Your feelings on Adam Vinatieri possibly obtaining a 5th Super Bowl ring? - New England Patriots Forums

PATRIOTSFANINPA · 02-03-2010, 04:52 PM

What are your feelings about Adam possibly doing something that only one other NFL player (Charles Haley) has done before in winning Super Bowl rings to cover all fingers on one hand?

Do you....

Hope his f-ing leg falls off in attempting a game winning FG?

Show respect and congratulations for a well deserved career?

Realize that other than Brady and the defense he was the difference maker in all 3 Super Bowls as a Patriot and are O.K with him winning another even if it means the Colts are champs again?

Do you think there is no easier way to win 5 rings as being a player that does not have the toughest job and he was just in a lucky position being on solid teams his career?

Do you not give a damn about the whole situation with the rings as long as you do not see him doing another commercial for Snickers and calling it Nougatieri?

or feelings of some other sort?

It's killing his ego that he is irrelevant ... he is seething.

So he may get a 5th ring ... he did nothing to deserve it ... he should pawn it if he gets it.

Good Luck to him.

Without him, we may still be waiting for our ring.

He's made one hell of a career for himself and I think Indy will regret using Stover ahead of Adam.

And some may say Brady and Manning may have 0 rings without Adam.

He single handily won a game against the Ravens during the Colts '06 SB run.

I'm over the hurt from Adam leaving and I wish him well (although I pray the Colts lose). I think it's amazing that he's playing in his sixth Super Bowl. Is that a record?

Edit: This is more interesting and yes it counts since he is on the active roster (http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nfl...ike&id=4871425)

He's about to tie the record for all-time Super Bowl appearances by a player, with six. And he has a chance to become one of only two players in the history of the NFL with five Super Bowl rings, joining Charles Haley.

Matt Stover, who turns 42 on Wednesday, will become the oldest player to ever participate in the Super Bowl.

He won't,so I have no feelings.

He is a HOFer, IMO regardless of what transpires Sunday...and I know he's not "playing" (or kicking, if BP is reading this).

I hope he pulls a groin muscle shanking a "would-be" game tying kick in the final seconds. Other than that, thanks for your huge kicks as a Patriot, Adam.
