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...

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...

INDIANAPOLIS — If there ever was any weirdness involved, Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri said he got over that long ago. Not that this week won’t be notable for Vinatieri.

Once the lockout ends, Adam Vinatieri will become a free agent. After a pretty down year in 2009, Vinatieri came up big last season for the Indianapolis Colts, with many clutch kicks. If it weren’t for the sloppy defense on the last drive of the Colts’ loss to the New York Jets in last year’s playoffs, everyone would be praising Vinatieri for his clutch, game-winning...

Pat McAfee shows why the search for Vinatieri’s future replacement may be over.
Adam Vinatieri just signed a 3-year deal with the Colts, giving the Colts the security of knowing that one of the most prolific place kickers in NFL history will remain in Colts’ Blue and White for a while longer. Given Vinny’s age, though, it is not unacceptable to think the Colts would be looking for

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.

Relive the Moment: Adam Vinatieri Nails 45-Yard Field Goal to Force Overtime in 'Snow Bowl' Against Raiders
Mother Nature threatened to leave her mark on the Patriots' 2002 AFC divisional playoff game against the Raiders.

They then, of course, went on to defeat the St. Louis Rams in the Super Bowl later that postseason...

Say what you want about NFL kickers: they’re soft, they shouldn’t be regarded as “real” NFL players, and so on and so forth. Yet some things remain irrevocably true no matter how one feels about a kicker’s relative worth and overall manliness when compared to other players: due to their grueling training regimen and unique [...]

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:

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...
