Vagabond Blues

Vagabond Blues is an insiders' peek at minor league football in the early 1980's where Robbie Santos, a young man with big league aspirations, is thrust into a world with NFL castaways, Vietnam Vets, drunks and drug-users who are all trying with frantic efforts to rise above the decadence and be noticed. Over the course of one season playing with the defending Minor League Football Champion Sumpter City Cougars, Robbie is forced to make decisions that could compromise his ideals, his football career, and his future.
