Forget gay marriage, some don't even want gays alive.

LAS VEGAS - A former Oakland Raiders kicker was in police custody Tuesday night in the September drive-by shooting at the home of entertainers Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn, police said.

Cole Ford, 31, whose three-year NFL career ended in 1997 after he missed crucial kicks, was identified earlier by police as the owner of a white minivan from which shots were fired at the entertainers' compound.

No one was hurt, but police said shotgun pellets shattered windows and left a hole in a wall. Police have not said if the two were at home at the time.

Ford was captured without incident Tuesday afternoon at a copy store near the Las Vegas Strip after a woman tipped police that he was inside, police said.

4. actually no...

Remember back in the 90s the Buffalo Bills lost 3 superbowls year after year.

Well the first one they lost they lost because the guy kicking the 3 pointer botched it.

I think thats where the character comes from, however I dont know the actual player's name.

2. That other Raider kicker got into heeps of trouble but he didn't...

go so far as to shoot-up anyone's home. At least not that I'm aware of.

Janikowski got busted with heeps of ecstacy and allegedly assaulted people but no drive-bys.

3. Is it still illegal to shoot at gays?

That's so early-2004. Maybe we can get amendments on state ballots next time around so good American washed-up kickers can go shoot anyone they hate.

7. Hey, I thought USC football players preferred knives!

As a Trojan alum I remember Cole Ford. He was our starting placekicker for four years. Now he's moved to Las Vegas, same as me. I'll have to look him up.
