The Cincinnati Bengals have released struggling kicker Mike Nugent, days after he missed his sixth extra point of the season.Nugent, an Ohio native and All-American at Ohio State, has been with the Bengals since the 2010 season. He set Bengals records in 2011 with 132 points and 33 field goals made, and also shares the franchise record for longest regular-season field goal (55 yards).Mike is a tremendous teammate and has been an integral part of the Bengals for seven seasons, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said in a news release. This was a difficult decision, but one we felt was in the best interest of the football team moving forward. We have enjoyed getting to know Mike over the years and wish him the best.The team picked up Randy Bullock off waivers from the Pittsburgh Steelers in his place.It has been a difficult season for Nugent, who was 23-of-29 on field goals in addition to the missed extra points. Nugent missed an extra point attempt in four straight games, in addition to a missed PAT against the Redskins, a game that ended in a tie.Nugent drew the ire of fans this season for his repeated misses, and he was booed at Paul Brown Stadium while lining up for kicks last week.You have to earn the cheers and earn the respect, and Im not doing that right now, Nugent told ESPN after the game Sunday. To be honest with you, Im earning the reactions with the way Im kicking. I think the last couple of weeks Ill have really good days and really good weeks except for one kick.The Bengals have stuck by Nugent all season and Lewis did not seem inclined to release him in lieu of one of the available kickers on the market before Tuesday. However, Bullock became available this week. He appeared in one game with the Steelers.Lewis said Nugents struggles were a little more technical than mental, but for a kicker thats all the same, its like a golf swing.Its really contagious this year (kickers misses) and I dont know why its been what its been but its just part of it. But theyve got to make the kick because if youre in a tight football game its an emotional thing you dont want to go through ... when you score a point and you go for two and you dont get it, its almost like a win for the defense. It takes away from what you just did.Bullock is 3-for-4 on extra points this season in two games with the Giants and Steelers. He is 95.8 percent on PATs in his four-year career, and has made 81.3 percent of his field goals. Bullock has had stints with the Texans, Jets, Giants and Steelers since 2012.The Bengals play the Steelers this week.Andre Iguodala Warriors Jersey .

It has been rented out by lottery in the winter, accessible by a chairlift at Stowe Mountain Resort.Construction on the new stone hut started in mid-summer. The family of Jake Burton Carpenter, founder of Burton Snowboards, donated $150,000 toward its restoration, and other people fond of it chipped in a total of $12,000 plus services and materials.It was a just a terrific testament to how important this place is, said Michael Snyder, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation.Police say the snowboard company founder, also known as Jake Burton, asked his two adult sons to get the cabin prepared for a friend on Dec. 23 by stoking a fire in the wood stove. The sons placed wood against the stove to dry and left the stove door open with a log against it before leaving.The guest didnt show up, and the hut, which had a wooden roof, wooden interior walls and wooden platforms for beds, caught fire. A lift mechanic reported the fire early the nexxt morning.dddddddddddd No one was hurt in the fire.The state was able to salvage the stones. A local contractor and area craftspeople have worked on the new hut.The building wasnt damaged too much by the fire, said Matt Parisi, of local company Parisi Masonry, who worked on the hut on Wednesday.Just openings like where the windows are and where the vents were, places where the fire came out, Parisi said. That was the part that got compromised. But a majority of the building is very, very good, actually.The project is expected to cost $276,000 and likely will be covered by insurance money and donations, Snyder said.Barring unforeseen construction problems, the hut will be open for overnight guests on Dec. 1, he said.The hut, which offers four single beds and four full-size beds on wooden bunks, rents for $225 a night.The state is taking reservation requests in the lottery through Nov. 14. The first phase of the lottery will be for people who had made reservations last season but didnt get to stay because of the fire. A second round will be for other entrants. If openings exist after that, reservations will be taken by phone.The process will no longer give preference to people who want to reserve the hut for a number of days. ' ' '
