oldschooler Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Wednesday, January 12, 2005 Patriot blasts 'Vanderjerk' Harrison mad after Colts kicker's 'ripe for picking' commentBy Howard UlmanThe Associated PressFOXBORO, Mass. - Mike Vanderjagt's mouth is still causing trouble, even though he's criticizing his opponents and not his coach and quarterback.On Tuesday, New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison fired back at the Indianapolis kicker."He has to be a jerk - Vanderjerk," Harrison said.Many of Harrison's teammates brushed off Vanderjagt's remark, made after Indianapolis dominated Denver 49-24 in the first round of the AFC playoffs. Speaking about the Patriots, he said, "I think they're ripe for the picking" in Sunday's playoff matchup with the Colts.Vanderjagt also said on WISH-TV in Indianapolis, "I think they're not as good as the beginning of the year and not as good as last year."Those comments stirred little controversy in Indianapolis, where his outspoken nature is well known. That's a contrast to his comments two years ago when he said after the Super Bowl that Peyton Manning should show more emotion and coach Tony Dungy is too mild-mannered.Manning then called Vanderjagt an "idiot kicker" and Dungy said Vanderjagt should have come to him with his complaints instead of airing them on TV. Manning and Vanderjagt later apologized to each other, and Vanderjagt met with Dungy.Now Vanderjagt has provided material coach Bill Belichick might use to generate extra motivation for a team seeking its third Super Bowl title in four years.But quarterback Tom Brady didn't think Vanderjagt's words carried much weight."I mean he's just talking, you know?" Brady said. "It's a kicker talking."Adam Vinatieri, the Patriots' kicker, was not talking."I try to just do my job on the field, and I guess it's better to not be heard, or seen maybe," Vinatieri said.

BengalszoneBilly Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 It seems every team has at least one guy who for whatever reason cannot keep his damn mouth shut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I might have to change my prediction, selling that T-shirt beforehand is some really bad karma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I am sure that all of the teams have those t-shirts already printed up, just like the caps. The league probably controls that kind of stuff too. So I don't think it is a case of the Colts getting ahead of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the teams still in the Playoffs are taking orders for T-Shirts like that.However the Colts had theirs on DISPLAY ! That is bad Karama. Ecspecially after you have an "idiot kicker" spouting off and giving the Super Bowl Champs who have a habit of beating you...bulletin board material !

TROLL Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 But quarterback Tom Brady didn't think Vanderjagt's words carried much weight."I mean he's just talking, you know?" Brady said. "It's a kicker talking." I like the way Brady put it "He's a kicker...who's talking. That's all it is. A talking kicker" Who ever heard of such a thing?

BengalszoneBilly Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Who ever heard of such a thing? A kicker should only talk with one thing. His foot. After he kicks a game winning field goal, he can consider that foot firmly planted in the other teams ass! At that point he can verbally talk s**t about that particular kick only for a 24 hours period maximum!Any further trash talking will require another game winner!

Bobcat Bengal Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 MAAAAAN, I bet Vanderjagt feels REAL dumb right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Vanderjagt also said on WISH-TV in Indianapolis, "I think they're not as good as the beginning of the year and not as good as last year." In the immortal words of Homer Simpson: DOH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
