Football ? for Chuck and others

Wikipedia has an entry for "icing the kicker" which suggests that scientific studies have been inconclusive on the question of whether it makes any difference.

Teams have been icing the kicker as long as I can remember and it never really bothered me. What bugs me and virtually everyone else is this new-fangled practice of calling time-out mere seconds before the snap, often resulting in a kick attempt that doesn't really count. I have no idea why they allow this to continue. Frankly, I'm not sure it's even a good idea to give the opposing kicker a free attempt to maybe learn about the wind or his footing or whatever.
