Slippery Boxwell, formerly of the Pikemen: 79 yards. He was asked about it and said it was just another game. He is 35 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.

The ledger, after twelve seasons: 17,769 yards, 238 scores. He got to 2,884 once. Not this time. For four clubs.

He is from Newark, New Jersey. Ask anybody: he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. He was a basketball player until he was twenty, and it still shows.

The club is 9-5. Tomas Vinatieri is in year four of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

He keeps his father's work gloves in his locker, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 15 of 2021. The rest of the season is there too.
