NFL Punter Adding Warcraft to Name?

For those of you who don't know Mr. FakePunts: www.fakepunts.com I'm a www.Diablo3.com extrodinaire.  My new name Chris Diablo Edwards.

As I told the editor from Winnipeg; Although I punted a 5.63 second hang time punt at the Stampeders 2009 tryout and a 5.9 sec. 52 yarder, wind aided, timed by two witnesses two days prior (hang times only produced by a small number of current NFL punters such as Shane Lechler, Andy Lee, Mike Scifres, Matt Turk, Brad Maynard, Jon Ryan... and yet its likely none of them have hit a 6.0 this year, ... with passing skills that are still above and beyond all other punters), I'm getting attention, but not the serious attention I'm looking for... Since the Blue Bombers refused to allow me to tryout in Deland this year...It looks like I'll have to come back next year for both the NFL and CFL open camps, with a record breaking, mind blowing, semi-consistent 6.0-6.2 sec. hang time punts and we'll see what happens... (with those types of hang times, at 45-50+ yds net, there's just no-chance of a return, ... the returner is going to get mauled by 5-7 of our guys)

4/6/09 WFTV Channel 9 Orlando - Sports at 9 - Chris Edwards: "Working On A Dream -38-year-old punter/quarterback looks for his place in pro football."

Although Sports Anchor Joe Kepner only filmed 2 punts on camera, where he was able to track the football hang time from foot-to-ground, (the punt on the preview news coverage, on the website), was a 5.0 second hang time punt. A punt on the full story was a 4.2. Just a few punts later (the punt aired twice near the end of the full story), I launched a monster 5.6+ at 50+ yards net with a 1.00 sec. hand-to-foot (which is probably a faster avg. getoff than all of the above punters, given my unique 1 1/2 step punting style). After that punt I turned and said... "take that one to the bank".

FWIW I called into 93x this morning when Kluwe was on to let him know about this article.  More than likely he's already read it.

I wish I could say I was a fan of him, but well, it's hard to get excited about a punter.  That's like cheering the guy at the Target who cleans up the spill when your kid breaks a jar of apple sauce.  He's just there to clean up everyone else's mess.  He might do a spectacular job cleaning the mess, but still... it was a mess...

From what I've heard of his exploits as a gamer, well, some of that is impressive.  But I do know from listening to him on the radio he's a bit of a harlot (like attending every optional practice just for the $$$), so chances are he would do it.  I'd throw a $1 down that he ordered a custom jersey from nfl.com with Warcraft #5 just to have...

Anyway, grats to the iggles for their win. Here's to hoping we get a QB in the offseason so Kluwe doesn't have to work as much.

To me this subject is interesting, but isn't it more fun making news because you are a bad boy playing professional sports? I mean making headlines because you are a gamer. Hmm. Wait a sec, video games addictive, violent...Ah I see. This guys is actually a bad boy in his own right.

Hey congratulations to the Eagles, but all I really wanted was Dallas falling flat on their face!  Viva la ringless T.O.!!!

-off topic- I do think the Eagles are going to win the super Bowl and we're going to have a hilarious yet funny riot, then a celebration a few days after the game(similar to Pliladelphia phillies Win)

It might not hurt to remember that most people thought Chad Johnson's name change was a rather silly publicity stunt, especially in light of how mediocre the Bengals were this year.  Kluwe'd need his team to make a decent playoff run, and perhaps distinguish himself as a great punter and not just a good one, if he'd want his name change to be any less silly.

And since we're on the topic, the entire NFC North performed below what it's really capable of this year, so I'm more than a little worried about the Viking's chances.  They might get lucky against Philly but I don't see them making the conference final at the level they've been playing at for most of the season.  If they improve just a little, though, they might be a real threat.  So, yeah, go Vikings.

I guess punters have to do SOMETHING to get noticed....
