Robbie Gould - An Honest to God Interview!

I am always excited to see a significant interview with a kicker. In this case, ProFootballWeekly.com's Court E. Mann has a chat with Robbie Gould, the Chicago Bears excellent placekicker and October's "Special Teams Player of the Month" - yes there is such a thing.

Definitely shoot over there to read the whole thing. My favorite exchange was this:

PFW: Kickers are a notoriously superstitious bunch. Do you have any particular oddities you subscribe to?

Gould: I have absolutely no superstitions at all. I kind of break every stereotype when it comes to kickers.

PFW: What about when people continue to remind you that you haven’t missed a kick? Do you wince at all every time you hear that?

Gould: Knock on wood. That’s all you do.

Really gotta love that. Guy's not superstitious at all. He just knocks on wood like any rational person would do.
