Adam Vinatieri is a legendary kicker, no doubt about it. (Indianapolis Colts;
Adam Vinatieri (4) kicks an extra point out of the hold of punter Hunter Smith
(17) against the Kansas City Chiefs during an NFL football game in Indianapolis
on Nov. 18, 2007. Vinatieri still follows his weekly routine: practice schedule,
pregame warmups, preparation for kicks. He figures the consistency has made
him the NFL's best clutch kicker).

However, when Adam misses a kick, it's headline news.
"November 11, 2007 - 11:06PM SAN DIEGO...Playing in the cold rain
of San Diego,...one of the top kickers missed a pair of short field goals.
That was too much for the Colts to overcome Sunday, as Adam
Vinatieri's shank of a 29-yard field goal with 1:31 left,
followed by Peyton Manning's sixth pick on the final
play of the game, sealed the Chargers' 23-21 victory."

But, I think Stephen Gostkowski is going to prove to have "better legs" for
the Patriots this year. Certainly, Stephen is a lot younger than
"old man" Adam Vinatieri.
