So, you know, I would definitely say number one's by far the most, though, because it's the first time you've gone through it.
the one that I care about the least, the two that we were part of that we lost. I would like that stuff. You know, everybody sits there and goes, man, if we don't win, I don't even want to be in the playoffs. And after that, I understand the theory.
I mean, you still, it's still a lot of hard work to get to it, but everybody forgets number two, you know, it's kind of like kissing your sister kind of thing. It's not nearly as much fun. That's for sure.
I feel like personally for me, it does not. I guess I could go back and do a study on every time that they've iced a kicker for a game winner versus not to see what the statistics say. But the few times that they've done it for me – I guess it depends on the kicker, right?
If a kicker starts to sit there and think about, oh, my God, and lets the pressure build on him, maybe it's a good situation for the team to do that. For me, I was always like, all right, if you want to call the timeout, it gives me 30 more seconds to – figure out the wind, get my footing right, you know. I know Gruden didn't ice me on the snowball one, and that was probably the right thing.
I mean, the field was covered with snow, and if he would have gave me another 30 seconds, I probably could have cleared a little bit more snow off and had my footing a little bit better. Probably, you know, if it's a rookie first year guy, maybe you try that. Maybe, probably you do. On an old veteran guy, I don't listen. I've seen it work the opposite way.
I watched, who was it, Joe Nedney when he was with Tennessee, I believe, you know, and missed a kick, but they called timeout. And sure enough, you know, he goes back out there and he makes the next one. So, yeah. Nothing not to throw Joe, you know, not to say anything negative about him. He's a great kicker. But I think more times than not, I don't know if it helps. I really don't.
I love them both, and there's zero disrespect to Peyton Manning, but I'm taking Tom every time.
I've lived it too many times to ever disrespect him and not say Tom Brady.
I'm still taking Tucker. I know he had a tough season this year, but he's pretty damn good still. I'm still taking Tucker. You see what Mikey did there? You can say 75% this season, but he's 89% on his career. And if he knows my life's on the line, hopefully he likes me well enough to go ahead and put that one through.
Well, I do. So so I remember watching like Janikowski and I'm losing the name now. When I was a rookie, he was the kicker for the Giants. He's the kickoff guy. And I just remember like like my best kickoff and his best kickoff didn't even look the same. Right. Like he he's just murdered the ball. Right. And I was just like. man, I wish I could kick a ball that far, that, you know, whatever.
But, you know, I kind of sat there and said, my mindset and my ability to zone in and to focus, I would take that ability over leg strength or speed or whatever. Like, okay, nobody would say, well, Adam's got the strongest leg in the world ever. Well, no, I know a handful of guys that probably could kick farther than me, but yeah.
Hey, man, 48-yarder at the end of the game, I'm taking nobody but myself because I know that I'm going to walk out there and I'm going to drill that sucker.
Yeah, so Colts has got this great program going on, Safety Impact Award, highlighting the critical mission of educating everyone on safety and responsible firearm ownership. Myself, Clay Matthews, Joe Thomas, and Fletcher Cox are all working with a bunch of nonprofit organizations. And so the thing that you can do is go to safetyimpactaward.com, vote on the potential winner.
And for every vote, $1 goes to the winning nonprofit organization for every vote cast. All you have to do, like I said, is if there's a safety during the Super Bowl, some lucky winner will win up to $100,000 from Cordova. So all you got to do, safetyimpactaward.com, vote. Voting ends January 31st, so get out there and vote, and please vote for me.
Appreciate you.
