The relevant treatment

NEWPORT BEACH — A kicker rarely gets a huge party thrown for him.

Such a celebration is reserved for when he kicks the game-winning field goal in the Super Bowl.

Newport Beach disagreed Monday.

Hundreds of people at the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort celebrated the arrival of a kicker named Ryan Succop, aka Mr. Irrelevant XXXIV, the last player chosen in the NFL Draft.

Succop has never kicked in the NFL but is trying to earn a chance.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Succop as the 256th pick in April.

Newport Beach on Monday treated Succop as if he were Adam Vinatieri, who has won Super Bowls in the final seconds with his leg.
