The unluckiest man in America

Missing what would have been the game-winning field goal: that's every kicker's worst nightmare. Now imagine missing two chances at scoring the winning field goal, and you'll have some idea how Doug Brien feels.

The Jets got the ball first in overtime but couldn't score, so the loss can't be completely blamed on Brien. But unless he kicks the Super Bowl-winner next year, this will haunt him for the rest of his life. (As if all of this wasn't bad enough, the poor guy plays in New York. God only knows what the back page of tomorrow's Post will say.)
