People inside that building will tell you the decision on Cyrus Thunderpaw was not unanimous. 159 yards will not settle it either way. He is 34 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.
22,185 yards over thirteen seasons. 340 touchdowns. 207 games. There was a 2,178-yard year in there. This is not it. Three clubs have had him.
He is from Phoenix, Arizona. He is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take. In another life he spent two summers on a crab boat.
Firebrands, 5-3, and eight weeks gone. Barney Grit is in year thirteen of it. There is one year left on the deal.
He reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious, and always has.
