Last week Bears kicker Cody Parkey drew the ire of Bears fans after he missed a 43-yard game-winning field goal against the Eagles in the wildcard playoffs.
Chicago Brewery Goose Island Beer company was tired of all the trash talking Bears fans shitting on Cody Parkey and issued a challenge to all the arm chair field goal kickers in town.
A lot of armchair kickers on here are saying that they could hit that field goal, which we find DOUBTFUL. You’re gonna sit there on your throne of potato chips and vape pens and criticize this dude’s athleticism? GET REAL. 2/5

Goose Island was able to sign up 100 kickers from around the city.
We’ve secured our 100 kickers for today’s event. There will be no further sign ups at this time. Good luck to our kickers and get ready to tune in to our livestream. More details coming soon.

And they all failed miserably.
He waited 5 hours to attempt a 43-yard FG…this was the result
