Re: Vinatieri to the colts!!

Good deal for Indy. Typical Bill Polian style too, lie in the media for weeks about not pursuing any free agents, come from nowhere and land a guy who was never even mentioned to have been interested in playing for Indy. Same thing happened last year when he got Corey Simon.

He will help this team, maybe not so much in the regular season, but he will come playoff time. He hit 2 game winners in the supwerbowl. It doesnt get any bigger. Vandershank missed every big kick he ever took in the playoffs and his teammates couldnt stand him. My lasting memory of Mike Vanderjerk will be his taunting of the Steeler Bench as they iced him before his kick, then the way he proceeded to miss the kick as badly in a dome stadium as people have ever seen. I wont miss that crap one bit.

You know what man, that is my last memory of him too lol. Just thought it was a great bit of irony; not only winking and blowing kisses at the bench then missing the kick, but how he blamed their first playoff loss to the Pats on Peyton, and now look who's the goat.

Then again, you guys had this coming when you decided to make him play sober lol grin.gif

Re: Vinatieri to the colts!!

Sad thing about it is that wasnt the first time he had done that. Opening night 2004, he taunted the Patriots up in Foxboro when they iced him. That would have tied the game as well, and as you might expect, he choked on that kick too. From what i have heard, the Colts management was not one bit happy the way Vanderjoke was on Lettermans show 3 days after blowing the kick versus Pitt and splitting the uprights from 46 yards away with Dave as a holder and Mike in dress shoes. That was the last straw for Mikey V in Indy.

Re: Vinatieri to the colts!!

LOL, just read where the Patriots are bringing Vanderjerk in for a visit, his agent says there is "mutual interest from both parties". Wouldnt that be something, the Colts and Pats swap kickers. Im not sure thats a good idea for Mike, if you remember back before the 04 playoff game, he said the pats were "ripe for the pickin" and other junk. The Patriot players were not one bit happy about that, he may get killed up there. In fact i think it was Bruschi who labeled him "Vanderjerk" to begin with,

Re: Vinatieri to the colts!!

anyone heard of the term "dime-a-dozen"

and before you guys go off, I know Vinny has hit some big ones....somebody else would have too.

Vinny might hit a Super Bowl winning kick for the Colts someday, but it's Peyton that will have to get the team to that big game.

Why such a fuss over a kicker? Man, what's next we gonna start talking soccer in this forum? grin.gif

John...enter NFL kicker's name here:__________________

On a different day, Vinny misses his kick, also on a different day Vander hits his kick and your Stillers are sent home.

Just cause Vinny made a few, doesn't mean he'll make them all. That kind of thinking is absurd.
