115 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like G. Fourthquarter Jr., who was undrafted out of Pitchfork A&M, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. 115 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. He keeps his father's work gloves in his locker, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. The ones who arrive like this tend to know what it cost. That is usually worth something in December.

This story ran on the wire in week 4 of 1981. The rest of the season is in the paper.
