Winston Interceptus QB
Muskox

Winston Interceptus returned from a hamstring and put up 17.2 points.

21,363 yards over fourteen seasons. 350 touchdowns. 231 games. There was a 1,879-yard year in there. This is not it.

He turned thirty-five this year. He is from Salt Fork, Oklahoma. He talks constantly and means about half of it. He was undrafted out of Ozark Wesleyan, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum.

The club is 9-7. Elias Larue is in year two of it. There is one year left on the deal.

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

This feature ran in the paper in week 17 of 1997. The rest of the season is there too.
