I remember on one game where he made the kick and there was a closeup of Tony Dungy and he was mouthing

'Money"

It is arguable he might have been the greatest clutch kicker in the history of the game.

24 freaking seasons? I know kicking isn't the most demanding job in the NFL in terms of physicality, but that's impressive. Has to be the last remaining player who ever played a down in the 90s.

Great big game kicker. Deserves enshrinement.

was sitting in the south endzone of old foxboro stadium for the Tuck Rule/Snow Bowl game... saw the kick come thru the swirling snow, between the pipes... we erupted, letting the world know the kick was good... good times...

wow...

The story is that Peyton Manning went to Dungy when it looked like Vinny was shopping around and told him
"This guy could win us a SB."

 

[Ranched]

This is great news. Now Wentzie boy won't get easy wins for credit.

He joined the league when Dallas was the reigning SB champion.

The curse is lifted, It's our time now!

Crazy long career! Congrats to him! Greatest kicker of all time. He started playing in the NFL before one of my brothers was born.

yeah dude was $$$$
Never forget think it was Letterman had him on one night and was having him kick footballs off a roof trying to hit stuff. Hilarious. Seemed like a fun dude too. Congrats to him, first ballot HOFer.

No one appeared to even notice last season when he became NFL's all time leading scorer. Most points ever.
