Question
Today is the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. What NFL Hall of Fame player is the great-great-grandson of the man who in 1876 served as the bandmaster for George Armstrong Custer?
Answer
Adam Vinatieri. Felix Vinatieri was born in Italy. Custer on the morning of the 25th decided to use the band’s horses, ordering the members of the band to head back to camp rather than going ahead with the regiment. (Without that decision, Adam Vinatieri probably never would have been born, with somebody else having to handle a lot of those key kicks for the Patriots.)
