But here he is, gray stubble and all, a key reason the Tennessee Titans are the NFL's last unbeaten team with a franchise-best 10-0 mark.

The fifth pick overall in 1995, Collins took his first team to the NFC championship game in his second season, and led the New York Giants to the 2001 Super Bowl. But he also had problems with alcohol and the behavior that went with drinking. Now the guy who once felt he had to be the life of the party is happy to rush home to his wife and 4-year-old daughter. A big night out these days? Playing cards with friends or sitting in a deer stand by himself.

"If you play 14 years in this business, part of your career is going to be about survival," Collins said.

An audio slideshow with Collins talking about his career and this season will be available in the sports/nfl08/collins folder after 4 p.m. Friday.

UPCOMING: FOOD'S FUTUREBIOFUELS AMSTERDAM, Netherlands In future years we may look back at the Great Mexican Tortilla Crisis of 2006 as the time when ethanol lost its vroom. Right or wrong, that was when blame firmly settled on biofuels for the surge in food prices. The diversion of American Corn from flour to fuel put the flat corn bread out of reach for Mexico's poorest. Two years later, the search is on for ways to keep corn on the table rather than in the gas tank.

MEASURE OF A NATION-VICTORY'S WORDS He spoke about posterity, and for it. But in looking forward at his finest hour, Barack Obama never forgot to look back. In a victory speech stirring not only for its content but for its journey into American yesterdays, the president-elect lionized and derided through the campaign for his speaking abilities managed to bask in party triumph even as he summoned his constituents-in-waiting to service and hope. The line between political speeches and presidential ones is usually axiomatic: They're political, or they're presidential. What Obama delivered Tuesday night was something in between an eloquent agenda built for the 21st century but crackling with the 1960s.

This story and all past installments of the Measure of a Nation series which includes stories, videos and anImations are packaged in an interactive in the national/measurenation folder.

For Hosted Custom News subscribers, a section front slugged MEASUREOFNATION is available. It includes the interactive, all the stories in the series and related videos.
