He's a damn kicker.. even if he's the greatest of all time, at the end of the day he's still a kicker.

Come on Frank.

You do realize that being an NFL kicker is one of the most mentally strenuous jobs on the planet, right?

There's thousands of everyday jobs that are more mentally strenuous.. literally THOUSANDS.

That was where you were supposed to stop.

By “one of the mentally toughest”, do he mean “oldest”?

I’d love to see how you would fare, 2 seconds left. Your team is down by 1. Your kick not only wins the game, but gives your franchise the first Super Bowl win in their team’s history. If you make it, you’re a hero. If you miss, people will literally resent you FOREVER.. energy matters. If a collective group of people absolutely despise you, even if you don’t know them, that energy is still real. Sure being a kicker beats my 9 to 5, I would never say otherwise. But it comes with a LOT to deal with mentally.. and you can’t tell me I’m wrong on that.

Gee I wonder how Colts fans feel about this mentally tough warrior now that he's literally kicked their playoff hopes away.

Great all time kicker, but he's still just a kicker with a mid 40 year old leg. Frank Reich was giving him HOF QB type protection, stop it stupid.. he's a kicker.

I'm not going to make a list for you, man. Google it.

Here's a small sample.

Any doctor in any discipline including dermatologists.

Any nurse in any discipline. 

Any soldier.

Any cop.

Just a teeny tiny example of the thousands.

Yep.. I was one of those.. much more stressful than a NFL kicker.
