GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'

I'll be honest, I was expecting the Saints to keep both Taylor Mehlhaff and Martin Gramatica at kicker when the final cuts were announced. Shows how little I know about the Saints, who have never been shy about cutting a draft pick.My logic was based on the fact that Mehlhaff was a fifth-round choice who was known for his strong leg, particularly on kickoffs. Gramatica came on and proved surprisingly reliable last year, but has a weak leg on kickoffs. It seemed as if even comparable play in the preseason would be enough to earn Mehlhaff the roster spot, with Gramatica tagging along as a safety valve.
But Mehlhaff was cut. The truth is, despite all the hype as the first kicker drafted, Gramatica outperformed the rookie. Even on kickoffs, Mehlhaff was inconsistent. And he missed a field goal in the preseason finale -- the only field goal either kicker missed all preseason long. Not a good impression to make.
From '04 to '06, Gramatica was left for the NFL's dead. But he was incredible last season replacing Olindo Mare, and brought an energy to the fans. I'd say "don't call it a comeback," but, well, that's exactly what it is. Knock 'em out, Martin.
