It's like Norm leaving "Cheers" in 1989 and appearing on a ripoff show about people who hang off in a bar.Ĭraig, NY, NY: Bill. Jordan from Montreal: What's a more devastating blow to the Boston sports scene, losing Damon or Vinatieri?īill Simmons: (1:07 PM ET ) Vinatieri. Scott, Norwood MA: Who do you like in the Gauntlet II finals?īill Simmons: (1:07 PM ET ) I like Alton's team - the man has been like MJ circa 1992 all season. but why the hell would you want to play with manning and the Colts? Isn't that like leaving the cast of "Lost" to appear on "Love monkey?"īill Simmons: (1:06 PM ET ) All right, I'm done venting. it's one thing for Damon to go to the Yanks. I just feel like there's more to the story here.īill Simmons: (1:06 PM ET ) But the thing that saddens me is that he went to the Colts, of all places.
But the Patriots obviously felt that his skills were declining to the point that they didn't want to pay that much money for him - they're the ones who watch him practice every day, examine his back, examine his knee and everything else. After ten seasons and all the clutch kicks, he felt like he had earned that right. At the same time, I can't question the Patriots because they have had an nearly impeccable record of determining when one of their veterans has exceeded their value over the last five years - not one of them has come back to haunt them.īill Simmons: (1:04 PM ET ) I look at it this way: Vinatieri was looking for the respect and security of being paid like the highest-paid kicker in the league.
Adam gets permanent immunity from me because of everything that happened the past 10 years - I would never blame him for going somewhere else if he thought it was the right thing to do. Who's to blame here, the Patriots or Adam? Does this hurt his Hall of Fame chances?īill Simmons: (1:02 PM ET ) This is a tough one. Ray, Rehoboth, MA: Not to sound like Vito Corleone, but Adam Vinatieri is "dead to me now." Thanks for the memories.
