Gould prepares for cold kicks

Chicago Bears place-kicker Robbie Gould watched Monday night's Miami-Pittsburgh NFL game at the Steelers' Heinz Field, and he was glad he wasn't there.

Rain that night and numerous recent high school and college games left the field torn up, slippery and soaked. Field-goal attempts, prior to Jeff Reed's 24-yarder that gave the Steelers a 3-0 win with 17 seconds left, were more comical than accurate. Footing made it nearly impossible to kick anything over 30 yards.
