Colts
Colts K Adam Vinatieri told reporters that if the team wants him back next year, “[he] can’t imagine (I’d) not keep playing.”
“If they’re wanting, I can’t imagine (I’d) not keep playing, you know?” Vinatieri said, via the Indy Star. “I haven’t made the decision yet. I’ll spend a week or two and just kind of see where we’re at.”
Even so, Vinatieri says he plans to take some time to make a decision.
“I never want to make a decision on a day like today, one way or another,” Vinatieri said. “That’s emotional. You’re not thinking through stuff.”

All of this HOOPLAH surrounding Tom Brady every year. Give it a reast already. Brady is a class act and also takes SUPREME care of himself. Did anyone watch his performance against the Chargers on Sunday? Not only was it an offensive clinic, Brady’s passing was laser like precision. Brady is not going anywhere anytime soon. BELIEVE IT! He will keep playing until every QB record is his alone. BELIEVE IT! Brees would need to retire first for Brady to get the career passing yards and touchdown records. And the way Brees and Co. are playing I don’t see the word retirement in Brees’ future for a while. So! Get used to Tom Brady in January and February for at least five more years. Brady joked one time, that he would like to play till 50. Keep doing what your doing and that goal is not a far reach.
P.S. I wonder if all of this drama surrounding Tom Brady would exist, if Brady was a Dummycrat and not a Republican. Donald Trump did say “Tom Brady is a friend of mine.” Which turned The Media into a “bunch of bowling balls full of butcher knives.” Kudos to Tony Gonzalez for that phrase.
