Is his jersey on backwards?

OK, I've got Monday Night Football on right now, while I'm doing some late writing and whatnot. The Bears (who are right now on the receiving end of a lopsided beating) have just kicked a field goal to get on the scoreboard, 17-3. But what's got me posting is this: Chicago's placekicker, a guy named Edinger. (Funny last name, that....)

Anyway, I watched this guy line up, and he was just standing there with his back to the line of scrimmage while the offensive and defensive lines set up. And he didn't turn to face the play until the snap of the ball. So, taking into account the twisting of his body as he makes the actual kick, in the course of a field goal attempt this guy's body pirouettes a full 270 degrees. Weird.

Oh well. Go Packers.
