Masochistic Record Wants To Be Broken Again

SAN FRANCISCO—Days after San Francisco 49ers kicker David Akers set the new single-season mark for field goals made, the masochistic record publicly stated its strong desire to be broken “again, and again, and again—shattered even.” “I wish a new season could start right now, just so the tension could start building,” kicking’s highest single-season achievement said Saturday, adding that its been reached or broken four times since 1999, which is “more than most records but still not nearly enough.” “God, there’s nothing like that moment when you know you’re going to be broken. When it feels like the whole world is watching, waiting to see you toppled and tossed aside like the filthy, lesser number that you are. Jesus Christ, somebody break me again! Break me now! Destroy me!” When asked why it desired to be broken so much, the record said that, as a monument to excellence in placekicking, it is “a terrible, terrible record that deserves to be punished.”
