I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like C. Thunderpaw, who was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take. 109 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. Out of Windham, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. The ones who arrive like this tend to know what it cost. That is usually worth something in December.
