    Havard "Kickalicious" Rugland's fun story ran its course this preseason after the Detroit Lions released the kicker Tuesday, the team announced.

    The Norwegian YouTube sensation exceeded expectations in Lions' training camp and the preseason, but he never was a real threat to beat out veteran David Akers and replace the newly retired Jason Hanson.

    Kickalicious went 3 for 3 on field goal attempts in the first two weeks of preseason, including a 50-yarder.

    He proved he has the leg to kick in the NFL and could handle the spotlight. Unknown just a year ago, he couldn't have asked for much more than the shot to prove he can kick.
