The old saying “Father Time is undefeated” is as real as it gets! Somebody needed to tell Adam Vinatieri that TODAY. As a matter of fact, they needed to tell him that last week when he completely wet the bed missing multiple field goals and an extra point.
Well playas…he showed up in Nashville on Sunday and missed two extra points putting the Colts in bind. Luckily, they were able to still beat the Titans 19-17. They’re 1-1 on the season and they literally should be 2-0 right now. What’s so crazy is that they could be 0-2 right now fooling around with a dun that’s 43 years old that won’t go somewhere and sit his butt down.
Everything was all good until “Father Time” kicked in his front door last week like the Feds in the projects at 4am. That was his tip to get out of the car with his hands up without resisting. However, he wouldn’t follow orders and now the Colts are going to have to have that talk with him.
It’ll go something like this, “Look here homie. We’ve got crazy respect for you and we don’t want to fire you because your resume is NUTS!!! You’ve got 4 Super Bowl rings, been to the Pro Bowl 3-times and you’ve been named the First Team All-Pro 3-times as well. You’ve been completely off of the charts buddy but at this point playa you’ve got to go. So this is what we’re going to do. We’re going to let you retire right now instead of us firing you. No ifs, ands and buts about it. Clean out your locker and we all can keep it movin’.”
Yep, that’s how it going to go down. If you ride past the 56th street complex over the next 24 hours make sure you’ve got your windows up on your car because balls will be flying all over the place with folks trying out for the new kicker’s job.
All good things must come to an end and Vinatieri’s career has finally come to an end. Stop me when I start lyin’!
