Free Beer For a Year If You Can Make The Cody Parkey Field Goal

Goose Island put out a challenge to all you would be kickers, they will give you free beer for a year if you can make the Parkey Field Goal.

Cody Parkey might have gone down in history with one of the most famous missed field goals on Sunday when his 43 yard field goal attempt hit the cross bar and the upright before falling flat. The Bears lost the game 16-15 to the Philadelphia Eagles and that was all she wrote for this season, but there is a silver lining.

Goose Island just announced via twitter that all you arm chair quarterbacks will have your day in the sun. If you think you can do better than Cody Parkey, this is your shot. Per their tweet, they say they are going to, "Build a dang field goal post in the middle of the street outside of our brewery, and all you pro athletes can come out and prove us wrong". If you can get it through the uprights, set up at 43 yards, you will win free beer for the year and of course, eternal glory.
