Having sympathy for Bears kicker Cody Parkey and the insults he received for missing a 43-yard field goal to eliminate the Chicago from the playoffs, Goose Island Brewery decided to erect a goal post and set up the ball up 43 yards away, giving fans to opportunity to try to make what Parkey couldn’t. Every fan who knocked it through the uprights would win free beer for a year.
They’re quickly finding out it’s easier said than done.
Here are the worst attempts off the feet of participants.
