Longshoremen
I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like Trip Iverson, who was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched. 205 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. Two of them found the end zone, in game 6 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.
He has 7,221 yards from scrimmage in four seasons, and ninety-nine touchdowns. He has never had a year like it.
Twenty-six, and Cattaraugus Falls, New York before that. Around the building he talks constantly and means about half of it.
Longshoremen are 5-1 through six weeks. Donte Massengale is new. The contract runs out in the spring.
He reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious, and always has.
