The Fighting Ostriches

They got Ke'Andre Mancini back. He looked like he never left — 24.0 points.

He has 6,234 yards from scrimmage in six seasons, and twenty-nine touchdowns. This is the best of them. For two clubs.

He is thirty-three, out of Muddy Creek, Kentucky. 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 Fighting Ostriches are 4-5 through nine weeks. Percy Trubisky is in year five of it. He is out of contract after this.

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

This feature ran in the paper in week 9 of 1982. The rest of the season is there too.
