Summary

Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri on the greatest field goal of his life, on the prospect of making the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day, and, at 44, how much longer he thinks he’ll play. Falcons CEO Rick McKay, after a tour of the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, on the unique elements of the stadium, on the 36.5-ton Hungarian falcon that welcomes fans to the place, and on creature comforts that make the ticket at a Falcons game almost like a cover charge. Falcons owner Arthur Blank on the future of stadiums, on how his vision for the new stadium became a reality, and on creating a partnership between the low-income West Side of Atlanta and the affluent downtown.

Hello, I'm Peter King. Welcome to the MMQB podcast with Peter King, where I take you inside the minds of the biggest influencers in the NFL.

This week, a different... in the record setting

0:20.1

This week a different kind of podcast. I've got Adam Vinnitary the record setting Indianapolis colts kicker and then I take a tour of the new Mercedes-Benz stadium in

0:25.8

Atlanta with Rich McKay, the president and CEO of the Falcons, before their

And this week, you probably heard or saw that the National Football League is on the verge of suspending

1:14.7

Vontes Berfic, the Cincinnati Bengals linebacker for five games

And that was Anthony Sherman, a running back with the Kansas

City Chiefs in a preseason game on August 19th. Now a lot of people feel a lot of
