OT: Cowboys release Vanderjagt

[BACH]

A man who was recently dubbed the most accurate kicker in NFL history is now unemployed.

Sources have told FOXSports.com that the Dallas Cowboys have cut kicker Mike Vanderjagt and will sign Martin Gramatica.
Vanderjagt has been very inconsistent this year, and an inconsistent kicker and Bill Parcells are like oil and water.

With the Colts, Vanderjagt was nearly automatic but suffered interpersonal problems after he ripped Peyton Manning on TV only to have Manning fire back and call him "liquored-up idiot kicker."

Damn! Parcells doesn't waste his time with his kicker. He just signed Vanderjagt to a huge contract this off-season.

He didn't sign him. Jerry Jones the owner did.

I'm sure it will be on the Rome Show today:

It goes something like this, "Here I am, at my 3rd Pro Bowl, about to throw a TD pass to Jerry Rice, and we are talking about my idiot kicker. My idiot kicker who got liquored up and ran his mouth. I'll deal with it in the offseason, if he is still on the team. Sad thing, is he is a good kicker, he's just an idiot."
