Boarhounds
Franklin Curdle III went for 175 against the Copperheads AND THEY LET HIM LEAVE. Two of them found the end zone. The fixture comes round again next year.
The ledger, after five seasons: 10,692 yards, 179 scores. None of the others were this good. He has done it in three buildings.
Oakland, California is where he is from. He is twenty-seven. Ask anybody: he is the first man in the building most mornings. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched. In another life he worked nights at a rendering plant to pay for a truck he never bought.
Boarhounds, 12-2, and fifteen weeks gone. Oscar Kearse is new.
Curdle III collects vinyl and is insufferable about it.
