MUST SEE: Golden Tate and his wife reveal gender of second child in AMAZING way!

It’s 2018 and it seems like more and more people expecting a baby are going out of their way to reveal the gender. Some are making cakes, releasing blue or pink smoke bombs, hitting an exploding golf ball, and some are even having a big party that nobody wants to go to…JUST KIDDING!

Well, it’s not surprising at all that former Detroit Lions and current Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate and his wife Elise, who is pregnant with their second child, planned a gender reveal that focused on helping those in need.

The Tate family focused on helping children in need with their #GenderRevealChallenge which took place at the 50-yard line of Lincoln Financial Field.

Watch as Golden and Elise line up tons of gifts to reveal the gender of their second child.

HUGE props to Golden and Elise Tate for truly understanding that the Holiday season is all about giving to those in need.

Jason Hanson vs. Matt Prater: Who is the greatest Detroit Lions’ kicker of all-time?

While browsing Twitter this afternoon, I came across a series of tweets debating whether Jason Hanson or Matt Prater is the greatest Detroit Lions‘ kicker of all-time. My immediate response was that Prater is the best the Lions have ever had but that was based solely on his percentage of makes from 50 yards and out.

That being said, I figured it would only be fair if I took a closer look before jumping to such a decisive conclusion.

Longevity

As you probably already know if you clicked on this, Jason Hanson spent 21 seasons with the Lions. During that time, he was selected to the Pro Bowl on two occasions (1997 and 1999) and he was always considered to be one of the most consistent kickers in the league. In his career, Hanson made 495 field goals (23.57 per season), including a career-best 34 in 1993.

As far as Prater goes, he is currently in his 12th season (5th season with the Lions), and like Hanson, he has been selected to two Pro Bowls (2013 and 2016). So far in his career, Prater has drilled 270 field goals (22.5 per season), including a career-best 31 in 2016 with the Lions.

You never know with kickers, but chances are that Prater, who is 34, will not play another nine seasons to match Hanson and likely will not end up with as many career field goals.

*Note: Prater still has two games remaining in 2018
