The Porterhouse
Rocket Spiralman sustained a meniscus and is expected to miss 7 games. It is the second meniscus of his career.
He has 17,060 yards from scrimmage in eleven seasons, and 246 touchdowns. He got to 2,077 once. Not this time. He has done it in three buildings.
He is thirty-five, out of Cattaraugus Falls, New York. Around the building he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.
The Porterhouse are 1-0 through one weeks. Cormac Bombardo is in year thirteen of it. The contract runs out in the spring.
Calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.
