It was not Dan Marino's fault: Former NFL Kicker Cole Ford fired a shotgun at the Las Vegas home of Siegfried and Roy because they were a threat to the world, according to a psychiatric evaluation. "He saw their illusions as their power to distort and change reality ... he began to figure out how he could stop them."
Why did you bring Marino into this? And is that some beyond ZZ Top nasty beard on Cole or what?

That's a reference to the great Ray Finkle, the last kicker who veered as far from the posts as Cole Ford.

You mean he didn't scream "laces out" as he fired away? Ruins what I had imagined.

God, it's about time someone fired a shotgun at the home of these tiger rapers. I'm just shocked that it involved a Raiders kicker not named Sebastian.
