Hellcats lose Silas Pancakes to a broken forearm

Silas Pancakes WR
Hellcats

Silas Pancakes is unavailable. That is the season. That is his season.

10,028 yards over seven seasons. Twenty-five touchdowns. 114 games. He got to 2,194 once. Not this time.

Cork, Ireland is where he is from. He is twenty-nine. He talks constantly and means about half of it. The route here: drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.

The club is 8-3. Rico Norwood is new. He is out of contract after this.

Reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious.

This feature ran in the paper in week 12 of 2007. The rest of the season is there too.
