The armless archer

2019-11-03T16:11:00.001+01:00

One of the top-ranked archers in the country is 36-year-old Matt Stutzman of Fairfield, Iowa. "The last time we looked into it, 1% of archers in the world make a living shooting a bow," he said.

He's not bragging – he is really just that good, and has the accolades to prove it. "January of 2010 is when I decided to be the best archer in the world. And by 2011, I had already made the U.S. Team, and by 2012, I went to my first Games, and won a Silver!"

And he did it all with his feet.

Yes – one of the most celebrated archers in the world was born without arms.

"When it first started, it was, 'Look at this guy without arms!' And now it's like, 'Uggh, Matt's here,'" he laughed.

His competitors have learned to fear him – not only those at the Paralympic Games in London, where he won his silver medal, but also able-bodied archers that he's bested time and time again.

Stutzman basically had to figure it out. So, just how does he do it?

His only adaptation is a strap around his chest, which he uses to pull back the bow string, as he demonstrated for correspondent Lee Cowan.

"And at this point I'm adjusting my strap to make sure it's in the same place," he said. "That way when I draw back, I push my leg away from my chest. I bring my right shoulder up and I set it. Bring my face down to my release … and then I shoot.

"If I can take a bow that's not modified for me and I can compete against people that have arms, and beat them at their own sport, well, then, what's everybody else's excuse?"

Stutzman is pretty easy to spot at a tournament; he's usually the only one sitting down.

He knows he's the center of attention, and believe it or not, he actually likes it that way; it's a competitive advantage. "For me, I'm used to being looked at all the time," he said. "Where most archers who are able-bodied have never had that experience, so when it's time to make it count, then they get nervous, where I don't get the nervousness like they do. 'Cause I've been in the situation my whole life."

In case you can't tell already, this single father of three doesn't consider himself disabled at all.

Cowan asked, "Are there times though that you just wish you had arms?"

"No," Stutzman replied.

"Really?"

"Not once. Nope."

You might find that surprising, but he's serious. At lunch, eating with his feet is as ordinary as anything, to him. Back at his house, Cowan watched Stutzman unscrew a lug nut to change a tire. It was hard not to offer help, but the fact was he really didn't need it.

He's a car nut, always had been. He can out-drive just about anyone, yes, with his feet, in a car that is not specially modified. "It's like anybody could drive this car," he said. Well, not exactly, at least not the way he drives, doing donuts in a parking lot and all.

"I even have a motorcycle permit. Absolutely, I can legally ride a non-modified motorcycle with my friends," he said.

It all started right after Stutzman was born, when his birth parents learned something had gone wrong. "Based on what the doctors told them, that was too much for them," he said. "They were just overwhelmed."

So, they put him up for adoption when he was just two months old. And not long after that, Jean and Leon Stutzman entered his life.

Cowan asked, "So, do you remember the first time you saw him?"

"Oh, yes," said Jean. "Here was this little curly-haired blonde head guy and he just kinda sat up like, Well, here I am!"

"He was a cute little stinker, and fell in love immediately, I guess," Leon said.

They raised him along with their seven other children, just like any other kid.

Cowan asked, "Were there times when you'd see him doing something like riding a motorcycle or something and you'd just look out the window and say, 'Oh my God, How?'"

"That's when we went into double prayer time!" laughed Leon.

They gave Matt prosthetic limbs at one point, but they sat on the shelf most of the time. So, they decided not to really modify anything in their home. Leon said, "We decided not to do anything just because he's not going to live in a handicapped world. He's going to live in a world where people expect he has to adapt to those kinds of things. So, so that was the philosophy that we took: figure it out."

"I don't think it was an orchestrated thing, it was just kind of, he'll find his way. He'll figure it out," Jean said.

And he did. But as he got older, despite his abilities and willingness to try anything, there weren't many willing to give him a try.

"I couldn't find a job," he said.

"No one would give you a chance?" Cowan asked.

"No. Like, I even went to try to do a typing job, because I was that desperate to try to figure out something."

"So, what was your mindset at that point?

"I was pretty depressed. You're supposed to be a man, taking care of your kids, and no one would give me a chance to prove myself."

It was 2009, at the height of the financial crisis, but it also happened to be deer season in Iowa. He thought if he could teach himself how to shoot a bow, maybe he could at least bag a deer and feed his family.

He said, "I went out and got the cheapest bow I could find, and I actually went out that year and shot a deer. I am now excited about life again, because I had just set a goal, went out, and accomplished putting food on the table."

To earn a little extra cash, he started entering target shooting competitions, where one bow maker asked to sponsor him.

Pretty exciting, until a friend of Matt's told him why: "And he goes, 'Matt, the reason why they sponsor you is because you have no arms, and you draw attention to their products, and it's not because you're good.' The reality was, I wasn't that good. And I didn't want to be known as, like, the sideshow, or the guy who gets stuff because he had no arms. I wanted to be known as the best archer in the world.

"And that's where it clicked for me. I'm like, 'Hey, I'm going to prove everybody wrong. I'm going to show them that I am the best, and that I deserve sponsorship because I'm the best, not because I'm unique, or different.'"

Stutzman is aiming for a spot at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo next summer, and while he says a gold would be nice, that's not all he's after anymore.

"I started archery just to provide for my family, right? But now I've seen it's much bigger. When someone comes up to me saying they saw me do this, or that now they can do that, then it makes me feel good about myself.

"The feeling is, it's almost better than winning. What is defining of the best archer in the world? The best archer in the world is somebody who changes the sport, makes it better, or changes people that watch what you do and make them better. In my mind, that's considered the best archer in the world."

Chris Kamara claims VAR official deliberately made wrong decision for Liverpool goal

2019-11-03T16:08:00.002+01:00

Liverpool beat Aston Villa 2-1 but VAR was once again at the centre of controversy.

Aston Villa v Liverpool: VAR was ‘completely wrong’ says pundit

Liverpool controversially had a goal disallowed for offside against Aston Villa on Saturday - and Chris Kamara claims a wrong decision was made deliberately by the VAR officials.

Roberto Firmino was adjudged to be offside by the assistant referee at Villa Park after he tapped home a Sadio Mane cross.

Martin Atkinson was at Stockley Park as the Video Assistant Referee and after looking closely at the incident, decided to stick with the decision made at the match.

However, Kamara has made his feelings clear on Goals on Sunday and says it is clear a wrong decision was made - something he thinks was done on purpose.

“I’m not happy with it, I’ll be 100 per cent honest with you,” Kamara said.

“In my opinion this is made up, this has been made up by somebody at Stockley Park who’s decided they don’t want this to be a goal, and that is my opinion, and that is my honest opinion.

“From the naked eye you don’t need that calibration of dots or whatever to tell you, look at Tyrone Mings’ knee, Firmino is onside, right.

“So you look at the yellow line and there’s a black line there as well. So they’ve done that there - that tells you that he was onside.

“So they change it round now to make it that Firmino is the black line and Tyrone Mings is the yellow line, as you can see now."

Kamara says the dotted line used by VAR was not straight, which he attempted to prove with a piece of paper.

“But the line that comes up towards Firmino isn’t straight - that’s not a straight line, that’s an angled line," he continued.

“I put a piece of paper to it this morning haven’t I and I showed you - that is not a straight line.

“Get your rulers out, get your spirit level out. That red line is not a straight line.

“Now, somebody has decided to do that and I think they should be outed because that is not offside for me.

“That’s why it’s not a straight line, look at that paper, look how angled it is, that’s not a straight line.”

Explaining the decision, the official Premier League Twitter page tweeted: “Liverpool's Roberto Firmino was flagged offside before putting the ball in the net against Aston Villa and the decision was confirmed by VAR.

“The red line signifies Firmino and was aligned to his armpit, which was marginally ahead of the last Villa defender.”

Liverpool went on to win the game 2-1, scoring two late goals to maintain their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Brendan Rodgers has got Leicester fans dreaming of more glory after Liverpool recovery

2019-11-03T16:05:00.000+01:00

When they captured the Premier League title under the genial guidance of veteran coach Claudio Ranieri the whole world agreed Leicester City's success was a fairytale of sport.

It was a one-off, a miracle never to be repeated. Who could doubt that? Well, it's turning into a different story.

Now, inspired by the innovative style of manager Brendan Rodgers, the unsung football club from the East Midlands are more like a work of dazzling modern literature.

They are a serious proposition. They wow the heavyweight critics. They enjoy universal respect and admiration.

They are a team that lay third in the table going into this weekend's set of fixtures, having also earned a place in the League Cup quarter-finals.

They won their last League match with an all-time record 9-0 score for a triumphant away side.

They play high-intensity football - pressing the opposition, moving at breakneck speed into attack, while also enjoying the equal best defensive record in the top flight.

There is no miracle about the new Leicester City.They are a proper team, and they are proving the most fundamental truth of all in football - the incalculable value of a brilliant manager.

When Rodgers arrived at the club a mere eight months ago they were in the depths of despair. The players were distracted, the fans were jeering previous boss Claude Puel and the atmosphere was toxic.

The transformation of the team and the club has been forged by the new manager's strength of purpose and his grand vision.

Rodgers has imposed his style of football on Leicester. He has moulded the players to fit the system, as the very best coaches do. That even includes Jamie Vardy, a striker who would supposedly be forever a fish out of water.

To see the smile on the face of Vardy now, to see his enthusiasm, adaptability and cascade of goals is a treat. Leicester have all the elements required of genuine contenders, starting with a consistent goalscorer.

They have players with experience of winning a Premier League title in Vardy, keeper Kasper Schmeichel and defender Jonny Evans.There are talented young home-grown players, very much in tune with the mood music of this season, in James Maddison and Harvey Barnes.

Raiding full-backs in Ricardo Pereira and Ben Chilwell are essential in the modern game. So, too, is a robust and intelligent holding midfielder. Leicester possess a gem in Wilfried Ndidi.

Man United: Rodgers isn’t ‘worst shout’ for manager says pundit

They also have the epitome of a modern centre-back, a player who is joyfully robust in the tackle yet blessed with ability on the ball.

Perhaps it seemed to many that Leicester were losing this crucial piece of the jigsaw with the sale of Harry Maguire to Manchester United while gathering a world-record fee for a defender.

Rodgers knew different. He sensed the club already had an ideal replacement in Caglar Soyuncu, a player swiftly lifted into a cult hero figure with the fans.

It is further evidence of the sure touch of Rodgers, who has a win rate of 56.5 per cent in his time so far at Leicester.This is a hugely impressive number, as compelling as the 9-0 crushing of Southampton.

After the destruction of the Saints,TV pundit Gary Neville said it was time to consider Rodgers as a candidate for "one of the big jobs" of football. He mentioned Arsenal and Tottenham as possibilities sooner rather than later.

It was a suggestion delivered as high praise, but surely it missed the point. Isn't a new truth beginning to emerge - that being manager of recent champions Leicester City is one of the big jobs of contemporary football?

Eagles-Bears: Start time, how to watch and stream

2019-11-03T16:00:00.000+01:00

The Eagles will play their first game at the Linc in nearly a month when they take on a desperate Chicago Bears team Sunday afternoon on Fox.

In the booth is longtime play-by-play announcer Dick Stockton, who is in his 26th season calling NFL games on Fox. Alongside Stockton will be former offensive lineman and “hater Eagles fan” Mark Schlereth (whom Fox poached from ESPN back in 2017) and sideline reporter Jennifer Hale.

It might surprise Eagles fans to know that, despite having grown up in New York City, Stockton is actually a Philadelphia native, born at Temple University Hospital. After attending Syracuse University, his first on-air job was working as an all-night newscaster when KYW 1060 moved to a 24-hour news format back in 1965.

“I’ve called a ton of Eagles games and a million Sixers games, and I’ve always had great feelings about the city. Always," Stockton told the Inquirer.

Like most sports announcers, Stockton is used to hearing from fans whenever he makes a mistake in a broadcast. But sometimes, the criticism gets nasty and intense. Earlier this week, 94.1 WIP host Angelo Cataldi ripped Stockton on air, calling his style “sing-songy” and laughably declaring him the worst play-by-play announcer in the history of sports television.

“He’s 76-years-old,” the 68-year-old sports talker complained. “He’s awful, awful, awful! I can’t listen to one play he calls!”

Stockton, whose contract with Fox goes beyond this season, said his “mind is still sharp” and he’s prepared to hang up his headset whenever he feels he can no longer call games at a high level. But for now, he’s happy to have the full backing of his Fox Sports bosses and lets most criticism wash over him, especially when the vitriol becomes intensely personal.

“When someone is just mean like that, I think it’s more a reflection of who they are than what I did," Stockton said of Cataldi’s criticism. “I remember critics over a decade ago saying I should quit or be retired. It goes with the territory."

“Do mistakes happen in a three-hour game broadcast? Yes, they do. But I don’t think people should be judged by a mistake here and there," Stockton added. “I think it’s the body of work you do in a game. If I were to make 30 mistakes in a game, well that’s a big problem.”

Sadio the saviour! Mane proves he is Liverpool's man for all seasons

2019-10-05T20:24:00.000+02:00

Liverpool looked all set to drop their first league points of the campaign, but the Senegalese star won a crucial last-gasp penalty to save the day

There are moments which can define a season, but you don’t expect them to arrive in October.

As James Milner stood with his hands on his hips, Anfield held its collective breath. The ball was on the penalty spot, Kasper Schmeichel was stood tall, Liverpool hearts were in mouths.

They crave 19 more than anything else round here, but for now the Reds can be content with 17.

Their winning run continues. Leicester came to Anfield with form and confidence, Brendan Rodgers was greeted warmly. His team gave the league leaders an almighty scare, but eventually fell.

Thanks for the game, lads, but don’t think you’re getting the points.

The Reds’ victory, their 17th Premier League win in a row, was a narrow one but a precious one. Milner’s penalty hit the net in the fifth minute of stoppage time, after James Maddison’s 79th-minute equaliser looked to have ended the Reds’ perfect start to the league campaign.

Close, but no cigar. Liverpool have cleared the season’s first block of games in style, they head into the second international break of the campaign with a record of eight straight league wins and, for now at least, an eight-point gap over Manchester City in second place.

If Carlsberg did starts…

"If winning eight games in a row was easy, a lot of teams would have done it," Jurgen Klopp said afterwards. Good point. His side's consistency remains staggering, even if their performance is not always fantastic.

This was a tight one. Leicester came to play and have more quality than most sides who will come here this season. Rodgers is building a fine football team, one which should have its eye on a top-four finish.

Liverpool used to be satisfied with that kind of ambition, of course, but not any more. Klopp’s team have their sights set on the big prize, the one which has eluded England’s most decorated club for close to three decades.

With that in mind, this felt like a massive afternoon.

Where does this team find its reserves? Where does it pull these victories from? There was a moment, just a moment after Maddison’s equaliser, where Liverpool looked like they might just have run out of ideas. They wasted a free-kick, Trent Alexander-Arnold sent another cross into Schmeichel’s arms and the groans were audible.

Roberto Firmino was off at that point, and so was Mo Salah, taken out by a crude challenge from Hamza Choudhury, the Leicester sub. Klopp was furious with that. "How can he do it?" he asked his post-match press conference. "He needs to calm down."

Sadio Mane was still there, though. And when Liverpool needed something, their man for all seasons delivered.

Leicester will rue the hesitancy which led to the penalty, Schmeichel and his defenders getting in a tangle when one or the other should have cleared. In a flash, Mane was there. Marc Albrighton caught him. Penalty. Milner, after the cursory VAR check, did the rest.

Mane had some afternoon. He’d given Liverpool the lead five minutes before the break, latching onto a sublime Milner pass to slot home his 50th Premier League goal for the Reds. They have arrived in just 100 appearances. He is playing as well now as he ever has.

Moved to the right wing for this game, perhaps with an eye on Leicester’s marauding left-back Ben Chilwell, Mane was in the thick of the action throughout.

He made more tackles than any Liverpool player – one in particular, on Chilwell, stood out in the first half – and contested more duels. He had as many shots on target as anyone, and ran further than any Red bar Milner and Fabinho.

And there, in the 95th minute, he found the energy to be in the right place at the right time. Priceless, that’s what the Senegal star is.

"The work rate of the team is just exceptional," Klopp said. His celebrations at the end told their own story. He knew how big a win this was, not just for today but for the weeks ahead. Big tests lie in wait for Liverpool after the international pause - Manchester United are first up on October 20 - but they’re ready for them.

They’ll need the two-week break to recover from this, you suspect!
