What moment stands out to you, Busby, as a fond Vinatieri moment?
Well, I, I don’t know about you, but I’m still waiting on my gold jacket that y’all promised me.
And may- maybe the, the S- Oh the UPS man has not come yet.
Maybe I haven’t gotten a knock on the door yet.
That’s it.
But in order to kill time- It’s above my pay grade yeah, exactly.
In order to kill time until that gets here, Vinatieri had 29 game winners.
He had 14 kicks on the final play of the game.
He was just unstoppable in those late game moments.
I’m going all the way back to Super Bowl XXXVI.
He broke a tie with the Rams, 48-yard kick back in 2002.
