"Many big people were chasing me. I didn't know what to do. So I thought I would surprise them and throw it."
- Garo Yepremian, Miami placekicker, after a disastrous attempt to throw a pass in the Super Bowl.
- roshanr 12y agoSame here. I had no idea who Yepremian was before I read that quote. In addition to the video, Google led me to his story, which I found fascinating, particularly how he got into football: Yepremian and his brother Krikor emigrated to the U.S. to set a foundation for their parents' arrival. At a loss for a viable life plan, Yepremian happened to watch a few minutes of a football game on television. Yepremian told Krikor he knew the key to success in America: He believed he could kick field goals for a living. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garo_Yepremian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garo_Yepremian
