But there are a whole lot of people I'd like to play poker with, I guess, because the guy from the TV station that put it together tells Deadspin that many viewers believe it:
"We've had a ton of e-mail on this, and about 30 percent of people think it's real, which is frightening," Brett Haber, the sports director at WUSA-TV in Washington D.C., said. "Yes it's real, and so is the Easter Bunny. Our marketing department put it together in the spirit of the Kobe video to promote our Redskins preseason football package. I think the phrase they're using upstairs for the video is "summer fun." I didn't have anything to do with it, but I don't think it was ever meant to be taken seriously."So, to be clear: No, Shaun Suisham cannot make a 110-yard field goal. No one can.
