The Fighting Ostriches

Tomas Mostert, formerly of the Roughnecks: 169 yards. He was asked about it and said it was just another game. He runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.

17,802 yards over thirteen seasons. 135 touchdowns. 216 games. There was a 2,095-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in four buildings.

He turned thirty-four this year. He is from Doverville, Georgia. The route here: drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

The Fighting Ostriches are 3-7 through eleven weeks. Rico Norwood is in year seventeen of it. There is one year left on the deal.

He collects vinyl and is insufferable about it, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 11 of 2000. The rest of the season is there too.
