Who's old enough to remember them? Can someone explain to me why it was ever a good idea?
Seems a random question I know but I flipped on the Redskins-Broncos Super Bowl highlights I DVRed yesterday and Rich Karlis kicked off for the Broncos barefooted.
The messes me up about it is that they wouldn't have both feet bare. Just the kicking foot. I've tried to walk with one shoe on and one off and it's not smooth.
My guess is that bare there wasn't material to get in the way of compressing the ball & thus reducing distance.Who's old enough to remember them? Can someone explain to me why it was ever a good idea?

I know one who kicked for UT in the early 70's when the soccer style kicker was just beginning, which he was. He always said it gave him a better feel on the ball. He was a good kicker in college, it didn't work out for him in the league, but I think he was AA at UT.
With kickers being a little odd, I think it's because he started kicking barefoot and didn't have the confidence with a shoe.

Ricky Townsend (sp?) is who you're thinking of. Good kicker.
