Former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes has two Super Bowl rings to call his own thanks to the Giants’ Super Bowl victories over the New England Patriots.
So, Tynes couldn’t help himself when he saw the Patriots celebrating following their thorough destruction of the Indianapolis Colts during the AFC Championship Game.
The Pats have learned to celebrate the hell out of those AFC Championships because the know what comes 2 weeks later. #0-2inGlendale

The tweet got plenty of attention but Tynes didn’t back down. If anything, he upped his troll game considerably.
The facts are the facts. I sense the 10 year frustration in these tweets. Enjoy the AFC ring ceremony. They should have the process down

He even got in a nice dig which referenced the NFL’s investigation into whether the Patriots deflated some of the footballs at the AFC Championship Game AND David Tyree’s helmet catch.
I see that time has not healed the wounds of the Patriots faithful. Hang in there. Correct PSI is 13 equipment guys, helps stick to helmets

Best of all, to show that he has no ill-will towards all the Patriots fans who took offense to his Tweets, Tynes has promised to donate to Boston’s Wounded Warrior Project for each point kicked during the Super Bowl.
I will be donating up to $5,000 to the Boston @wwpinc $500 per kicking point, by each team in #SuperBowlXLIX #realheroes #whatreallymatters
