2 more touchdowns from M. Pankhurst to Ivan Vermicelli, 30 in total. Target share explains some of it; the rest is the pair of them. They have played 15 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

The ledger, after nine seasons: 6,584 yards, thirty scores. His best was 1,242. This is not that, yet.

He is thirty, out of Phoenix, Arizona. Around the building he is the one the young players actually ask. The route here: the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position.

The club is 8-7. Andre Lockett is new. He is out of contract after this.

Vermicelli carries a chess set on the road and beats everyone.

This feature ran in the paper in week 16 of 2004. The rest of the season is there too.
