FILE - In this Jan. 23, 2012, file photo, Baltimore Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff speaks with reporters while cleaning out his locker at the team's training facility in Owings Mills, Md., a day after missing a 32-yard field goal and losing 23-20 to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship football game. Even though they own every one of the top 25 spots on the NFL career scoring list, kickers get almost no respect. "You don't have to worry about me jumping off a ledge or driving my car off a cliff," said Baltimore's Cundiff, the latest to miss a high-profile kick. "I'm not sure I need to sit down on a couch and talk it out." Photo: Patrick Semansky / AP
