The Fighting Ostriches
There is no good week for this. Pinky Northcutt gets the rest of the season on the shelf with an MCL. The backup inherits the job for now.
31,119 yards over fifteen seasons. 454 touchdowns. 264 games. He got to 3,034 once. Not this time. Five clubs have had him.
Thirty-seven, and Phoenix, Arizona before that. He is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. He was signed off a practice squad in November and never gave the job back.
The Fighting Ostriches are 11-4 through sixteen weeks. Tomas Vinatieri is new. The contract runs out in the spring.
One more thing: he calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.
