What was the longest successful field goal kick?

In American Football? NFL? 63 yards has been done twice... once by Tom Dempsey of the New Orleans Saints (he only had half a foot.) It was later tied by Jason Elam of the Denver Broncos. Elam routinely kicked longer in practice, so they let him have a go. That was something to see. 2002 Guinness Book of World Records. Jun 01 02, 3:26 AM

McG	Tom Dempsey was born without fingers or toes on his right side, which was the foot he kicked with. He wore a heavy, square-toed shoe with a blunt end. Jun 01 02, 12:04 PM

Jason Elam thinks that other kickers can do that too: 'The biggest thing with a kick that long is just getting an opportunity. I'd say three-quarters of the guys in the league have the ability to hit that ball,' Elam said. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/news/1998/10/25/elam_record/ Elam has hit 72-yarders (!!) in practice. I don't know if that's over defenders. http://netconductor.com/elam/ Jun 02 02, 7:37 AM
