Cannoneers
Roman Passwater put 146 on the Custodians, who decided at some point that they could do without him. Everybody is very calm about it. Two of them found the end zone. The fixture comes round again next year.
He has 33,509 yards from scrimmage in sixteen seasons, and 498 touchdowns. There was a 2,822-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in five buildings.
Thirty-nine, and Gdansk, Poland before that. Around the building he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. He was the younger brother of a player nobody in this league remembers.
Cannoneers are 1-0 through one weeks. Hoot Jessup is in year fifteen of it. There is one year left on the deal.
He calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss, and always has.
