INDIANAPOLIS - Adam Vinatieri savored all those New England celebrations. He made the two big field goals in the Tuck Rule playoff game and, of course, the two game-winning Super Bowl kicks. On Sunday, the longtime Patriots kicker will return to his former home, possibly for the final time. Its amazing, the 42-year-old Colts kicker said when asked about his career this week. I could never have been more lucky. If I wrote it as a book, people would never believe it. Believe it. The NFLs oldest player has played for three Super Bowl-winning coaches — Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick and Tony Dungy. Hes played with three No. 1 draft picks — Drew Bledsoe, Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck — and a three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback in Tom Brady. And, yes, as a rookie, Vinatieri actually did run down Dallas Herschel Walker on a kickoff return. Along the way, Vinatieri filled his resume with other incredible feats. He has four Super Bowl rings, is a perfect 6-0 on championship weekend as he makes his seventh appearance Sunday at New England (13-4). Vinatieri also is the NFLs career post-season scoring leader (233 points), and this weekend, he can make history in Foxborough, Massachusetts. He will surpass Jerry Rice for most post-season games (29) in a career, if he plays Sunday, and he can break Tony Fritschs record for most consecutive post-season games with a field goal (13), a mark that was set during the 1970s — so long ago that even the NFLs oldest player doesnt remember it. A win Sunday would send Vinatieri to another Super Bowl and give him a chance to tie Charles Haley for the most individual rings (five). Teammates are astounded by Vinatieris feats. A lot of guys never make the playoffs, said return specialist Josh Cribbs, a 10-year veteran who made his playoff debut Jan. 4. For me, this is like a cherry on top of my career — just being in there. Ive seen him (Vinatieri) play in a lot of games and the Super Bowl, like its nothing, like its another day. I guess a guy like that, nothing can faze him, Cribbs added. Perhaps nothing should faze a man who is the great, great grandson of Gen. George Custers bandmaster, a distant cousin of daredevil Evil Knievel and a guy who has hunted lions and bears. Age hasnt slowed down Vinatieri, either. This season, he scored 140 points and became the first player in league history to top 900 points with two different franchises. Vinatieri has missed only two kicks all season — a 46-yard field goal at Tennessee in the regular-season finale and a 44-yarder at Denver last weekend. And at the start of next year, Vinatieri will need just seven eight points to break Mike Vanderjagts franchise scoring record (995) and 12 points to top the 1,000-point mark with two different teams. Not bad for a guy who just wanted to land a spot on the Patriots roster. It didnt take long for Bostons hard-care fans to embrace him. Back then, I was the underdog trying to find a spot on the team, Vinatieri said. But since the best clutch kicker in league history signed with Indianapolis as a free agent in 2006, Patriots fans have greeted Automatic Adam with a resounding chorus of boos each time he comes back to Gillette Stadium. Following last seasons divisional-round loss, Vinatieri told a Boston radio station that he was disappointed by the crowds reaction. After all, Vinatieri hasnt shed all of his Boston roots. He still appreciates a cup of coffee from Dunkin Donuts, he still likes the Red Sox and he still enjoys seeing some old friends at Gillette Stadium. It might be his final chance. With the Colts hosting New England during the 2015 regular season and no assurance Indy (13-5) will bring back a 44-year-old kicker in 2016, after his current two-year deal expires, Sundays game could be Vinatieris Foxborough farewell. I wont reminisce, he said. It will be business as usual. Hed just like to finish it in his trademark style — with another postgame celebration in New England. Its a special thing to be in the league for a long time, to play with franchises that win in the playoffs and go deep in the playoffs, Vinatieri said, explaining the secret to his success. You try to focus on the job at hand and not the grandness of it all.

There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season.When it comes to LeBron James, all thats certain is this: One fan base is about to feel scorned, and other is about to feel absolute joy. Miami or Cleveland? The same choice he faced four years ago is the one facing the four-time NBA MVP now. He became a champion in Miami. He still calls Ohio home. Its obviously not an easy decision, and the ramifications of what hes about to say -- its still unclear when any announcement will be coming, but its more than likely sooner than later -- will have a massive impact on the Heat and the Cavaliers. For the Heat, keeping James is likely the only way they can stay a championship-contending team for a fifth straight season next year. If he stays, it would seem likely that Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh would re-sign with Miami as well, keeping the "Big 3" that has played in each of the last four NBA Finals intact for at least another season. For the Cavaliers, its a chance to welcome home the player who fans -- and the teams owner Dan Gilbert -- directed so much scorn toward when he left in 2010 after seven brilliant seasons. James left Las Vegas late Thursday, two people close to the situation told The Associated Press. One of those people said James and Wade were flying together to Miami, and that James would be continuing on from there for his long-planned trip to Brazil for the World Cup finals. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because none of the details were revealed publicly. Earlier Thursday, James again appeared at his skills academy for the nations top high school and college players, scrimmaging and then watching games in the afternoon with some friends, including Wade. Meanwhile, in Bath Township, Ohio, cars lined the streets near James 30,000-square-foot mansion in anticipation of an announcement. People posed for photographs and TV news crews did remote reports from the driveway of his off-season home. ------ As he makes his choice, heres some things he may be considering about returning to Cleveland: BUSINESS HEADQUARTERS: Northeast Ohio is where James and his close friends grew up. He has business interests in the Cleveland area. He and his LRMR agency recently signed popular college quarterback Johnny Manziel to a marketing deal. Manziel now plays for the Browns. YOUNG ROSTER: Although the Cavaliers havent made the playoffs since he left, they can offer James a young roster filled with potential and promise. Theyre led by All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who recently agreed to sign a five-year contract extension, and the Cavs also have two other No. 1 overall draft picks in Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins. COACHING STAFF: Clevelands coaching situaation could be a concern.dddddddddddd The Cavs are on their third coach since James left and the team recently hired David Blatt, an international icon but someone who has not coached in the U.S. before. The Cavs did hire well-respected assistant Tyronn Lue, who has a strong relationship with James. CAVS ASSETS: The Cavs have assets they could trade to bring another elite player to Cleveland and have had preliminary talks with Minnesota about a deal for forward Kevin Love. OWNER: The biggest obstacle in James possible return could be his relationship with Gilbert. In the hours after James left four years ago, Gilbert blistered James in a scathing letter to Cleveland fans. In an AP interview that same night, Gilbert said James quit during the playoffs. ------ And while James has strong ties to Ohio, he has also forged them in Miami. PROVEN WINNERS: Instead of potential, the Heat are proven champions. James has been to four straight NBA Finals with Miami, winning two championships. They have made good on the promise Heat President Pat Riley made to James four years ago: Come to Miami, be part of something special, and compete for titles every year. COACHING STAFF: There hasnt been turnover in Miamis coaching staff and front office since James joined the Heat. Hes played for just one coach, Erik Spoelstra, and Riley has championship pedigree. OWNER: Unlike the situation with Gilbert, theres no rancour with Heat owner Micky Arison. The Heat have preached a family approach to everything, even allowing members of James inner circle access to the locker room and other team areas -- no minor thing within the framework of the Heat culture. BIG 3: James came to Miami in large part to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, both of whom also are free agents. Its hard to envision Bosh staying if James leaves. Its easy to see both Wade and Bosh recommitting instantly, if James decides to stay in Miami. MIAMI INVESTMENTS: His wife has a juice bar in the Brickell neighbourhood of Miami and James is said to be investing in a chain of pizza restaurants coming soon to South Florida. He doesnt have Miami roots, but hes created ties to South Florida nonetheless. ------ Its easy to see why James is torn. Whether it was one of Gilberts planes coming to South Florida, or movers packing up James luxury cars from his Coconut Grove, Florida home, or reports that a cupcake shop in Ohio had heard from people that James had already decided to return to Cleveland, any nugget of information sets the rumour mill into overdrive. But his camp says he has all the information needed to make a decision. The ball is now in LeBron James hands. ' ' '
