The Tales of Adam Vinatieri, the NFL's Forrest Gump

Someday, Adam Vinatieri may tell this story to a perfect stranger while sitting on a bench waiting for a bus, eating from a box of chocolates as a white feather floats in the breeze.

Vinatieri has floated through more than two decades in the NFL, finding himself in the middle of history time and again, and often creating it. It happened again Sunday when Vinatieri kicked two field goals in the Indianapolis Colts' 34-26 victory over the Tennessee Titans, setting a record of 43 consecutive field goals without a miss.

Looking back, his story seems more like a movie than a career.
