Silas Pancakes WR
The Fighting Ostriches

Silas Pancakes is BACK. 30.6 points in his first week.

Across twelve seasons: 16,121 yards from scrimmage, fifty-three touchdowns, 191 games. He got to 2,194 once. Not this time. He has done it in two buildings.

Cork, Ireland is where he is from. He is thirty-four. Around the building he talks constantly and means about half of it. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.

The Fighting Ostriches are 7-6 through fourteen weeks. Reuben Dupree is in year six of it. There is one year left on the deal.

He reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 14 of 2012. The rest of the season is there too.
