Silas Pancakes returns the favour

Silas Pancakes WR
The Fighting Ostriches

117 yards for Silas Pancakes, against the club that did not want him. We did. He talks constantly and means about half of it, so nobody expects him to say much about it. The fixture comes round again next year.

15,184 yards over eleven seasons. Fifty-one touchdowns. 176 games. He got to 2,194 once. Not this time. For two clubs.

He turned thirty-three this year. He is from Cork, Ireland. The route here: drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.

The club is 2-1. Reuben Dupree is in year five of it. He is out of contract after this.

Pancakes reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious.

This feature ran in the paper in week 3 of 2011. The rest of the season is there too.
