Vinatieri Honored by Carlie Irsay-Gordon | Indianapolis Colts News

Adam Vinatieri, the legendary kicker set to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has chosen Carlie Irsay-Gordon — the new principal owner of the Colts — to present him at his induction on August 8th in Canton, Ohio. After a 24-year career that included 10 seasons with the Patriots and 14 with the Colts, Vinatieri finally earned his Hall of Fame call after two tries. Originally, he wanted former Colts owner Jim Irsay to present him, but with Jim’s passing in May 2025, Carlie stepped in. Vinatieri was deeply impressed by her dedication to the game, having seen her in meetings and on the sidelines. He felt this choice honored both their legacies — a meaningful, fitting tribute for the next chapter. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
