Cannoneers
Cricket Beale Jr.: Achilles, the rest of the season. That is his season.
2,819 yards over six seasons. Eleven touchdowns. Seventy-five games. There was a 1,487-yard year in there. This is not it. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.
Twenty-seven, and Detroit, Michigan before that. He says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. The route here: a basketball player until he was twenty, and it still shows. Before any of it he taught himself to weld from library books.
Cannoneers are 2-0 through two weeks. Mike Rowave is in year nine of it.
One more thing: he has never once been photographed smiling on a sideline.
