Folks just know that on this day, a man that was born with not all of this fingers on his right hand, or toes on his right foot, legendary kicker Tom Dempsey passed away from Covid-19. He also suffered from dementia sadly. He had to wear a special shoe that was made for him and is on display in the NFL Hall Of Fame in Canton, OH. He kicked the longest field goal of all time of 63 yards in 1970. That record stood for 43 years. When he broke the record the previous longest kick of 56 yards had stood for 17 years. He held the record until that bitch Matt Prater edged him by 1 yard with a 64 yarder in 2013. R.I.P. Tom.
