BLOOMINGTON, Minn. _ Bengals all-time leading scorer Jim Breech, who quite conveniently called out Memphis kicker Jake Elliott’s name to the fans gathered at Paul Brown Stadium when the Bengals announced their fifth-round pick back in April, called his number again this week.
He figured that Elliott, the Eagles rookie kicker in Sunday’s Super Bowl (6:30 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 5), had about as much time on his hands as he did in Miami nearly 30 years ago during the week leading up to the Bengals’ appearance in Super Bowl XXIII.
Which is to say plenty. Enough that Breech spent one media session kicking back and shooting the breeze with Hall-of-Fame kicker Jan Stenerud, in town with Scandinavian TV.
