Tom Brady would have 2 less rings if it werent for tha guy. He's not worth 200,000 more? Give me a break. And lets not try to spin this as " He's lost his touch " or " He's no longer clutch " cause he missed 2 field goals tonight. I dont need to refer any further back then last week when he kicked on down the middle to beat the Broncos. I get booing him, but if i was a New England fan, i'd show some respect.

While I agree I kinda wish the Patriots did just resign Vintiari, I think they felt different. Pretty sure he has already missed 2 games this season..hasn't he?
Also, it was more than a difference of $20,000 dollars, so I really don't know where you get your stats sometimes (probably outta your ass)
It was a small percentage of the salary cap though, so yeah I was pretty surprised when they didn't resign him but I've yet to see game where this choice has hurt them. It didn't even hurt the Patriots tonight while playing the Colts, since Vinatieri missed 2 kicks.
And it is like the Damon thing, people would still boo Damon even if he never said that thing about taking more money. This is Boston man, I don't know why are so shocked by this (especially from guy like you, I can't believe you are really talking about booing someone being tasteless)
