A club let Trent Odom walk. He gained 127 yards on them. These two facts are being carefully kept apart in the postgame. He is 33 now, which was most of the argument at the time. Both clubs will insist there is nothing in it. There is always something in it.
Across four seasons: 7,459 yards from scrimmage, 110 touchdowns, sixty-four games. He got to 2,181 once. Not this time. Three clubs have had him.
He is from Reykjavik, Iceland. He says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. Nobody planned any of it. He was converted from quarterback, which he was not good enough at.
Cannoneers, 11-3, and fifteen weeks gone. Hoot Jessup is in year three of it.
He is the last man off the field, every week, without exception, and always has.
