We all know how much pain that and the missed kick hurt us but I found this article about how Evans has been able to bounce back in life afterwards and how he has been using it as a teaching lesson in raising his kids pretty cool read.
I can't explain my love for this movie. The brutality of it, such high stakes, strong family ties, the redemption arc of the father, ACTUAL heckin Native Americans portraying Native Americans, and accurately spoken APACHE?? As an indigenous member of the Navajo Nation there's so much this movie gets right.
This movie came out in 2003 and wow... they just don't make good movies like this anymore do they? I suppose what I love most about it is the respect to the native peoples they portray in the movie. They in no way shame or even attempt to make fun of native tradition. One of the big aspects of the film that I won't name, because spoilers, that could've been satirized isn't. I LOVE this movie for that respect.
When my grandma was still alive she'd ALWAYS want to watch it. She LOVED the movie and she could actually understand some of the Apache that was spoken that didn't have subtitles (the Navajo and Apache languages are pretty similar). I suppose the only issue I have with the film is how the characters speak the Apache language, it feels so.. choppy? but it's only a tiny nitpick as I've grown up hearing Navajo and Apache most of my life. That and it's a hard language to speak. Other than that what they say in Apache is pretty accurately phrased in the subtitles.
I can't give this movie enough props but if you have not seen it... SEE IT!
Statline for Lee Evans:
6 Receptions
205 Yards
2 TDs(both 83 yards)
His QB was J.P. Losman, an lackluster QB, and the team at the time was 3-6, having lost 4 of their previous 5 games.
Evans' yard total in 1 quarter is 2nd most by a WR in NFL history, only behind Qadry Ismail's 210 yards in 1999 vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Buffalo amounted to 403 yards on the day, 205 of which came from Evans himself in just 1 quarter.
I've just finished Lee Evan's audio book (it's really good) he comes across as a really genuine down to earth bloke both in his stand up and in his book.
I do like Peter Kay's comedy but I do remember reading a thread on here that said he came across as a bit of a prick in real life.
Tell me your stories please!

I hope they do this because we never get any look in on a comedians life as they always deflect with comedy.
