Virgil Sideburns lost for the year to a meniscus

Virgil Sideburns RB
Muskox

Virgil Sideburns is hurt again, and this time it is a meniscus and the whole season. It is the third time this season he has been on the report. Draft accordingly.

The ledger, after five seasons: 5,098 yards, twenty-one scores. There was a 1,916-yard year in there. This is not it.

He is twenty-five, out of Detroit, Michigan. He keeps his own counsel and his own hours. He was found at a regional combine by a scout whose flight had been cancelled.

The club is 3-13. Fitz Whitaker is in year three of it. There is one year left on the deal.

He calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 17 of 2008. The rest of the season is there too.
