The Mustaches
Ace Vance had 117 yards. He was cut twice before his twenty-fourth birthday. Out of Fitchett State, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. It counts the same as anybody else's.
4,094 yards over three seasons. Sixty-eight touchdowns. Forty-four games. His best was 1,428. This is not that, yet.
Twenty-four, and Lagos, Nigeria before that. He is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful.
The Mustaches are 3-6 through ten weeks. Silas Beale is in year eighteen of it.
He reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious, and always has.
