Does "Icing" the kicker really work?

What does work is getting the timeout called only for the kicker to miss and be granted the timeout, only then to go on and kick the game winning FG.

Some teams have an invisible guy who whispers lines from Chinatown to the kicker during the timeout. It works better when he sounds like Jack.

Which is what happened on the Falcon's/Seahawk Game with 8? seconds left yesterday. What was a hoot on that game was watching Pete Carroll strut and fuss around the sidelines like he didn't know who called the timeout, when the cameras clearly showed him telling the ref "timeout" right before the snap. Atlanta kicker missed that kick. But he made the kick on the second try after the timeout, and won the game for Atlanta. It clearly put Seattle out of the playoffs! And it was a 49 yard kick, with under 10 seconds. Pretty much as high pressure as it gets! Against Pete Carroll. Couldn't happen to a more deserving coach (not team). In my opinion, of course!
