Darren Bennett a Viking

[Godz Illa]

The great Aussie punter has signed a 2 year contract with the Minnesota Vikings, ending his 9 year association with the San Diego Chargers.

He's done well.. I'd love to have his job, all that money just to come on and punt.

Anyone know exactly how old he is? he'd have to be in mid-late 30's :?

Although he is a punter it doesn't really matter that much, he could still be playin at 50 if he can still kick it far

He was born on the 9th Jan, 1965...soooo he's ummmmmm 39!!??

 

[Paullyboy]

Just hitting his peak considering he is a punter :lol:

Apparently the Packers signed an Aussie punter the other day too!

I'm not much of an AFL fan so dont know too much about him, but from memory I think he may have played for Brisbane?

Yeh he played for Mt Gravatt (brisbane) with my mate, he is still waiting to see if he makes the cut. But the spot is wide open because of Bidwell departing after last season. Itll be either him or a kid out of college.

Good luck to him!
