Chicks Dig the Long Snap
05.05.09This is Mark Rodenhauser, LONG-SNAPPER EXTRAORDINAIRE, who played 12 seasons in the NFL for the Bears, Vikings, Chargers, Lions, Panthers, Steelers (
Pittsburgh-related post hat trick!) and Seahawks. In this video, he shows off the kind of success required at very narrow tasks to be a long-snapper in the NFL. He says he hits half-court shots with 30 percent accuracy, then pulls off a full-courter just to make you feel bad. It’s kind of nice to see a huge football player who’s also such a massive, yet endearing dork about what he does. In other news, his explosive diarrhea can bridge continental divides.

That’s a nice skill – if your punter is Shaquille O’Neil and he lines up 30 yards behind you.
Actually, I think all longsnappers are dorky. A fact which I really enjoy. Ever seen Patrick Manelly’s website? Yeah…I love longsnappers. In no other industry could a man who bends over for a living win such respect.
Where’s the Gratuitous Simpsons Reference?
Somebody should get hit in the groin with a football.
….and by ‘girlfriend’ I meant ‘regualrly patronized hooker’.
/as ‘patronized’ was typed immediately thought ‘Patron Anejo’ + Cinco de Mayo = where are some fucking limes!

///WHEEEEE!
His girlfriend calls him ‘The Quick Snapper’.
Girlfriend? What girlfriend? Rodenhauser has to have set the record for least amount of pussy ever scored by an NFL player. That guy gets less pussy than Jeff Garcia.
@Slothrop
STUPID… YOU SO STUPID!
Man, if only he were a Pittsburgh-area OB/GYN he could call himself Dr. Snapper.
Not just a hat-trick, A NATURAL Pittsburgh-Related Post Hat Trick.

This gives us all hope we may one day play professional football
His girlfriend calls him ‘The Quick Snapper’.
Close your eyes, he sounds like Bill Murray.
I demand a new Steelers post!
+1 drink from the firehose, Punch.
Oh are you speaking of the hat trick by Sidney Crosby? You mean the one that *didn’t* win the game, unlike Ovechkin’s? Just checking.
And how dare you make me talk about hockey.
Having last been a Seahawk this’d really have to be an Ufford post to be a proper homerism post. Then again, it has to do with football and not network television or kids falling off skateboards.
Snapper.
That’s just fun to say.
Ahhh, Snapper. Very tasty fish.
My explosive diarrhea is less of a constructive type of devastation, and more of the city leveling variety.
My implosive diarrhea on the other hand cured most of my various birth defects.
Wow, that guy is whiter than P. Diddy.
Are you talking “hockey” again? I swear I wish I knew what that was.
you got sucked in by all the hattricks happening in the dc area?
