The Fighting Ostriches
Corey Brinkerhoff, 39, reads Fragile and is averaging 13.1 over the season. The decline curve has not found him yet. He reads Fragile, which makes the mileage harder to explain, not easier.
He has 5,027 yards from scrimmage in sixteen seasons, and eighty-three touchdowns. His best was 866. This is not that, yet. For five clubs.
He is thirty-nine, out of Kestrel, Montana. Around the building he keeps his own counsel and his own hours. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.
The Fighting Ostriches are 6-2 through eight weeks. Reuben Dupree is in year eight of it. He is out of contract after this.
Brinkerhoff has a rule about not reading anything written about him, which he breaks.
