Vinatieri Set Precedent
Teams are finding that you don't need to overpay for a clutch kicker when there's talent available in the Draft. The Patriots may have set the precedent by parting ways with Adam Vinatieri, but other teams -- like the Eagles and Vikings -- have come to similar conclusions.

Kravitz: Many holes to fill
Bob Kravitz says the same thing I say weeks ago: nearly every position on the Indianapolis Colts roster is suddenly a need. Well, almost:
After the quarterback position, what are the Indianapolis Colts' most pressing needs in the 2012 NFL draft?

Sorry, Pat McAfee and Adam Vinatieri: Almost everything.
Some areas slightly more than others -- they're in decent...

Former Super Bowl hero Adam Vinatieri explains the art of making a clutch kick…
Yesterday morning, we visited with former Patriots K Adam Vinatieri and checked in on his thoughts regarding his old team. He’s a member of the Colts, but he still has some feelings on the Pats.
In addition, I spoke with him about the starter now, Stephen Gostkowski. He’s just kicked one game-winner, but Gostkowski says he’s ready. Is he? We’ll see.
But Vinatieri...

Former Patriots K Adam Vinatieri says: “I want my buddies to have success.”
Yesterday, I stopped and chatted for a while with former Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri. The Super Bowl hero is in town because, well, he lives here and plays for the Colts.
But he was also repping Under Armour’s baselayer, which keeps him cool and light (he swears). He was also talking about how during Super Bowl XLVI, @UnderArmour, will be asking trivia questions and giving their...

Adam Vinatieri's Kick In Super Bowl XXXVI Started Boston Sports Resurgence
No one could have seen this coming. Before Adam Vinatieri’s last-second field goal split the uprights to defeat the St. Louis Rams to give the New England Patriots their first Super Bowl victory 10 years ago, Boston fans waited a long time for a championship. Larry Bird and the 1986 Celtics took down the Houston Rockets in six games to give the C’s their 16th championship. Things...

Richards: Colts refuse to lose
Phil Richards notes that the spirit we've seen all year from an intensely proud group of men used to winning simply willed them to win:
The Colts refused to lose.
They got an outstanding effort from a defense that has allowed 26 points in the past two games.
They got field goals of 23, 32, 47 and 31 yards from Adam Vinatieri, who missed from 42 yards.
And they got a gut-check...

What did former Patriots Super Bowl hero Adam Vinatieri think of being booed?
So, Colts QB Peyton Manning was celebrated by Patriots fans. And former Super Bowl hero kicker Adam Vinatieri was… booed? Really?
It’s true. And Vinatieri didn’t seem to mind.
“They were nice to me except for a few of the kicks,” he said. “But that’s to be expected.”
Vinatieri called Gillette Stadium a “fun place to play,”...

Colts fall short in 27-17 loss to Bengals
Kicker Adam Vinatieri found it surreal.
He lined up for a game-tying field goal, only to have it swatted away. A few minutes later, the Cincinnati Bengals forced a fumble and returned it for a clinching touchdown and a 27-17 victory Sunday that left the Indianapolis Colts still winless and a little more hopeless.
''It's not a lot of fun,'' Vinatieri said. &...
