Roughnecks
Curtis Lardner went for 75 against the Toboggans AND THEY LET HIM LEAVE. He is 36 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.
21,174 yards over thirteen seasons. 273 touchdowns. 208 games. His best was 2,575. This is not that, yet. He has done it in four buildings.
He is from Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. He is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. Nobody planned any of it. He was undrafted out of Dunbar Normal, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum.
Roughnecks are 6-1 through seven weeks. Elias Lockett Jr. is in year four of it. There is one year left on the deal.
Lardner reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious.
