Simeon Hardaway will miss 3 games with a groin. It is the third time this season he has been on the report.

He has 8,130 yards from scrimmage in five seasons, and thirty-seven touchdowns. His best was 3,139. This is not that, yet. For two clubs.

He turned twenty-eight this year. He is from Grange, Illinois. Ask anybody: he would rather be almost anywhere else on a Tuesday. The route here: found at a regional combine by a scout whose flight had been cancelled.

Firebrands are 4-4 through eight weeks. Barney Grit is in year two of it. There is one year left on the deal.

Reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious.

This feature ran in the paper in week 8 of 1996. The rest of the season is there too.
