Ironmen

199 yards from a man who was a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go. The scouting industry declines to comment. He carries a chess set on the road and beats everyone, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It counts the same as anybody else's.

15,325 yards over eight seasons. 254 touchdowns. 137 games. He got to 2,468 once. Not this time.

Miami, Florida is where he is from. He is thirty. Ask anybody: he is the first man in the building most mornings.

Ironmen, 3-4, and seven weeks gone. Dale Porkchop is new. The contract runs out in the spring.

This feature ran in the paper in week 7 of 1990. The rest of the season is there too.
