The Custodians
Elmo Vermicelli is hurt again. 3 games, this time a high ankle. It is the second high ankle of his career.
8,532 yards over five seasons. 123 touchdowns. Seventy games. There was a 2,830-yard year in there. This is not it.
He turned twenty-seven this year. He is from Pinch, West Virginia. He is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.
The Custodians are 6-3 through ten weeks. Hutch Ellington is new.
One more thing: he keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.
