Andre Lindquist Jr. had 139 yards against the Boarhounds, who used to employ him. He would rather be almost anywhere else on a Tuesday, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.

25,906 yards over sixteen seasons. 400 touchdowns. 275 games. His best was 2,575. This is not that, yet. For four clubs.

Ashfork, Arizona is where he is from. He is thirty-nine. He was the younger brother of a player nobody in this league remembers.

Roughnecks, 8-8, and seventeen weeks gone. Herb Garden is in year five of it. There is one year left on the deal.

Lindquist Jr. learned to cook properly during a rehab year and now does it for the offensive line.

This feature ran in the paper in week 17 of 2011. The rest of the season is there too.
