Nobody drafted this afternoon

Lamar Klopstock QB
Marauders

Lamar Klopstock is from Cork, Ireland. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched. He is now the best story on this team. He is 28, and he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. It counts the same as anybody else's.

The ledger, after two seasons: 5,031 yards, eighty scores. He has never had a year like it.

Marauders are 5-1 through seven weeks. Emmett Quarles is new. He is out of contract after this.

Klopstock has never once been photographed smiling on a sideline.

This feature ran in the paper in week 7 of 1978. The rest of the season is there too.
