The Porterhouse · week 2 · 2003

174 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

Hal Vandergrift, veteran beat

Ferris Inchcape QB
The Porterhouse

Ferris Inchcape was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take. Every one of those is a scout who kept his job anyway. 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.

He has 2,602 yards from scrimmage in five seasons, and thirty-six touchdowns. He has never had a year like it.

Twenty-seven, and Osaka, Japan before that. He talks constantly and means about half of it.

The Porterhouse, 1-1, and two weeks gone. Cormac Bombardo is in year twenty-six of it.

This feature ran in the paper in week 2 of 2003. The rest of the season is there too.
