Andre Danforth had this date circled, whatever he says

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Andre Danforth QB
Copperheads

Andre Danforth went for 76 against the Porterhouse AND THEY LET HIM LEAVE. He talks constantly and means about half of it, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.

The ledger, after fourteen seasons: 12,600 yards, 153 scores. He got to 1,616 once. Not this time. He has done it in three buildings.

He is thirty-eight, out of Muddy Creek, Kentucky. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

Copperheads, 2-1, and three weeks gone. Gravy Trubisky Jr. is new. There is one year left on the deal.

He reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 3 of 2006. The rest of the season is there too.
