Winston Interceptus finds it, in year 1

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Winston Interceptus QB
Muskox

Winston Interceptus had 163 yards. He was undrafted out of Ozark Wesleyan, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. Out of Ozark Wesleyan, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. It counts the same as anybody else's.

19,747 yards over thirteen seasons. 321 touchdowns. 212 games. His best was 1,879. This is not that, yet.

He is thirty-four, out of Salt Fork, Oklahoma. Around the building he talks constantly and means about half of it.

Muskox are 1-0 through one weeks. Elias Larue is new. He is out of contract after this.

One more thing: he reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious.

This feature ran in the paper in week 1 of 1996. The rest of the season is there too.
