including additional feet or inches to the tally) it can't be regarded as the third-longest field goal.

I disagree. There are two field goals that are longer than Bryant's, so it cannot be the second-longest. There is no second-longest at present. As another person pointed out, in the Olympics, if there is a tie for first, the next finisher receives the bronze medal, not silver, because two people finished ahead of that person. I agree it isn't as clean, and my first thought was like yours--but that's they way they keep the records. If you look at | NFL.com's recap] of the game, you will see that the NFL is calling it the "third longest."  -- Sprkee 01:08, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "2nd-longest" vs. "3rd-longest" 

message: On his database football page it says he attended "Oregon State, Baylor, Panola JC, Trinity Valley CC".  I looked at the all-time lettermen list at OSU and he is not on the list, so that means he may have been anything from a 2nd string kicker (since letters are only given to people who play in 50% or more of a season's quarters), to a redshirt, to maybe just going to OSU and not even being on the football team.  Right now I am assuming that he was a 2nd string kicker there who transfered to a junior college because he wanted to play, then transfered to Baylor after a year in JUCO to finish his college career. I looked at Baylor's sports site and it said he attended from 1997-1998 (don't know if that means the 97-98 school year or if it means he attended for both the 1997 and 1998 seasons).  If anyone can find a realiable source for when he attended each school that would be nice, and you get a bonus if you find out what his time at Oregon State consisted of.
