ST. LOUIS (AP) -- St. Louis Rams punter Bryan Barker (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/players/1107) apologized Monday for disrupting a halftime tribute to the armed forces by kicking the ball over bands and color guards.
The Rams recognized more than 200 soldiers from various branches of the service as part of their annual "Veteran's Day Salute" at Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/cardinals). Toward the end of halftime, when players typically return to the field to warm up, Barker began his preparation routine.

"I apologize to anyone who was offended by my actions," Barker said in a statement. "It was not my intention to be disrespectful to our military personnel."We have a short time to prepare for the second half and I was only following my regular routine in getting warmed up."

41 Years old, 16 years in the league. Damn. Decent Longevity, even for a punter. He's like the Morten Andersen of punters.

He's a bad ass didn't he and Nick "the Kick" Lowry get into a slap fight on the sidelines when he was with KC?
