T.X. Lattimore had 165 yards against the Longshoremen, who used to employ him. He is 36 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.

The ledger, after fourteen seasons: 18,221 yards, 295 scores. There was a 2,448-yard year in there. This is not it. For four clubs.

He is from Sable, North Dakota. Ask anybody: he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. Nobody planned any of it. He was the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position.

The club is 2-5. Damon Renfrow is in year six of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

He eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 8 of 2018. The rest of the season is there too.
