174 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like Tucker Halloran Jr., who was undrafted out of Bramble Hill, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. 174 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. Out of Bramble Hill, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. The ones who arrive like this tend to know what it cost. That is usually worth something in December.

The ledger, after six seasons: 13,069 yards, 163 scores. He has never had a year like it. For two clubs.

Ojo Caliente, New Mexico is where he is from. He is twenty-eight. He keeps his own counsel and his own hours.

Roughnecks are 1-0 through one weeks. Mack Truckington is new.

Eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it.

This feature ran in the paper in week 1 of 2019. The rest of the season is there too.
