None of those Vinatieri's would have won anything, especially Adam for the Pats or Colts, if it wasn't for General Custer sending his 'band { lead by Felix Vinatieri } "home" and taking their horses from them and on into battle-

All those at Little Big Horn ambush were lost... but the band was not there...  this time. And Adam's great-great grandfather, the band leader, was spared.

 

Yes, I love NFL trivia like this { if folks haven't figured this out by now }

 

My music aficionado poster, @southwest1 , this is for you-

History, music, war, & Automatic Adam family bloodlines all rolled into one. Very impressive CBFL. You always have a fresh, multi-layered perspective on topics my friend. Your links were very informative & illuminating too, especially the ability to listen to Custer band tracks. Nice. 

 

I appreciate the complement by the way. Thank you. 

 

Since I consider Adam V. clutch when the situation warrants it just like he did vs the Broncos on Sunday, this tribute seemed fitting to me...

 

 

I have a soft spot for acoustic guitar & Adam's ability to always deliver feels like the 'Last of the Mohicans' to me. When the chips are down, Adam will always carry you home & drag you across the finish line if necessary.

    • Look at those feet!!! Beautifully lined up!
    • I doubt it.   Photography can be misleading.      For the record, AR was 234 in college.  Showed up at the combine at 244.  Then at one point with the Colts said he was in the low 250’s.  But it’s not clear if he stayed at that weight or lost some of it.    So do you think he’s in the 250’s now?   Heavier?   Honestly, the team typically updates the roster in mid-June.   So I’m reluctant to believe anything until the website gets updated.  Again, a camera angle can make a person look taller or shorter, heavier or lighter.  Just saying.    NOTE:   FWIW:  just checked.  This website currently lists AR at 244. 
    • Ah, that is good to know. Thanks.
    • When AR got injured, I strongly felt it was partially due to injury he had to his shoulder in college and that it wasn't rehabbed correctly. I am happy he got the surgery and has taken the time with the top medical advisors to rehab his arm. It should be back to where it was if not stronger. Given his age, I rather this happen now than in the future when his body is a bit more beat up.   I think he's going to have a big season this year. Going to have his growing pains obviously but is definitely going to surprise some people with his accuracy and pocket awareness (very natural feel/navigation from what we saw). Pair that up with some Steichen magic and this team is primed for some competitive play against anyone in the league.   Zaire was recently on Chris Long's podcast and the topic of CJ Stroud came up. Zaire said that he was frustrated about some of the stuff Stroud was talking on radio row at the Superbowl. CJ apparently said that he carved the Colts up both times. Zaire had to remind him that A) he hasn't beaten Anthony and B) the first game when Anthony played the Colts were up like 28-7 in the 2nd quarter and playing nearly full prevent defense. It was nice to see the fire from Zaire about both AR and against CJ.
