Adam Lingner hiked the ball, Frank Reich spotted it, and Norwood struck it. The kick had the length – 47 yards– but veered perhaps a yard outside the goal post, “wide right” as Al Michaels memorably called it.

Investors and management consultants, in general, aggressively cheer deals, and praise attitudes and executives favoring transactions.
