Adam Vinatieri needs to see the test man. (Twitter)

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri may be considered one of the best of all time, but he's never been known for having a particularly strong leg. In the Colts' wild-card game against the Bengals on Sunday, though, Viniateri made a 53-yard field goal with a ton of room to spare.

Monday morning, Vinatieri was ordered by the league to take a random drug test. Colts punter Pat McAfee thinks maybe the test wasn't so random.

When u're closer to 60 than 20 & bang a 53 yarder 3/4 of the way up the upright..This type of thing is expected #GOAT
*************************
The NFL remembers that Vinatieri used to play for the Patriots....a team that had its share of cheating controversy. And yes, it's not random if they write your name on a piece of paper telling you that it's random. Random means no names!
----------
Anyone drug testing ref's who seem dazed and confused?
---------
next they will test peyton manning cause he threw the ball more than 20 yards.
---------
Maybe they should have drug tested the referee who picked u his penalty flag in the Dallas/Detroit game! Or maybe look in his pockets for some Jerry Jones dollars!
---------
Vinitieri's in the clear....after further review...the ref determined that he missed the kick.
---------
My Uncle Vito says take the points in the Dallas/Green Bay game. He made the refs and the league office an offer they couldn't refuse.
---------
Outdoors in Jan or a sudden spike in 50+ yard kicks, maybe there is debate but indoors and at his age I would be shocked if they found something in his system. Amazing the NFL can move quickly on a kicker but they sweep the officiating debacle from the Dallas game under the rug.
 
I Hav thought all year long that Larry Foote should be tested. He played better than he ever has and he ain't no spring chicken.
 
I said this in the game thread. I don't trust ANY Cheatriot. Not one! He's juicing.

I like the "must have Pic ID" part....
like he would just send his neighbor down to do the test instead.
And like they don't know who fucking Adam Vinatieri is. hes been in the NFL for 100 years and you don't recognize him? Cmon man.
 
LOL, Poor guy. That's one way to make a motherfucker feel old really fast.
 
Too bad we'll never got to see the results.
Even if he fails and is suspended.

Whatever. Bfd.
 
Kind of lays waste to the ridiculous word "random"...Oh, sorry...I didn't read the whole thing...It said he was randomly picked from the 40+ year old kickers who made kicks from outside 50 yards...OK, that could make it random...
 
I'm fine with this. When you are kicking some of the longest field goals of your career well after your prime, of course it is going to draw suspicion.

Sounds a lot like Sweden, where if the cops think you are too muscular to be naturally possible, you can be arrested and drug tested.
