*"Unsurprisingly and definitely unconsciously, Cundiff rushed. When a kicker rushes, he rotates his hips too quickly, and when he rotates his hips too quickly his leg pushes the ball in the direction of the rotation. In this case, to the left."
*"I appreciate all the backing, but listen, you don’t have to worry about me jumping off a ledge or driving my car off a cliff. I’m not sure I need to sit down on a couch and talk it out." (Cundiff, on his miss)
*"Was the error on the Gillette Stadium board an honest mistake made by a confused Patriots employee? Or were there darker forces at work here—a little Belichickian Machiavellianism to confuse the opposition with a Super Bowl berth on the line?" (via Deadspin/Slate) , in a 3-part series yesterday digging into Billy Cundiff's missed FG that would have tied the Ravens with the Patriots at the end of the 4th quarter on Sunday.
AND DON'T MISS: New York Magazine's fascinating analysis of whether the Giants intentionally targeted ill-fated 49ers special-teamer Kyle Williams because of his history of concussions.
