I, too, tend to agree with Vandy here. Moreover, Mike is not just your typical kicker. I believe the guy played some quarterback in college and also served as the kicker. So, the guy's got a little more "football sense" than your Gramatica types and his words here do ring true.
In any case, dudes are pmsin' this week. I debated posting anything about this yesterday, but Philly's post here seems to be a good segue. Jerry Porter is out of his skull criticizing the Tampa Bay secondary the way he did. You don't get scorched like that and then talk the kind of shit he did. Granted the front four played a HUGE part in those interceptions by getting extreme pressure on Gannon, but the secondary definitely sealed the deals. Here's the article quoting Jerry Porter talking smack about the Buccaneers secondary:

 Puullleeeeeeeease!  You have a lot to learn, Mr. Porter. Start takin' more notes from Jerry and Tim while you've still got them around.

W W! Did you hear those scathing comments of Peyton's directed toward Vanderjagt?  H LY shit! Someone's in for an ass-whooping! 
Ya' know I finally saw the Vanderjagt interview! It really did not seem like that big of a deal. Stupid on his part, but more hype than anything, in my opinion. However, and I'll say it again, I do think the guy has a point. Just bad execution!
I also wanted to say that Manning's condescending attitude when he made his comments came off dickish to me. Whatever.

Via "the Gridiron Newsstand" and out of CNN/SI, I thought these two pieces on this topic were GREAT reading (read the two articles in the order presented as the second further develops the point the first one leaves off on):
http://www.indystar.com/print/articles/2/020248-2292-038.html
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/phil_taylor/news/2003/02/03 /hot_button/
Check out this quote in particular from the former piece:
"If the Colts cut Vanderjagt before June 1, he would count $750,000 against the 2003 salary cap instead of his full salary of $1.65 million. If the Colts cut the kicker after June 1, they can split the $750,000 salary cap hit over the next two seasons.
Mortensen said he's surprised Colts president Bill Polian hasn't cut Vanderjagt and expects the move in the next week or so. Mortensen also said he knows Dungy well enough to suspect the coach wants Vanderjagt released.
'To me,' Mortensen said, 'you've got to make a statement and get him out of there now.'"

I realize the statements that started this whole ball rolling were not handled in the best manner, but who wouldn't want a kicker with a little bit of fire and desire to win?? |

I agree, Philly!
Here is ESPN's Sean Salisbury's take on Manning's comments:
http://msn.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/salisbury_sean/1503415.html
Whatever! Manning did the right thing, and, in any case, it seems like all is good and well ??? , or good and done, or well and done, or well, done and good, or well-done and good, or well and good ??? , now.  Everybody has made up. BOOOORRRING!  Anyway, here's the proof right off "the Gridiron Newsstand":

The soap opera was fun while it lasted!   - Mu-ah-ha-ha-ha!

Did you listen to the comments he made? |

Come on Philster! Do your homework, my friend! Where is that wavelength that we are both usually traveling on? As per the article from the Indianapolis Star that I cited, I was pointing out that I thought Manning "did the right thing" in "apologizing." What else could I have meant, especially given the context of the rest of my posts? Jeeese, even KJ 76 got confused here, evidenced by his post, the point of which is basically out of sequence. :sheesh:

My board hasn't been waxed in a while now, so I haven't been surfing many wavelengths. (Go ahead and twist this statement around... I know you're chomping at the bit...)
Also, you sited an article?
If you cite a site, can it be considered a siting or is it still a citing? What a sight that would be...

I don't know what you're talking about! 
...
And, just for your information, I had typed that "Last Edit" part at the bottom myself for fun!  See! You probably don't even remember seeing, or should I say, siting that. You don't know what you're talking about!
...
Uhhhh... If that doesn't work, uhhhhh... I was merely tryin' to say that that was an article I saw. I mean... what if I decided after the fact not to "cite" the article, but just wanted to tell the reader that I "sited" it, would that then be "exciting"?

I am so glad someone in the "kind of big, kind of mainstream" media finally stated "the fact of the matter as a matter of fact" regarding this whole debacle. Paul Charchian of Fanball.com states what I, and a couple others of us, have been saying throughout this ordeal. That is that "Vandy has a point." Well, read it and weep or disagree or whatever it is that you want to do...
"Lost in the shuffle of the Manning-Vanderjagt cat fight is one unmistakable fact: Vandy is right.
To this point, Manning and Dungy have proven themselves capable of getting teams to the playoffs, and incapable of winning once there. Winning playoff games requires intensity and focus beyond what is needed to salt away a regular season patsy.
Manning and Dungy are both low-key competitors. They win with smarts, not fiery emotion. To win three or four playoff games, a team needs intensity, especially from its leaders. Did anyone else notice that the Raiders seemed passive throughout the Super Bowl-even in its pregame introductions?
Vandy was right to be concerned. The Colts will only go as far as Manning and Dungy take them. Unless those two learn to become more effective leaders, they'll never hoist the Lombardi Trophy."
