The Gimlet Eye The Jocks Ii

I have to interview Stevie Cauthen tomorrow. I’m not enthusiastic about that. Cauthen isn’t enthusiastic either. Heck, what do you ask a man/boy who has had more coverage than fifty gallons of paint on one ten-by-ten garage wall? I was very respectful this afternoon. I tugged my forelock: I apologized for my existence on earth; I asked if he could spare me some time.

“Fifteen minutes.”
