141 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like J. Kowalczyk, who was rugby until he was nineteen, and he tackles like it. 141 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. He has a rule about not reading anything written about him, which he breaks, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It counts the same as anybody else's.

This story ran on the wire in week 12 of 1996. The rest of the season is in the paper.
