The Irish rock band U2 has a new video centered on a field goal kicker who misses a kick in the final seconds of a big game. Video director Joseph Kahn said it is based partly on Scott Norwood, the Buffalo Bills kicker who missed a potential game-winning field goal in the closing seconds of Super Bowl XXV. The ultimate indignity for Norwood, wouldn’t you say, being thrust onto video shelves between the bare midriffs and the trashy rap?
Strange that U2 would choose such a subject for a music video, but give them this — the title is appropriate. It’s “Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of.”
That is the story of Scott Norwood’s life, summed up in nine words.
