Stranger things have happened.

Remember Kurt Warner?

Warner, the Iowa stock boy turned world champ, is one of 18 finalists up for consideration later this Super Bowl week for admission to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And yet, by all accounts, he's far from a lock, the man's candidacy as complicated and unusual as the playing career that preceded it.

The former Northern Iowa star didn't throw his first NFL pass in a regular-season game until the age of 27 and wasn't a No. 1 option until the age of 28, a cockpit opened -- and this is the movie part -- only because of a series of fluke injuries and providence. He started fewer than 10 games in a season six times over a dozen years as an NFL signal-caller.
