Ke'Andre Mancini returns from the groin

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Ke'Andre Mancini WR
The Fighting Ostriches

Ke'Andre Mancini returned from a groin and put up 32.2 points.

Across six seasons: 6,234 yards from scrimmage, twenty-nine touchdowns, ninety-five games. None of the others were this good. For two clubs.

Thirty-three, and Muddy Creek, Kentucky before that. Ask anybody: he talks constantly and means about half of it. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.

The club is 2-2. Percy Trubisky is in year five of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

Reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious.

This feature ran in the paper in week 4 of 1982. The rest of the season is there too.
