Talk about a Journeyman

[Rizon]

Ran across this guy today. Poor sap can't find a home. On his 11th team.

Card.

[QuikSand]

The must have been a few interesting weeks in Seattle.

[aston217]

We have a punter in the CyFL who is something like 7 years, 7 teams. Trying to make it to 8.

[Julio Riddols]

INT: Seattle Seahawks owners office. A rotund old, graying man in glasses and a suit stands facing a mahogany table next to a window to the right, adjacent to a wall decorated with Seahawks memorabilia. He pours himself a glass of gin as the door to the office opens.

(Enter Seattle GM)

Seattle Owner (without turning around): " Hey there Clarence, I hear you needed to speak with me."

Clarence: " Yeah, looks like we have a situation on the roster with Johnson getting hurt this afternoon. X-rays are negative, but he will be out at least 3 weeks, and we don't have anyone on the practice squad to replace him."

Seattle Owner: " We don't have anyone on the roster to play Mike? "

Clarence: "Unfortunately, no. No one we're comfortable with. We need a MLB off the street.. There are a couple guys we like, both would sign for league minimum. Jefferson and Torres."

Seattle's Owner: "Fuck Torres, sign Jefferson. Get his agent on the phone, I'll have Richard draw up the contract."

(The old man takes a drink)

Clarence: "Not a big fan of Torres?"

(The old man turns slightly, looking at Clarence. He pauses, finishes the glass of gin and turns, adjusting his glasses.)

Seattle Owner: "Clarence, that little shit knocked up my granddaughter a couple years ago. He refuses to acknowledge his own son. I'll be damned if I am going to give him one red cent."

(Clarence begins to turn and leave while the old man reaches for the gin and glass again)

Clarence: "We'll get in touch with Jeffers-"

(The old man cuts him off as he leaves)

Seattle Owner: " Clarence, wait a minute. Here is what I want you to do. Go ahead and sign Jefferson, but get Torres agent on the phone and patch him in to me. Let's fuck with that little prick for a few weeks."

Clarence (laughing to self): "Will do sir. I'll be in touch."

(As Clarence shuts the door behind him, the old man downs his second glass of gin and stares out the window. A faint smile creases his wrinkled face.)

The award for the best FOF fiction definitely goes to Julio.

Julio is KING of fictional dialog.

[scorp]

I was waiting for the owner to say seal him in a sleeping bag full of fire ants:D

[Raiders Army]

He is Well Liked.

[Autumn]

He is Well Liked.

That explains it. He's on a publicity tour of the NFL.

[lastcat3]

Lots of guys like that that teams sign for a cheap one year contract just to fill some holes and is never good or productive enough to give a second contract to.

It is surprising that he has been with up to four teams in a single year though. From what I have seen many of those guys stay with a team for an entire year and then are released. Must of been a lot of injuries that year.

Is this a single player league we are talking about?

I'd love to get paid a full year salary at 6 different companies in one year.

Lol, that's right. At least for the 2011 season Bennie Torres made as much as most of the stars did.
