Two more today. 28 between them. You do not coach that in a week. They have played 3 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

6,545 yards over twelve seasons. Ninety-five touchdowns. 167 games. There was a 943-yard year in there. This is not it. For three clubs.

He is thirty-three, out of Detroit, Michigan. Around the building he is the one the young players actually ask. Nobody planned any of it. He was a first-round pick out of Governors College, and everybody saw it coming.

Boarhounds are 5-3 through nine weeks. Oscar Kearse is in year twenty-one of it. There is one year left on the deal.

He keeps his father's work gloves in his locker, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 9 of 2001. The rest of the season is there too.
