  "account": "Each year, the Pro Football Hall of Fame bestows honors that invoke emotion, reflection, and sometimes a touch of humor. Kicker Adam Vinatieri was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday and did not hold back in his speech. Vinatieri made witty remarks about former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, future Hall of Famer Tom Brady, and former placeholder Pat McAfee. Among the humorous jabs, Vinatieri took a playful shot at former Indianapolis Colts teammate Peyton Manning. \"Peyton, thank you for generously donating your forehead for today's teleprompter,\" Vinatieri said. \"A gigantic forehead means a big brain, and your football IQ is unmatched, buddy.\" This exchange between Vinatieri and Manning occurred during their time as teammates from 2006-2011 in Indianapolis, where Manning signed with the Denver Broncos in 2012. Now, both are teammates again, in the esteemed Pro Football Hall of Fame.",
