WTF? Medlock tearing it up?

It would be impressive, but a Canadian yard is just 18 inches. So, most his kicks were from 24 American yards out. But the goal post in Canadian football is also at the 10 yard line, so these were just 14 American yard kicks.

Yeah, it's a common misperception due to a geographical quirk. They only look the same size because Canadian fields are often shown on TV without using Mercator projections.

Most of his kicks have been in the 30-40 yard range. I watched a couple of the Argo games and sadly he looked impressive. They mark off the field goal from the holder of the snap to the goal posts so they are indeed 30-40 yard field goals.
