The Fighting Ostriches
125 yards for Chip Firstdown, against the club that did not want him. We did. He runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.
The ledger, after fifteen seasons: 26,140 yards, 389 scores. His best was 2,710. This is not that, yet. For three clubs.
Miami, Florida is where he is from. He is thirty-six. The route here: the highest-rated recruit his state had produced in a decade.
The Fighting Ostriches, 5-2, and seven weeks gone. Rico Norwood is in year ten of it. He is out of contract after this.
One more thing: he calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.
