Bad Quote by Stephen Gostkowski
“Pitching, if you have a bad start, a lot of the blame is put on you and then you have to sit around and think about it all week. And the same thing with kicking. You either make it or miss and no one is going to make excuses for you. The mentalities of the two are very comparable.”
