Alright, let’s yak about this Janikowski fella. I heard tell he played that football game, you know, the one with the pointy ball? Yeah, that one. Folks say he was a kicker, whatever that means. Sounded important though, like he was the one who booted that ball real far.
Now, they say he made a heap of money doin’ it. Fifty-three million dollars! Can you believe that? That’s more money than anyone in my whole darn village has ever seen, I reckon. Lordy, what would a body even do with all that cash? Buy a whole lotta chickens, that’s for sure. And maybe a new tractor, the old one’s been sputterin’ somethin’ fierce lately.
This Janikowski fella, he played for a long time, eighteen years they say. That’s like, forever! He kicked that ball for the Raiders and the Seahawks, whoever they are. Sounds like fancy city names to me. He must’ve kicked that ball a whole bunch of times, hundreds and hundreds, I bet. They said somethin’ ‘bout him makin’ 436 out of 542 field goals, and 605 out of 614 extra points. Numbers, numbers… all I know is, that’s a whole lotta kickin’!
- He played for the Raiders
- He also played for the Seahawks
- He kicked lots of field goals and extra points
They also said he won some kinda award, the Lou Groza somethin’-or-other. Twice in a row! Must be a big deal, ’cause they kept talkin’ ’bout it. Said he was the only one to ever do that. Well, good for him, I say. Always nice to see a fella do somethin’ special, even if it’s just kickin’ a ball.
This fella, he started kickin’ way back when, in high school they say. Imagine that, a young whippersnapper bootin’ a ball eighty-seven yards! Said he kicked one eighty-two yards in practice too! Eighty-two yards! That’s like, from here to the old Johnson place down the road. Said them high school balls were like balloons, light as a feather, I guess. Made it easier to kick, probably.
Now, he ain’t kickin’ no more, retired they say, in 2019. Been kickin’ for nineteen years! That’s a good long career, if you ask me. Folks said he had a leg like a cannon. I ain’t never seen a cannon, but I reckon it means he could kick that ball real darn hard.
I even heard a story ‘bout him kickin’ a sixty-three-yard field goal, tied some kinda record, they say. Way out in Denver, where the air is thin, whatever that means. Guess it makes the ball go farther or somethin’. Anyways, they knew he could do it, that leg of his was somethin’ special.
So, what’s he doin’ now, you ask? Well, nobody seems to know for sure. With all that money, he could be sittin’ on a porch swing, sippin’ lemonade, or maybe travelin’ the world, seein’ all them fancy places. Heck, maybe he bought himself a whole farm, full of chickens and cows. That’s what I’d do, that’s for sure.
One thing’s certain, this Janikowski fella, he made a name for himself kickin’ that football. And he made a whole heap of money doin’ it too. Good for him, I say. He worked hard, I bet, and now he gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Just like the good Lord intended.
Folks keep talkin’ about his net worth, whatever that is. Sounds like how much money a fella has. Well, with fifty-three million dollars, I’d say his net worth is pretty darn high. He could buy a whole town with that kind of money! Maybe he did, who knows? He’s a mystery, that Janikowski fella, a retired kicker with a whole lotta cash. And that’s all there is to it, I reckon.
This Janikowski, he has parents, named Dan and Heather. He even got a brother Jack and a sister Megan. Seem like a good family, must be proud of their boy for kicking that ball so well. Family’s important, you know. More important than all the money in the world, I always say.
