A. Lindquist Jr. has now thrown 71 touchdowns to Applesauce Okonkwo. Partnerships like that used to be how you described a team, before everybody started describing schemes. They have played 16 games together this season alone. One of them will leave first. They always do.

Tannery Row, Maine is where he is from. He is twenty-nine. He is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.

Boarhounds are 11-5 through seventeen weeks. Oscar Kearse is in year thirty of it. The contract runs out in the spring.
